The Talented Mr. Bogarde - One of my favourite Bogarde films was made in 1950, when he co-starred with Jean Simmons in 'So Long at The Fair'. Where was the action set?
The correct answer is 'Paris'
'So Long at The Fair'(1950) took place during the Paris Exhibition of 1900. Simmons played a young woman who accompanied her brother to Paris for the event, and when he disappeared, she could find no one - except Bogarde's character, of course - to believe that (a) she had a brother, (b) he had disappeared, (c) she wasn't crazy. A similar plot device was used by Alfred Hitchcock in 'The Lady Vanishes'. There's a long-standing urban legend about a young woman who accompanied her mother to the Paris Exhibition (although it's not clear whether the exhibition in question was that of 1889 or 1900). Mother, according to the urban legend, contracted some highly infectious disease and was whisked away by the authorities, leaving a distraught daughter with no idea about what had happened to her mother.
