The Sun Also Rises (1957 film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_Also_Rises_(1957_film)
The Sun Also Rises is a 1957 film adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name directed by Henry King. The screenplay was written by Peter Viertel and it starred Tyrone Power, Ava Gardner, Mel Ferrer and Errol Flynn. Much of it was filmed on location in France and Spain in Cinemascope and color by Deluxe. A highlight of the film is the famous "running of the bulls" in Pamplona, Spain and two bullfights
Zanuck wanted the lead played by Gregory Peck, who had previously appeared in several Hemingway adaptations, including the popular The Snows of Kilimanjaro]].Jennifer Jones signed to play Lady Brett.
The movie became the first to be produced for Zanuck's own independent production company following his departure from Fox (although Fox would still distribute).
Cinematographer Charles Clarke started filming bullfighting sequences in Pamplona in June 1956.
Henry King signed to direct and Walter Reisch to produce. Jennifer Jones had to pull out from the film because of her commitment to make A Farewell to Arms for her husband David O. Selznick. Dana Wynter and Robert Stack were mentioned as possible leads. Ava Gardner was announced for the female lead, but then pulled out to make Thieves Market with William Wyler, so Susan Hayward was cast in her place.
However Hemingway insisted that Gardner play Lady Brett so Zanuck went after her and succeeded in getting her to sign. "I am convinced Lady Brett Ashley is the most interesting character I have ever played," said Gardner.
Zanuck later claimed that the casting of Gardner forced the film to be postponed from September 1956 to February 1957. This meant the film could not actually be shot in Pamplona "unless we wanted to shoot a fiesta in the snow". It was decided to film it in Mexico instead.
In February 1957 Tyrone Power signed to play the male lead. Mel Ferrer then joined, followed by Eddie Albert and Errol Flynn. Singer Juliette Greco was also given a role after being spotted singing in a cafe by Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn.
Walter Reisch withdrew as producer because of his other commitments to Fox and Zanuck decided to produce the movie personally. Producer Darryl F. Zanuck spotted suit salesman Robert Evans at the El Morocco and decided to cast him as the young bullfighter Pedro Romero in the film. He did this against the wishes of co-stars Ava Gardner and Tyrone Power, as well as Hemingway himself. Zanuck overruled all involved, and Evans – who later became a popular producer himself – used Zanuck's response as the title for his 1994 biography, The Kid Stays in the Picture.
Filming started March 1957 in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. (It had been intended to shoot in Pamplona but the trees were not in foliage and the production could not afford to wait. There was also shooting in Spain and France.
Although Hemingway's novel had an undefined "mid 1920s" setting when it was published in 1926, the film adaptation places the story around 1922. The film uses the song "You Do Something To Me" as a motif, which was not written until 1929.
Zanuck had originally intended to shoot some scenes on the Fox backlot in Hollywood but changed his mind and took the unit to Paris and Biarritz instead. This added an estimated $250,000 to the budget

Flamenco Guitar Master Vicente Gomez
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLUxHEJ4kPM
This 1950s video features composer, guitarist Vicente Gomez performing some of his Alegrias composition.
For those unfamiliar with Gomez, he was born in Madrid in 1911 and got an early start in music performing flamenco in his father's red light district tavern by the age of 8. Concert pianist Arthur Rubenstein eventually heard him play (presumably not while frequenting Madrid's red light district!) and encouraged him to pursue a professional career. He toured the world performing in the 1930s and became a U.S. citizen in the 1940s. He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and discharged in 1946, after which he opened a nightclub in New York, performing classical and flamenco music on his guitar nightly. During this period he also served as President of the New York Classical Guitar Society. In the 1950s he moved to Los Angeles and opened "The Academy of Spanish Arts" to teach classical and flamenco guitar, flamenco dancing, Spanish language, etc. He was also a frequent contributor to film music. Vicente Gomez passed away in December 2001 at the age of 90, just two months after his wife passed away.
