The Yasenfilm lecture series invites you to recall the vibrant, yet little-known film by producer Alexander Korda and director Tim Whelan, "The Divorce of Lady X," as well as its two stars, Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon.
Who is Tim Whelan and why we know so little about him, despite his extensive filmography, will be discussed by director Natalia Antropova, winner of the Russian national television award for the highest achievements in television arts, TEFI.
Guests at the lecture will learn why Laurence Olivier agreed to the atypical role of a misogynist lawyer, how the dark-skinned Bombay girl Merle Oberon, nicknamed Queenie, became the true queen of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, and how this romantic comedy was created.
