Mr. & Mrs. Bridge is a 1990 American drama film based on the novels Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge by Evan S. Connell. It is directed by James Ivory, with a screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, and produced by Ismail Merchant.
Production
Joanne Woodward read Mrs. Bridge, the first of Connell's two novels, when it was published in 1959, and for many years hoped to adapt it into a television production. Originally, she did not intend to play the character of Mrs. Bridge due to the difference in age, but by the late 1980s, after developing the project proved difficult, that was no longer the case.
After a dinner at which James Ivory first met the Newmans, they decided to adapt the books into a feature-length film. After a script was finished, Paul Newman agreed to play Mr. Bridge, which brought in enough financing to shoot the film.
At an estimated $7.5 million, with $500,000 immediately earmarked on interest payments for loans, the budget was considered very modest, which granted Merchant and Ivory the freedom to make the film as they wished. The entire crew took very low salaries, while Newman and Woodward both took much lower salaries than to which they were accustomed.
With the exception of a scene in Paris and another that took advantage of an Ottawa snowfall, the film was shot entirely in Kansas City, Missouri, on the same streets that Connell would have traveled as a child and teenager. No sound stages were used, as real houses, auditoriums and office buildings were all used as the sets. The residence used as the Bridges' home is just a block west of Loose Park on W. 54th St.
Much of the film was shot out of sequence to save money; for example, when filming the law office of Mr. Bridge over a single morning, the furniture and Newman's makeup and clothes were changed every hour, as the scenes jumped through spring 1932, autumn 1938, winter 1945, and summer 1938.
