The middle-aged Cooper had just completed The Story of Dr. Wassell (1944), the last film under his contract to Paramount. After appearing in Paramount films for 18 years, which had turned him into a major movie star, the tall, lanky actor had an itch to do something more than just act. Also, The Story of Dr. Wassell was the last in a string of heavy biopics and tragic dramas for Cooper, and he felt the need to star in something lighter. Casanova Brown afforded him an opportunity to satisfy both urges. Cooper also had cast approval on Casanova Brown and was particularly pleased to lure Teresa Wright from the Samuel Goldwyn Studio to play Isabel Drury. Though Casanova Brown was only her fifth film, Wright had garnered much critical acclaim for her debut performance in The Little Foxes (1941), for which she was Oscar®-nominated as Best Supporting Actress. The following year she was a double nominee, as Best Actress for The Pride of the Yankees and Best Supporting Actress for Mrs. Miniver (1942). She won the Oscar® for the latter. Wright and Cooper had costarred in The Pride of the Yankees, and the no-nonsense actor was eager to reteam with the serious actress, who eschewed the Hollywood scene to concentrate on her acting. Though Casanova Brown made some money at the box office and snagged three Oscar® nominations (art direction, sound recording, and scoring)Also listed Olivia De Havilland SIGNED, Leslie Howard, Cher Signed, Joan Fontaine SIGNED, Claude Rains, Doris Day, Julie Andrews, Mae Murray, Ramon Novarro, William Haines, Steve Reeves SIGNED & other Hollywood Items!!
