CURTIS, ALAN
Roles: Conte di Pisa in Henry and Police Chief in Abroad
Born in Coulsdon, Surrey, in 1930, Alan Curtis left school and immediately entered the business at the Croydon Grand, appearing as a village boy in Great Day. Apart from a brief spell working for Anglo-American Oil, he’s remained in the industry ever since. In 1947, he secured his first break with a repertory company in Gloucester, helping construct the sets, followed by a six-month spell with a small film company in Reigate, making short, animated religious films.
In 1948 he mixed acting with work behind the scenes, including a stint at Colwyn Bay, and by the mid-1950s was appearing on the screen. His film credits include Die Screaming, Marianne, Four Dimensions of Greta, The Flesh and Blood Show, Tiffany Jones and The Vision, while on television he’s been seen in, among others, The Saint, Paul Temple, Whoops Baghdad!, Last of the Summer Wine, The Corridor People, Crossroads and Duty Free. His busy stage career, meanwhile, has seen him make just under a thousand appearances at the London Palladium.
In 1995 he suffered a stroke which restricted work opportunities for a while but has since returned to acting and, in 2003, was seen in the popular drama, Footballers’ Wives.
CUSTOMS OFFICER
Played by David Hart
Searches Emmannuelle Prevert’s baggage in Emmannuelle when she first arrives in the UK, paying particular attention to her underwear. (Note: the scene was cut from the film.)
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
When Emmannuelle first arrives in the UK she gets more than she bargained for at the Customs desk, and in an earlier draft of the script, a female customs officer was involved, too.
INT. CUSTOMS BAGGAGE AREA, AIRPORT – DAY
Emmannuelle is standing at a Customs bench watching a large, brutish, sarcastic Customs officer go through the contents of her two big suitcases. He pulls out some of her frilly underthings and feels them suggestively, grinning at her, daring her to complain.
EMMANNUELLE: You won’t find anything in there.
CUSTOMS OFFICER: Pity. (Laughs like a hyena at his own cleverness.)
(The CUSTOMS OFFICER, still rifling through the suitcase, focuses his gaze on the front of EMMANNUELLE’s wrap-around dress.)
EMMANNUELLE: (With a challenge.) Nor in there.
(Theodore, wheeling his luggage by on a trolley, unhampered by a customs inspection, stops behind Emmannuelle. He clears his throat to attract her attention. Emmannuelle turns, gives Theodore just a cursory glance, then turns back to the Customs officer.)
(Theodore looks hurt, hesitates, then wheels his trolley towards the exit.)
CUSTOMS OFFICER: Ever been caught smugglin’ have you, darlin’?
EMMANNUELLE: I have nothing to declare and nothing to hide!
CUSTOMS OFFICER: (Still gaping at her.) That so?
(The Customs officer turns and gives a silent signal to a woman Customs official, who starts to walk towards them.)
INT. CUSTOMS INSPECTION ROOM, AIRPORT – DAY
(The uniformed woman Customs official is alone with Emmannuelle. The room is very small and as bare as a betting shop.)
CUSTOMS OFFICER: I have to ask you to remove all your clothing, if you don’t mind.
EMMANNUELLE: What for?
CUSTOMS OFFICER: We have reason to suspect you may be secreting something on your person.
EMMANNUELLE: What – something?
CUSTOMS OFFICER: That’s what we’re going to find out!
EMMANNUELLE: (Indignantly.) I am not a smooggler!
CUSTOMS OFFICER: Then you have nothing to worry about, do you?
(Emmannuelle’s mood switches from indignation to cunning. She stares at the Custom official’s body.)
EMMANNUELLE: I will, if you will.
CUSTOMS OFFICER: What?
EMMANNUELLE: I said – I will, if you will.
CUSTOMS OFFICER: (Trying to take her eyes off EMMANNUELLE’s body.) That’s not in the regulations.
EMMANNUELLE: Who cares about regulations?
INT. OUTSIDE CUSTOMS INSPECTION ROOM, AIRPORT – DAY
(The large brutish Customs officer is covertly peeping through the knothole in the wall. His expression is incredulous.)
INT. CUSTOMS INSPECTION ROOM, AIRPORT – DAY
(From Customs officer’s P.O.V. through knothole: Emmannuelle is undressed for inspection. So is the woman Customs official.)
CUTTING, SIR BERNARD
Played by Kenneth Williams
A top surgeon at Finisham Maternity Hospital in Matron, Sir Bernard spends most of his time worrying about his own ailments. A hypochondriac who one minute thinks he’s got Asian flu, the next believes he’s changing sex. Respected by many of his peers as well as those reporting to him, including Matron, whose feelings for Cutting go far beyond the line of duty. She’s smitten with Cutting but the feeling isn’t reciprocated, that is until Dr Goode convinces him that his worries regarding changing sex are due to an urgent desire to prove his masculinity. From that moment, Cutting tries to develop a relationship with Matron, ending in the sound of wedding bells.
CYNICAL LADY
Played by Joan Benham
Seen in Emmannuelle sitting at Emile Prevert’s dining-table, the Cynical Lady is a guest of the French Ambassador.
CYRIL
The cameraman who arrives at the Palace Hotel with Cecil Gaybody and the rest of the team working on the television programme, Women’s Things. Seen but not heard in Girls.
