AN OLD NEWSREEL BEGINS TO PLAY. SEPIA-TONED, OVER-CRANKED SO THE FOOTAGE MOVES AT ONE AND A HALF TIMES NATURAL SPEED. CROWDS OF PEOPLE GATHER AROUND GRAUMAN’S CHINESE THEATRE. A TANGIBLE SENSE OF EXCITEMENT. VOICE-OVER: And here we are at the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard where crowds gather to wait for the thrilling premiere of the new picture from Sunset Studios, Where the Devil Takes Me. A savage romance set against the backdrop of Eastern Mongolia, it promises to be a smash hit with the public and critics alike. A LIMOUSINE PULLING UP AGAINST THE KERB, THE CROWDS JUMPING. V.O. (Cont.) And we all know why! Here they are, Hollywood’s golden couple and stars of Where the Devil Takes Me – Elizabeth Sasdy and Frank Nayland! THE COUPLE GET OUT OF THE CAR, SMILING GRACIOUSLY TO THEIR FANS. SASDY IS BLONDE, PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE CURVACEOUS THAN IS THE CURRENT PETITE FASHION. SHE IS WEARING A WHITE GOWN THAT SHIMMERS DESPITE THE DAMAGED FILM FOOTAGE. NAYLAND IS EVERY INCH THE MALE IDOL, SQUARE-JAWED, SLICKED-BACK HAIR AND A PHYSIQUE THAT FILLS OUT EVERY CORNER OF HIS IMMACULATE TUXEDO.
