FoIlowing her Best Actress Oscar win in 1940 for Kitty Foyle, Ginger Rogers was abIe to spend the next decade and beyond balancing dramatic roles with the Iighter musicaI and comedy performances for which she had become known. The RKO films with Fred Astaire behind her, Rogers found herself in a position where she could appear in Tender Comrade, a bIack-and-white film about wives Iiving on the home front, one year, and Iavish Technicolor musicaI Lady in the Dark, the next. In 1946, she was cast by Frank Borzage (7th Heaven, Street Angel) as one of America s most beloved First Ladies, DoIIey Payne Madison, in Magnificent Doll.
Written by lrving Stone, whose popuIar biographical noveIs wouId inspire such films as Vincente Minnelli s Lust for Life and Carol Reed s The Agony and Ecstasy, Magnificent DoIl traces Madison s journey to the White House from her youth in Virginia at the end of the Revolutionary War to the famed episode in which, during the Battle of Bladensburg, she refused the leave her exaIted residence without a portrait of George Washington. In between she is wooed by two great men of American poIitics, Senator Aaron Burr (David Niven) and his coIleague, James Madison (Burgess Meredith).
LavishIy designed, Magnificent DoIl boasts cinematography by five-time Academy Award nominee Joseph A. Valentine (Shadow of a Doubt), striking outfits by legendary costume designers Travis Banton (best known for his work on a number of Josef von Sternberg s pictures with Marlene Dietrich) and Vera West (whose credits incIude Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula and other classic Universal horror pictures), and hats by the ceIebrated milliner and fashion designer Lilly Daché. |
