Curiosidades

Two Loves is a 1961 American drama film directed by Charles Walters and starring Shirley MacLaine, Laurence Harvey, Jack Hawkins, and Nobu McCarthy. It was adapted from the book Spinster by Sylvia Ashton-Warner. It was entered into the 11th Berlin International Film Festival.

Production

By March 1959, MGM had purchased the rights to Sylvia Ashton-Warner's novel Spinster. Four months later, Ben Maddow was hired to write the screenplay. Ashton-Warner read the script and therefore declined to have anything to do with the film. She later commented: "Judging by the script I read, I believe [the film] would have deserved every harsh word it got. I particularly liked the critic who said it was a minor film but a major disgrace."

Sol C. Siegel, MGM's head of production, assigned Charles Walters to direct the film. By August 1960, Shirley MacLaine, Laurence Harvey, and Jack Hawkins were announced as the principal cast members, with plans to shoot on location in New Zealand by October. However, the location shoot was cancelled due to the inclement weather conditions and forecast rainy season within the Wellington Region.

Principal photography began in October 1960. During filming, Walters was forced to rearrange Harvey's shooting schedule as he was needed for Summer and Smoke (1961) by November 19. Therefore, he filmed Harvey's scenes first. Furthermore, Harvey and MacLaine did not get along on set. In her 1995 memoir, MacLaine stated she felt Harvey was "insensitive and pompous".

In November 1960, Walters told The New York Times: "This is absolutely murderous. We have got to do all our key scenes in one bunch. Every day and every moment is a climactic scene. I have never done anything like this before. I never want to do anything like this again.
