BETWEEN TWO WORLDS – Erich Wolfgang Korngold
GREATEST SCORES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Original Review by Craig Lysy
The play 1923 Outward Bound by Sutton Vane enjoyed successful theatrical runs in London and later on Broadway, where it achieved 144 performances. In 1943 Warner Brothers Studios decided to embark on a remake of their original fantasy film version of Outward Bound from 1930. Jack Warner and Mark Hellinger took charge of production, Edward A. Blatt was tasked with directing, and Daniel Fuchs was hired to write a new screenplay, incorporating story elements from both the original 1924 Broadway play and the 1930 film. A stellar cast was hired, including Paul Henreid as Henry Bergner, Eleanor Parker as Ann Bergner, Sydney Greenstreet as the Examiner, the Reverend Tim Thompson, Edmund Gwenn as Scrubby, John Garfield as Tom Prior, George Coulouris as Lingley, Faye Emerson as Maxine, Sara Allgood as Mrs. Midget, Dennis King as the Reverend Duke, Isobel Elsom as Genevieve Cliveden-Banks and Gilbert Emery as Benjamin Cliveden-Banks.
