Stand By to Shoot: 1: Falling Star

View in Radio Times

A serial play in six episodes by Donald Wilson.
[Starring] Betty Paul
The scene is a film studio where the work on hand is called "The Patriot" starring Yvonne Jouvert, a charming and highly professional actress, and Stirling Carr, less charming and less professional. Carr is in fact a rather considerable cad and a trial to Jamieson White, the director, Clive Dunstan, once a star himself, Ruth Andrews, the continuity girl, and Pete Marshall, the assistant director. Amid the chaos - organised, perhaps, but bewildering nevertheless - on the set, anything can happen, and something sensational does.
