Name Those Stars - 1962 | The Archivist Presents | #355

It was Yul Brynner’s birthday on Friday - he’s my favourite movie star heart-throb. He features in this megastar line-up - how many do you recognise? Why not watch it without sound first and see what you score... At the Odeon, Leicester Square, what a thrill it was for film fans to see the stars arrive. They included Yul Brynner, Richard Attenborough, Cliff Richard, Pat Boone with his wife, Leslie Caron with her husband, Peter Hall, Horst Bucholz, Claudia Cardinale, Russ Tamblyn and Richard Beymer, two “West Side Story“ stars, and many more. Her Majesty the Queen, who was accompanied by Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon, graced the occasion by her presence. The Cinematograph Trade Benevolent Fund was to receive the proceeds of the event, and its president, Sir Philip Warter, escorted the Queen. Then, the presentations. Our pictures show just a few of them, Peter Sellers, Pat Boone, Claudia Cardinale, Peter Finch and Melina Mercouri. Key scene. GV entrance to Odeon. MS crowds outside. MCU Yul Brynner arrives.
