EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the intense focus and collaboration among three key figures in the making of the 1942 British film "The First of the Few." English actor Leslie Howard, dressed in a heavy coat and scarf, is seen deep in conversation with French cinematographer Georges Perinal and English film director and screenwriter Adrian Brunel. The trio is on location, surrounded by the equipment and crew necessary to bring Howard's portrayal of RJ Mitchell, the Spitfire designer, to life. Perinal, with his camera and reels in hand, is likely discussing the intricacies of capturing the scenes on film with Brunel, who is intently listening and taking notes. The set, with its makeshift hangar and planes in the background, adds to the authenticity of the production. The image transports us back to the 1940s, a time when the world was at war and the importance of innovation and collaboration was paramount. The camaraderie between Howard, Perinal, and Brunel is palpable, and their dedication to bringing "The First of the Few" to the silver screen is evident in this compelling photograph. The photograph is part of the extensive A Flying History/The Peter Keating Aviation Photograph Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library. It offers a unique glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking during a pivotal moment in history.
