O Profundo Mar Azul

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.
