Charles Laughton as Inspector Maigret, alongside Franchot Tone and Burgess Meredith in The Man On The Eiffel Tower [1950], the first american film shot in colour (AnscoColor) in Paris. 
[Laughton] found it impossible to work with Irving Allen, the designated director, so Franchot Tone, whose company was making the film, decided to attempt a bold experiment in co-operative film-making: the actors would take over. Burgess Meredith would take overall responsibility and direct all the scenes he wasn’t in; Charles would direct all the scenes he wasn’t in and Tone would do anything left over. 
The director of photography was Stanley Cortez, Orson Welles’ cameraman on The Magnificent Ambersons, and he must have offered advice to all three tyro directors...’Everybody left Paris to catch a ship, leaving me and Charles behind to do the finishing sequences. That’s when I got to thinking Charles would make a good director,’ wrote Cortez later. ‘I saw Paris through his eyes, all of Paris; and he knew Paris better than most Frenchmen.’  - Simon Callow, Charles Laughton - A Difficult Actor.

Is this for the Classic Hollywood meme post I reblogged XD? I meant it to be a series of gif sets for me to try out. I hope to make gif sets for each one (so 10 movies I love, 9 of my favorite actresses, 8 of my favorite actors, etc.). Not sure how realistic that goal is since that would require 55 gif sets, and I’m not very fast at making gifs. But we’ll see ^^.
Actually to be honest, when I saw the classic couples one, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do that one since I don’t really have any Old Hollywood couples I particularly like or care for? Since I don’t know all that much about the love lives of famous couples. I might tweak that one to do fictional couples? Probably? What does everyone else think I should do XD? (I’ll open this question up to everyone else)
I will admit that I’ve always been pretty intrigued by the romance between Orson Welles & Rita Hayworth. Robert Taylor & Barbara Stanwyck have also captured my attention in the past as well. In terms of long term relationships that didn’t end in divorce, I’ll pick Joel McCrea and Frances Dee (I’m assuming I can only pick couples in which both parties are relatively well-established Hollywood stars, so I won’t pick Jimmy Stewart and Gloria Hatrick McLean, for example). I don’t know too much about Joel McCrea and Frances Dee, but I like the way they look visually together because they look so different and give off such different vibes. I’ll also just throw in Franchot Tone & Joan Crawford as a couple I think looked nice visually together.
Sorry for the misleading post, but I hope you enjoy my quasi-responses 😅.

“A stunning woman, and there’s something about her I like and admire. I found her gracious and considerate, and if you look beneath all the Hollywood crap, you can detect a woman who refused to become a loser, who pulled herself up from nothing and made something out of her life.” -Hedda Hooper
