WAY TO THE STARS

Original 9 7/8 inch x 7 3/4 inch Black and White Still of MICHAEL REDGRAVE, director ANTHONY ASQUITH, seated on the floor, director of photography DERICK WILLIAMS and continuity girl JO HARCOURT filming a scene for the 1945 Anthony Asquith Romantic Wartime Drama THE WAY TO THE STARS, story by Terence Rattigan & Anatole de Grunwald.

Taking its title from the Latin script on the Royal Air Force coat of arms – ‘Per ardua ad astra’ – its genesis lay in the RAF experiences of playwright Terence Rattigan, which he initially used in his play Flare Path. The film was originally to be titled ‘Rendezvous’.

The still is in very good condition with a synopsis tacked to the reverse.
