Curiozități

Devotion is a 1946 American biographical film directed by Curtis Bernhardt and starring Ida Lupino, Paul Henreid, Olivia de Havilland, and Sydney Greenstreet. Based on a story by Theodore Reeves, the film is a highly fictionalized account of the lives of the Brontë sisters. The movie features Montagu Love's last role; he died almost three years before the film's delayed release.

Production

Devotion was filmed between November 11, 1942, and mid-February 1943, but its screening was delayed until April 5, 1946, at the Strand Theater in Manhattan, due to a lawsuit by Olivia de Havilland against Warner Bros. Pictures. De Havilland successfully sued her studio to terminate her contract without providing the studio an extra six months to make up for her time on suspension. It proved a landmark case for the industry.
