in the director’s commentary section of the holiday dvd, nancy meyers shared the reason why she decided to use shere as the film location for the holiday. not only is shere a beautiful, quintessential english country village, it is also just about an hour away from london, where the film cast and crew were based. so filming there made much financial and geographical sense. the village’s location and charms have lured many filming productions to shoot there, among those were four weddings and a funeral (1994), bridget jones: the edge of reasons (2004), and the wedding date (2005) .
the love montage of the date scenes (screenshots below) is an hommage to the classic romantic movies from the 1960’s, specifically the 1966 french film a man and a woman, shared meyers in the director’s commentary. the beautiful montage was filmed on location at a real georgian country house, cornwell manor in oxfordshire .

according to her own telling, wegener’s transition into elbe began by chance, when one of her wife’s life models failed to turn up. the couple’s mutual friend, an actress named anna larsen, suggested that the slight einar might step in instead. at first she resisted, but eventually she gave in to gerda’s pleas. “i cannot deny, strange as it may sound, that i enjoyed myself in this disguise. i liked the feel of soft women’s clothing, ” she wrote. “i felt very much at home in them from the first moment. ”
in beverly hills. meyers chose the grill as the film location for this scene because it is the right place for someone of arthur’s generation to frequent. in the scene, meyers had the two friends sitting in the middle of the room to convey that they’re just everyday folks, not hollywood elites, so they don’t get to sit at any “special” table .

“it was the house i always dreamed of, ” ms. diller said, “and here it was, already built. ” she loved her brentwood home and named many of its 22 rooms. for example, the living room was the bob hope salon, her office was the bach room, one of the guest rooms - washed in yellow - was named the canary suite, the red kitchen was the scarlet scullery, the room with an organ was the pump room, a powder room was the edith head room, and a mirrored telephone room was the john wilkes booth .

one of the disappointments the von trapp children had about “the sound of music” was the portrayal of their father as a detached disciplinarian. while he did use a whistle with a distinctive sound for each child and dressed them in sailor suits, the captain did not make his children march or stand at attention. “in reality, georg was a warm and loving if somewhat overwhelmed father. it was actually maria herself, ” santopietro writes, “with her emotionally stunted upbringing, who needed thawing. ” johannes von trapp told the bbc that his father was “a very charming man, generous, open, and not the martinet he was made out to be both in the stage play and in the film. my mother did try to alter that portrayal for the film, but she was not successful. ”
after the final shot wrapped, the actors were told that they needed to redo the finale, rosemary clooney recalled in the dvd extras. the king and queen of greece were visiting the set and the producer hoped to
give them something to remember .
so the entire scene was
reshot
— but without film in the camera or bing crosby, who had already left to play golf .
after astaire and crosby' s success in holiday inn, this film was intended to reunite them. but astaire had
retired

inar wegener would kill himself in the spring. he had chosen a date – may 1, 1930 – after a year spent in torment. the cause of his suffering was quite simple: he was sure he was a woman, born into the wrong body. or perhaps it was more complicated: sometimes wegener, whose life is soon to be portrayed on film by the oscar - winning british actor eddie redmayne in
john wayne was born may 26, 1907, in winterset, iowa. he received his first leading film role in the big trail (1930). working with john ford, he got his next big break in in stagecoach (1939). his career as an actor took another leap forward when he worked with director howard hawks in red river (1948). wayne won his first academy award in 1969. he died of cancer in 1979 .

as betty haynes, rosemary clooney plays vera - ellen' s older sister in the movie, but she was actually seven years younger. when the film came out, clooney was 26, and vera - ellen, 33. even more striking? bing crosby, who plays her love interest, was 51 when the movie debuted. that' s a 25 - year - age gap! (it' s also funny to note that dean jagger, who played the retired, elderly general was actually born a few months after crosby. )

this slow burn track starts off with more of a melancholy guitar - strum vibe, but subtly starts to pick up in intensity with heavier guitars by the end of the first verse and a more aggressive bluesy wail toward the end of the track to match the power in vaden todd lewis & apos; voice .
speaking of touring, the 20 - year - old lewis would appreciate what the modern day version of the singer is doing this fall. the band starts a lengthy trek sept. 6 in denton, texas, with local h and doesn & apos; t wind down the run until nov. 10 in austin, texas. see all of the scheduled dates below .
the touring comes in support of the band & apos; s new album, the lower side of uptown, which is due sept. 8 via kirtland records .
this album is & apos; roots toadies, & apos ;
says guitarist clark vogeler, pointing out the major riffage and time shifts .
i feel that subconsciously we thought that this record would have ended up incorporating some of that quieter sound, but that didn & apos; t happen ,
adds the guitarist .
when we got to the studio with nothing more than a pile of riffs, what came out of the band was really loud and heavy music. so not only is this album louder than heretics, i think it & apos; s louder and heavier than the last couple toadies albums .

, felt he was two people in the same body, each fighting for supremacy .
one was a danish landscape painter, a steadfast man who, in his own words, “could withstand storms”. he was married to a woman whose strength and talent matched, or perhaps even surpassed, his own: gerda wegener, a successful art deco illustrator who produced portraits of fashionable women for magazines such as vogue and la vie parisienne .
the other shared none of these qualities. lili elbe was, as she set down in letters and notes for an autobiography, a “thoughtless, flighty, very superficially - minded woman”, prone to fits of weeping and barely able to speak in front of powerful men. but despite her womanly defects, by february 1930 she was becoming too powerful for wegener to resist. “i am finished, ” he wrote at the time. “lili has known this for a long time. that’s how matters stand. and consequently she rebels more vigorously every day. ”
in the year before her death, elbe had divorced gerda, given up painting, and was embarking tentatively on a relationship with a french art dealer. “it is not with my brain, not with my eyes, not with my hands that i want to be creative, but with my heart and with my blood, ” she wrote. “the fervent longing in my woman’s life is to become the mother of a child. ”
xtraordinary as it may seem, this accidental awakening unlocked such deep feelings that wegener continued to dress as lili - the name with which she was christened by larsen – with the encouragement of gerda, who used her as a model for her illustrations .
in 1912, the couple moved to paris. there, gerda accompanied lili – or rather, “einar’s sister” – to balls, and watched as she flirted with the unsuspecting officers they met there. in elbe' s later telling, it was gerda who became lili’s greatest advocate, and for the next decade and a half they forged on with their unconventional marriage. there are suggestions that gerda may herself have been gay; she certainly depicted women with women in her erotic drawings .
s the years passed, wegener became increasingly unwell and depressed; she applied to doctors for help, but they responded with “headshakings” and “disdain”. some diagnosed her as hysterical, others as gay. “i said to myself that as my case has never been known in the history of the medical art, it simply did not exist, it simply could not exist, ” she wrote .
wegener lived at the dawn of understanding of human sex and gender. in 1918, magnus hirschfeld, a german physician who also founded the world’s first gay rights organisation, opened the institute for sexual research in berlin. having spent the previous 30 years documenting the experiences of homosexual men and women around the world, hirschfeld’s intention was to turn sexology into a rigorous academic discipline. it was hirschfeld who came up with the term “transsexualismus” for those who wanted to become, rather than simply appear to be, a different sex. (this is distinct from being transgendered, which does not necessarily imply a desire for physical transformation. )
at the turn of the century, doctors had conducted experiments which aimed to work out the biological basis for gender in animals. professor steinach of vienna grafted ovaries into male rats castrated in infancy, and noted the growth of breasts and nipples. when they reached puberty, these “feminised” animals showed no interest in females in heat, and did not display male mating behaviour. the reverse, meanwhile, was true of female rats whose ovaries had been replaced with testicular grafts. only decades later would scientists isolate, and ultimately synthesise, the sex hormones oestrogen and testosterone .
he procedures by which the then - 47 - year - old wegener became elbe are not precisely known, partly because the library and archive of the institute for sexual research were destroyed by the nazis in may 1933. in the biography man into woman, which incorporates many of wegener / elbe’s diary entries and letters, as well as conversations with the book’s “editor”, niels hoyer, details are elusive .
certainly she underwent a series of operations at the dresden clinic of kurt warnekros – a doctor described breathlessly in the book as a man of limitless masculine potency, lili’s saviour and creator. these cost around 5000 kroner – around £12, 000 in today’s money – which wegener raised by selling off a number of paintings .
aside from the fatal womb transplant, and the removal of wegener’s testicles and penis, the ovaries of a young woman were also grafted into wegener’s body. (elbe suggests in her memoir that when she was operated on, an existing pair of shrunken ovaries was found in her body. )
ili’s new surname, elbe, was chosen for the river which flows through the city of her rebirth. after her initial operations, she seesawed between a feeling of astonished joy and moments of deep despair, when she feared she would never be accepted by the world at large. many of wegener’s male friends refused to see her, and she had the sense that she had “murdered” einar. she abandoned painting, rejecting it as a relic of her former existence, and found herself increasingly detached from memories of einar’s life .
er past life was disappearing into a fog. the danish king agreed to annul her marriage to gerda, and their divorce became official on october 6 1930. (gerda later remarried an italian officer who burned through her savings; she died penniless in 1940 .) lili was granted a passport in her new name. when she visited her sympathetic older brother, she told him that she could no longer remember where their parents were buried. perhaps, she felt, she had no father and mother at all .

it' s the third time bing sang
white christmas
on screen .
the title track was originally performed by bing crosby 13 years earlier, on the radio show the kraft music hall. then, he sang it in irving berlin' s 1942 classic, holiday inn (above), as well as blue skies in 1946. this one is still our favorite, though .
general waverly' s columbia inn in fictional pine tree, vermont, made it' s debut a decade before, in holiday inn. the set on the paramount lot was refurbished for the next christmas classic .
when the character judy haynes sings, the parts were all recorded by costar rosemary clooney or singer trudy stevens. the only time vera' s real singing voice is heard is when they disembark the train in vermont and the quartet sing the opening lines of
snow .
vera - ellen started dancing at age 10. and at 18, she had become one of the youngest radio city rockettes, performing in several broadway shows before heading to hollywood. fun tidbit: growing up in norwood, ohio, a suburb of cincinnati, she carpooled to dancing classes with doris day !
the iconic scene when bob tells betty his theory of what foods cause which dreams was almost completely improvised, according to rosemary clooney. (then, he launched into
count your blessings
and we stopped caring that buttermilk with liverwurst sandwiches sounds absolutely vile .) in fact, much of bob' s dialogue was based on crosby' s own conversation. so thank him for gems like ,
weirdsmobile .
when bob looks at a picture of benny haynes ,
the dog - faced boy ,
it' s actually an image of a grown - up carl switzer. he' s best remembered for playing alfalfa in the original our gang, also known as the the little rascals .
it' s confusing, but bear with us. it seems odd that while preparing to go on stage for the sisters routine, betty and judy mention their brother being out of the country working in alaska. but the movie was released in 1954 and alaska wasn' t admitted as a state until 1959. that said, it was a u. s. territory at the time, so not technically out of the country.
