Director: Carol Reed
Release Date: September 1948
Using the productions’ original name the Essex Newsman reported, 26 September 1947, that ‘”Lost Illusions” will star Michele Morgan, who has already completed a number of location scenes.’ The Daily Mirror, 20 October, noted recent filming at the London Zoo. On 24 October the West London Press added that ‘Belgrave Square was a happy hunting ground for autograph hunters the other day when a number of well-known film stars were on “location” there for a new film called “Lost Illusions.”‘ Oddly the report proceeds to name Ann Todd, Stewart Granger, Glynis Johns, Barry K. Barnes and wife, Diana Churchill and Richard Attenborough before noting that ‘The sequence of the film showed the star of the picture, Sir Ralph Richardson, walking slowly across the road wearing a prosaic waterproof and felt hat.’
