Interesting facts

Another Time, Another Place is a 1958 melodrama film directed by Lewis Allen and starring Lana Turner, Barry Sullivan, Glynis Johns, Sean Connery, Sidney James and Terence Longdon. The screenplay by Stanley Mann is based on Lenore Coffee's 1955 novel Weep No More.

Production

The screenplay for Another Time, Another Place was based on the 1955 Lenore Coffee novel Weep No More. Coffee said "It was about a clever woman columnist—called 'Sara Scott Says'—and they got that sexpot Lana Turner to play the lead in the movie. It stunk. It was just dreadful."

The film marked the first feature produced by actress Lana Turner's production company, Lanturn Productions, who co-produced the project with the British company Kaydor Productions Ltd.

Location filming in the fishing village in Cornwall that Lana Turner's character visits, named St Giles in the film, was carried out at Polperro. She travels by train and the station she arrives at, also called St Giles in the film, is actually Looe railway station. The final scene of the film is of her train leaving the same station, which still exists but has been much altered since the 1950s.

Additional filming took place at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

During the film's principal photography in Britain, Connery was confronted on-set by gangster Johnny Stompanato, then-boyfriend of Lana Turner, who suspected the actor was having an affair with Turner. Stompanato pointed a gun at Connery and warned him to keep away from Turner. Connery responded by grabbing the gun out of Stompanato's hand and twisting his wrist, causing him to run off the set.
