Beaton Caroline Cecil Filming Paget Return Sailors Stills 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the set of "The Sailors Return," a whimsical film produced by celebrated artist and photographer Cecil Beaton at his country home, Ashcombe, in 1935. Beaton, known for his work in fashion, portraiture, and set design, turned his attention to filmmaking with this experimental project. He gathered friends and neighbors to star in the production, which was a series of short scenes inspired by the seaside and the lives of sailors. In this image, Lady Caroline Paget, a socialite and society beauty, can be seen in the foreground, her expression playful as she gazes at the camera. Behind her, a group of sailors, dressed in their uniforms and carrying props, prepare for the next scene. The sun-drenched scene exudes a sense of joy and camaraderie, reflecting the spirit of the production. The filming of "The Sailors Return" marked an exciting departure for Beaton, who was known for his work in the glamorous world of high society. The 1930s, or the "Golden Thirties," were a time of artistic and cultural flourishing, and Beaton's foray into filmmaking was a testament to the creative energy of the era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of this unique production, and serves as a reminder of the innovative and playful spirit of Cecil Beaton and his collaborators.
