Louis de Rochemont was a film producer best
known for creating The March of Time, a series of
short subjects introducing pictorial journalism to the screen. He made several
feature movies dramatizing real life stores. He also made many educational
films. He made four movies using wide-screen Cinerama camera technology. This
collection contains production files for his numerous film projects. There are
also biographical materials, phono recordings, and scrapbooks.
Biography of Louis De RochemontLouis Clark de Rochemont was
perhaps best known as the first producer of The March of
Time. He produced numerous documentary, commercial and educational films
as well as feature films. He was an imaginative and energetic non-Hollywood
filmmaker.
De Rochemont was born in 1899 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He started
making movies when he was in high school, filming people on the streets and
selling his films to the local movie house. He joined the U.S. Navy at the
close of World War I, earned a naval commission and remained on active duty
until August, 1923. He made recruitment films for the Navy until he retired
from the Naval Reserve in 1928. In 1929, de Rochemont married Virginia Shaler
in New York City. The couple honeymooned in India and Southeast Asia where de
Rochemont worked for Fox Movietone News. He continued with Fox after returning
to New York in 1930.
In 1934 De Rochemont and Roy Larsen of Time, Inc. conceived the idea for
The March of Time, a visual news magazine.
The March of Time was awarded an Oscar in 1936. De
Rochemont made The Ramparts We Watch in 1940 as
the European war was reaching out towards the United States. Louis de
Rochemont’s brother Richard took over the reins of The
March of Time in 1943 when Louis left Time, Inc. to work as a producer
for Darryl Zanuck at Twentieth Century Fox. While there, de Rochemont produced
the Academy Award winning The Fighting Lady
(1944), the story of the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier at war;
House on 92nd St. (1945), based on an FBI
operation; 13 Rue Madeleine (1946), a story of OSS
operations in Nazi-occupied France; and Boomerang
(1947), a story of a potential miscarriage of justice.
De Rochemont left Twentieth Century Fox to form Louis de Rochemont
Associates in New York City. Within this framework, and three other related
companies, de Rochemont produced Lost Boundaries
(1949), which explored racial issues; The Whistle at
Eaton Falls (1951), showing both sides of labor/management problems;
Walk East on Beacon (1952), an anti-Communist
statement; Martin Luther (1953), a dramatic
presentation of a man who sought freedom from religious tyranny; and
Animal Farm (1955), an animated version of George
Orwell’s anti-Communist book. Following these were Cinerama Holiday (1956), which traveled with Swiss and
American couples as they visited each other’s countries; Windjammer (1959), which chronicled the voyage of a
Norwegian square-rigger; Man On a String (1960), a
drama of espionage in the U.S. and Russia; and The Roman
Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961), an adaptation of the Tennessee Williams
novel. In addition, the de Rochemont companies produced numerous commercial,
educational and public service films, including The Earth
and Its Peoples (1948) and Parlons Francais
(1960). Louis de Rochemont was involved with writing, shooting, editing, and
directing many of these films.
While most of Louis de Rochemont’s career centered in New York City, he
and his wife renovated an old family house in Newington, New Hampshire, called
Blueberry Bank. They had two children, Louis III and Virginia. In the early
1950s de Rochemont united many citizens of Newington and the Seacoast Region in
an ultimately unsuccessful battle against the construction of Pease Air Force
Base. Louis de Rochemont retired to Blueberry Bank and died there in 1978.
Scope and ContentThe collection contains production files
for both completed and uncompleted projects. The files include correspondence,
contracts, outlines and drafts, scripts, publicity, photographs, and other
materials related to production and marketing. Some projects are covered in
detail, while others contain only partial documentation. There are individual
project files for most of de Rochemont’s feature films. Short films are often
grouped by genre: commercial, educational, FBI shorts, public health, U.S.
Navy, etc.
Extended educational projects are filed by individual title. These
include Parlons Francais, which taught French to
grade school children, and The Earth and Its
Peoples, a course in geography. In the 1950s, de Rochemont’s company
contracted to develop film projects for the governments of Burma and Indonesia,
which are to be found under the names of the respective countries. Some
projects, such as those produced for New Hampshire State government or Lutheran
Film Associates, are filed by client name.
In the 1960s de Rochemont attempted to develop a number of different
projects based on World War II espionage stories. He corresponded with a number
of prominent figures including Allen Dulles, William Donovan (head of the OSS),
Gero Gaevernitz, and Christabel Bielenberg. None of these projects resulted in
completed films. However, the files offer insight into war-time undercover
operations. These materials are grouped under the heading Spy Stories.
In addition, there is biographical information including correspondence,
photographs, newspaper clippings, and scrapbooks. Information on de Rochemont’s
Navy career includes photographs of the rescue by the U.S. Navy of survivors
from a burning French hospital transport off Constantinople in 1922. A number
of photographs chronicle Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean in the 1920s and
India and Southeast Asia in 1930. There are many files covering de Rochemont’s
opposition to the creation of Pease Air Base in New Hampshire. Also included
are some recordings and sheet music of compositions by de Rochemont or
connected to his films.
