    Great pics Romy. I have this film on VHS tape, but it's a tad fuzzy and rather dark. I can't even remember if she was credited as "Maureen FitzSimons" or "Maureen O'Hara" - pretty sure it was FitzSimons. I haven't used my old tape player for so long I don't want to risk checking it.


    When she appeared on the set of "Kicking the Moon Around" aka "Million Dollar Merry-go-round" she was just brought into a scene as an impromptu thing to see how the cameras liked her (Laughton didn't arrange that one - I think her agent from the Abbey did). She wasn't given credit for that scene (she had just a few lines) until she became famous. Maureen, herself, doesn't even acknowledge the film. However, it's all part of her start in the industry.
