Wissenswertes
Kenneth More says in his autobiography, "More or Less", that he was against having Vivien Leigh as his co star in the film, regarding her as altogether too glamorous. He felt that the play's concentration on the squalor of the surroundings in which the Leigh character finds herself had been greatly diminished for the film, which had color, CinemaScope and locations in Switzerland and made no reference to the deprivations of the war or the post-war austerity era in Britain. Leigh was aware of his opposition, which he expressed openly at a rehearsal, and he says that did not help the chemistry between the two of them. (More would have preferred Peggy Ashcroft with whom he had appeared in the original play - she was less glamorous and older). The 2011 remake resolutely de-glamorizes everything.

Tremendous Performance by the Leading Actress

Anyone expecting an aristocratic performance by Vivien Leigh is doomed to disappointment. Clad in a drab series of blouses and slacks, she makes Hester Collier a self-interested neurotic perpetually needing succour from anyone willing to listen. Her main problem is a lack of self-reliance, as the Doctor (Eric Portman) informs her. The men in her life are self-interested in their different ways, and have no emotional capacity to empathise with her. The only person who understands anything is her landlady (Dandy Nichols).

Director Anatole Litvak opens the play to include multiple views of the seedier parts of London, where Hester (Leigh) has voluntarily ended up. The sera is hard and tough - not the place for a shrinking violet trying to assert her authority yet failing.
