We’ll Take Manhattan
I first had the idea for We’ll Take Manhattan when I chanced on some of Bailey’s NYC 1962 photos in a magazine. They seemed so young and carefree – and then I read the story of how he risked his job to make Jean Shrimpton his model on the shoot. And that was it: click, I knew it would make a film.
Aneurin Barnard and Karen Gillan whip up a storm as Bailey and Jean – and I was lucky enough to have Helen McCrory as their bete noire, Lady Clare Rendlesham.
WTM shows on BBC4 in the UK from around 26th January, and in the US on Ovation from 3rd March
