Happy World book day and enjoy your readings!

Books!

Hi everybody, at the begining of the year I purchased the two María Montez Books shown here, and I also have the biography of Tina Aumont that was published in 2019.

These books have wonderful photos of María, her family and Tina, and also have beautiful information of them.

I'm very happy to have them cause I will understand better these great big family.

@74paris told me that all Aumont, Villiers and Gracia/Montez descendants are still in touch, they really love eachother and they have a strong bond, even all their descendants are considered cousins among them, which is really beautiful keeping in mind that they are a one BIG family. In a youtube interview Dominic Fuentes said that once a year all the cousins meet so they don't lose any contact.

Although Marisa Pavan tried to separate them, love won because love was stronger, and even at her denial, Tina kept contact with her brothers Jean-Claude and Patrick and Jean-Claude helped her a lot and went with her at their father funeral.

Love always wins!

She finds success and loses her husband (IV/IV)

Correspondence of Enrico Giuffredi. Paris, April.

In trendy clubs Things said when, in spite of everything, happiness resisted, but that today take on a completely different value. Why do Tina and Christian divorce? Is Tina tired of her husband’s suffrience or is he fed up with eating eggs? Always joking, Tina had announced her firm intentions to get to work to “be able to pay a cook to Chris”. She had recently started making films after the first audition in Hollywood. But the gain must not have been enough to “pay the cook”. When two people belong to the world of cinema they tie their lives, we know how it ends up: on the strength of being one on one side, one on the other, they become more accustomed to solitude than to life in common. In the specific case of Tina a more serious fact intervened: last summer she had interrupted any activity, because she was expecting a child. She was happy and proud. “It will be a girl”, she said convinced. Instead she was rushed to a clinic in Neuilly. The little creature was born dead, Tina’s life was in danger.

Today there are those who say that Tina and Christian would never have come to talk about divorce if they had a baby. Unfortunately, immediately after this misfortune, the two were again forced to say goodbye, because Marquand left for Hollywood, called to interpret “The Flight of the Phoenix”. Tina, alone in Paris, resumed studying dance and acting under the guidance of Tania Balachowa.

Now he accuses Tina of having created the premises of divorce, refusing her loneliness, showing herself in the trendy nighttime clubs and the Palladium Bus in the company of some young man. “Tina”, is heard in Paris, “today is no longer the simple and good girl Marquand had married, she changed herself due to her little success with Vadim, the offer that came from America gave her the idea of being a star: instead she is a capricious girl posing as an adult woman”.

A judgment, this, which seems rash and unfair. Too many cone in fact have happened in these two and a half years of marriage, too many contrasting elements characterize the personality of Tina and her husband. Marquand, the square and thoughtful man, suddenly found himself the husband of a bride-child upset by the drama of lack of motherhood and loneliness, and at the same time exalted by a film career.

Scan from Spanish magazine Lecturas, 14th June 1968; caption from Italian magazine Oggi Illustrato, 5th May 1966.

She finds success and loses her husband (III/IV)

Correspondence of Enrico Giuffredi. Paris, April.

Scholarly accusations “Then,” Tina said, “we met again the following summer on the Côte d'Azur, I had already realized that Christian was not looking at me like a brat, I was happy because, secretly, I had always dreamed of being his wife one day. When we got married, on October 4, 1963, in Banon, I was seventeen and he was thirty-six. More than double.They called me the bride-child, they said I was a "case”, but I never minded, I was so happy.“

Dialogue dates back to less than a year ago, when both Tina and Christian did not foresee the short-term end of their happy union. Yet, to want to be honest, even then there were the premises of the crisis. In fact, Christian said: "I did not ask much about marriage, but I confess that I have never met a woman in the world who cooks poorly as Tina does, she even manages to mistake the hard-boiled eggs, and I am equally happy. Even if Tina plays the guitar day and night, so out of tune to drive me crazy, I have to put cotton wool in my ears.”

Christian was joking then, and smiling. And Tina’s happy smile answered, but she said: “If Chris has decided to be hateful, he will succeed. If we did not love each other, I’m sure we would hate each other, but what annoys me most about him is not his arrogance and the presumption, but the lack of cavalry and delicacy. My husband is full of flaws. I did not want to marry him, but only when I was a completely irresponsible babe and he came to see Daddy in our house in Malmaison, he had not changed at all, he had remained the same as ever and he continued to give me the pinches I think I married him just to make him understand that I was no longer a child but a real woman”.

She finds success and loses her husband (II/IV)

Correspondence of Enrico Giuffredi. Paris, April.

Stormy meeting And Christian Marquand? From the beginning he had not moved. When, a month ago, Tina left Paris for America, he remained in his apartment in rue Bassano to work on his subjects (as well as actor, Marquand is a director) and prepare new royalties. Then suddenly, confining with friends, he stressed the possibility of a separation. “Between me and Tina everything is over”, he repeated, “now it is irreparable”. Then he was seen for some time, always alone, in trendy clubs. Finally he went to Hollywood, to have a definitive explanation with his wife. The meeting must have been rather stormy if the couple decided to live each one on their own: Tina in America (she plans to attend a drama course in New York), Christian in Paris, where he came back the other day, after having been to London to greet his friend Marlon Brando.

Back in Paris, Marquand confirmed what was already known. “Divorce”, he declared without comment. Tall, athletic, cute face framed by hair that is grizzled at the temples (and make it terribly attractive for the seventeen year olds), Marquand has always been a kind of few words. Up until three years ago, when he became engaged to the very young Tina Aumont, who had just turned sixteen, no sentimental bonds had been known to him. Extraordinary, if you think that his friends were all part of that “Clan Vadim”, for which idylls, quarrels, marriages and divorces were the order of the day.

He was bewitched by his old friend’s daughter: the Marie-Christine that he, when he was already a young well-known actor, had enjoyed making dance, still in swaddling clothes, on his knees. “I have always had a great fondness for Marie-Christine,” said Christian, almost embarrassed, “but I never thought I would marry her! Do you think that every time I traveled for work, when I was shooting a film in Italy or in Africa, in Germany or in America, I always thought about her and brought her dolls as a gift. It is not the most suitable gift for my future bride! I stayed away from France for a long time in 1962, I went to rest in Mégève, and there I found Tina: a different Tina.The woman in front of me was no longer the girl to whom a doll could be given, and for that reason I left my last present in my suitcase and invited her to dance ”.

She finds success and loses her husband (I/IV)

Tina Aumont, daughter of the beautiful Maria Montez, married three years ago director Christian Marquand. Despite the age difference (she 17, he 36 years) it seemed a happy marriage. “She can not even cook two hard-boiled eggs, but I like it that way,” said the man. A disappointed motherhood and sudden luck on the screen have transformed the bride-child.

Correspondence of Enrico Giuffredi. Paris, April.

The game continues: the “Vadim clan” is once again talking about itself, with yet another divorce. This time it is Christian Marquand who splits from his young and beautiful bride, Marie-Christina Aumont, known as Tina, daughter of Jean-Pierre Aumont and Maria Montez. Christian and Tina managed to make the news of their separation coincide with the announcement of yet another reconciliation between Jean-Pierre Aumont and his last wife, Marisa Pavan.

The game continues and the “nouvelle vague” (Marquand together with Vadim has always boasted of being one of the bishops of this film revolution), in the absence of good films, offers the opportunity to gossip to worldly reporters. We are not talking about anything else in these days at the “Fouquet’s” in the Champs Elysees and “Chez Castel” in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The well-informed, or those who pose themselves to such, ensure that the divorce was long predictable. Whisper that from the beginning this union between a girl of less than twenty and a man of almost forty was voted unsuccessful. But in reality it is only a matter of late comments. Until yesterday everything seemed to be spinning in the best possible way and not a few were those who pointed out in Marquand the Pygmalion of a new star: his wife.

Instead, Tina’s true Pygmalion turned out to be Vadim. Last year, when it was a question of choosing a new group of beautiful girls able to crown Jane Fonda worthily in the film La Curée, Roger also remembered his friend’s friend’s wife, made her support the usual audition and signed her. Following this, Tina, who had already been noticed by the American producers, who had first called her to Hollywood, was invited over the Atlantic again, where she is now filming Texas Across the River alongside Alain Delon and Dean Martin.

Arabian Nights

Arabian Nights is a 1942 adventure film directed by John Rawlins and starring Jon Hall, Maria Montez, Sabu and Leif Erikson. The film is derived from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights but owes more to the imagination of Universal Pictures than the original Arabian stories. Unlike other films in the genre (The Thief of Bagdad), it features no monsters or supernatural elements.

This is the first feature film that Universal made using the three-strip Technicolor film process, although producer Walter Wanger had worked on two earlier Technicolor films for other studios: The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1936) at Paramount and the 1937 Walter Wanger's Vogues of 1938 for United Artists.

Plot (it may contain spoilers)

In ancient Persia, the young women of a royal harem read the story of Sherazade, unfolding the film's story. Sherazade, a dancer in a wandering circus, captures the attention of Kamar, the brother of the caliph, Haroun al-Rashid. Kamar's infatuation influences his attempts to seize the throne from Haroun and make Sherazade his queen. His revolt fails, and he is sentenced to slow death by exposure, but Kamar's men storm the palace and free their leader. Wounded and forced to flee, Haroun chances upon Sherazade's circus and is spotted by the young acrobat Ali Ben Ali. Aware of Haroun's identity, Ali hides him in the circus. Later, upon awakening from his injuries, Haroun beholds Sherazade and falls in love with her.

Meanwhile, Kamar assumes the throne, but Sherazade is not to be found. He orders the captain of his guard to find her, but a scheming grand vizier, Nadan, approaches the captain with the order to make Sherazade 'disappear.' After finding them, the captain sells the troupe into slavery. When the captain is found out, Nadan murders him in order to conceal his treachery. Haroun, Sherazade, and the acrobats escape the slave pens, but are found by Kamar's army and taken to a tent city in the desert. Kamar reunites with Sherazade and proposes, but she has fallen in love with Haroun instead. Nadan, recognizing the caliph, uses this knowledge to blackmail Sherazade into helping him remove Kamar from the throne, in return for safe conduct for Haroun out of the caliphate. In secret, however, he plans to have Haroun killed once he has crossed the border.

Upon learning of this insidious scheme, Ali and his fellow performers rescue Haroun, who then decides to free Sherazade with the help of the acrobats. But Haroun and the others are quickly captured, and Sherazade finally learns his true identity. Kamar engages Haroun in a swordfight, while the acrobats set fire to the tents; and the arrival of the caliph's loyal troops, summoned by Ali, triggers a massive battle. In the end, as Kamar prepares to deliver the deathstroke to Haroun, Nadan assassinates Kamar. But as he prepares to do in Haroun, Ahmad and Ali interfere, forcing him to flee. Nadan is stopped by a thrown spear and dies inside a burning tent, leaving Haroun, Sherazade, and their loyal friends to celebrate victory.
