Notes |
Newscopy: "UNION SQUARE took on the appearance of the film studio yesterday as Universal-International began shooting scenes for a Lana Turner mystery melodrama 'Portrait in Black'. Action was centered around I. Magnin's store, at Geary and Stockton sts., with several hundred San Franciscans forming an impromptu audience. Lana Turner, who attended school in San Francisco, was fighting the flu with the aid of an $8000 taurmeline mink coat (below) flown in from New York for the picture. The filming, with featured players Sandra Dee, John Saxon and Anthony Quinn and 86 extras, took a little more than three hours hours in the morning--and about the same amount of time in the afternoon. The net result--about three minutes for the screen. The company will continue shooting in San Francisco through next Saturday. Scenes are set in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, at a home on Broadway, on the Embarcadero, Devil's Slide in San Mateo County and in Chinatown. (Story by William Steif on Page 11.)" |
