South Canadian River on what is known
281 — once part of Route 66 — crosses the South Canadian River on what is known as the Pony Bridge. In fiction, strangers trade Gatsby stories; outside in the long, hot Australian summer of filming, it is 'Leo’ who is the fodder. It’s true – the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing (and Dancing with the Stars, as it is known in other markets) was inspired by his love story of a gallumphing girl transformed in the arms of her dance partner. Extraordinarily, only two of us even register that it is him. Yet as we walk between sound stages, DiCaprio, who, unusually for a film star, is far taller than you’d expect, walks directly towards us.In his subsequent Lewton films, Isle of the Dead and Bedlam, he plays (in turn) a career military man trying to cope with the plague and the crewl administrator of a notorious 18th century asylum. He also keeps some perfectly preserved bodies in glass cases in his basement and holds weekly meetings of the local Satanic coven. Second best-dressed pooch went to Sammy, who sported a Hawaiian shirt and captain's hat. But things started turning around in ‘31 with Howard Hawks’ The Criminal Code."Strangely enough, she seems to have no problems with it," England said. 'I dropped it into my bag and went to meet a friend and I was like, “Baz gave me a copy of the book,” and my mate said, “Give me a look at that.It says wearing the sort of lacy underwear usually reserved for women is "fun, it feels great and it makes choosing underwear each day a little more enjoyable". In the scenes between Daisy and Gatsby, the engagement ring Tom gave her becomes such a weighty thing. To Americans it is something of a sacred text: it has been filmed five times before (as a silent movie in 1926; in 1949 starring Alan Ladd; most lusciously with Robert Redford in the lead role in a 1974 version with a script by Francis Ford Coppola; it was filmed for television in 2000 and again, with a modern twist, as G in 2002). Here was the deal: Bohdanovich was to use 20 minutes from The Terror, shoot new footage of Karloff for 2 days, then shoot about 45 minutes of something else to tie everything together.
