A bearded Cohen, wearing a light-coloured utility jacket, is smiling as he chats with Breen. While there are few images of Norman Cohen in the archive, his fingerprints stretch into the archive via the producer Greg Smith, the actors James Mason, Lynda Bellingham, Linda Hayden, and Pamela Stephenson – all of whom were in Cork during the early 1970s. Norman Cohen’s legacy is tied up with a series of risqué X-certificate rated comedies that he worked on such as Confessions of a Pop Performer (1975) and Confessions from a Holiday Camp (1977) starring Bellingham and Hayden both of whom are in the archive. He also produced and directed The London Nobody Knows (1967) with James Mason, Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (1973) and Stand up, Virgin Soldiers (1977), based on the book by Leslie Thomas, and starring Bellingham and Stephenson. Around the time of this picture he had directed Dad’s Army in 1971 based on the popular BBC sitcom of the same name. Cohen's production of Brendan Behan’s Dublin (1966), sometimes misattributed to the BBC, was made by his production company Norcon with the producer Greg Smith – who produced many of his pictures. Written by the Irish director, actor and writer Carolyn Swift, the twenty-nine minute film was narrated by Ray McAnally as Behan, and the soundtrack was supplied by The Dubliners. It was first shown at the Cork Film Festival in September 1966 supporting the MGM film Woman Without a Face (also known as Mister Buddwing) (Delbert Mann, 1966), starring Jean Simmons and James Garner. Cohen died of a heart attack, in 1983, in Van Nuys, California. (Irish Times letter: Carolyn Swift, Brendan Behan’s Dublin, irishtimes.com, 15.05.1999.)

She has a mischievous grin on her face and little else except bath bubbles to dress her. The location of the bath is not identified but as the photo is credited to the Cork-based photographer Donal Sheehan we guess that the bathroom must be Cork-based too. The white-tiled bathroom, with a white transistor radio perched on the ledge of the bath, provides the perfect backdrop to the olive-toned skin of a glowing Bellingham. Born in 1948 and adopted later that year, Lynda Bellingham was an English actor, broadcaster, and author who was a familiar presence on British television, in particular for her work as a lunchtime chat show host on ‘Loose Women’ between 2007 and 2011, with whom she made more than 300 appearances. She also had a long-standing television career with such shows as All Creatures Great and Small and Doctor Who, as well as film credits that include Confessions of a Driving Instructor (Claire Brough, 1976) and Stand up, Virgin Soldiers (Norman Cohen, 1977) which would have coincided with her visit to the festival in the late seventies. Bellingham was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2013 for her services to charity work. She published her autobiography There’s Something I’m Dying to Tell You in 2014, shortly before her death from cancer later that year, at the age of 66.

Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of the English film producer Greg Smith in conversation with the Irish producer Noel Pearson and Ciara Scott. Given the background décor of Harp Lager-sponsored umbrellas, we might guess that this picture was taken at the festival club. Greg Smith, in a light-coloured jacket on the far right, has his back turned to us as he chats with his companions. While the identity of Pearson and Scott (whose name cannot be verified) (perhaps Ciarín Scott?) is noted with a question mark at the back of the photo, this is probably the Dublin-born film and theatrical producer Noel Pearson who worked on the Academy award-winning My Left Foot (Jim Sheridan, 1989) starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker, and Cyril Cusack. Pearson also produced The Field (Jim Sheridan, 1990) starring Richard Harris, and Dancing at Lughnasa (Pat O’Connor, 1998) with Meryl Streep, Kathy Burke, and Michael Gambon. He originally managed the Dubliners before moving into theatre and becoming the artistic director of the Abbey Theatre where he staged Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa, before adapting it to film in 1998. His production company, Ferndale Productions, also produced The Secret Scripture (Jim Sheridan, 2016), based on the novel by Sebastian Barry, and starring Rooney Mara and Vanessa Redgrave. The film producer Greg Smith was behind a series of X-rated successful movies during the 1970s including Confessions of a Window Cleaner (Val Guest, 1974), Confessions of a Pop Performer (Norman Cohen, 1975), Confessions of a Driving Instructor (Claire Brough, 1976), and Confessions from a Holiday Camp (Norman Cohen, 1977). His collaborations with the Irish director Norman Cohen also include Spike Milligan’s war memoirs: Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (Norman Cohen, 1973) and Stand up, Virgin Soldiers (Norman Cohen, 1977) starring his then-wife Lynda Bellingham and Pamela Stephenson, both of whom are in the archive. (This photo is dated 1960 but we might guess that it is closer to the 1970s given other images of him in the archive.)

The photo identifies the producer Greg Smith, William (Bill) Harpur, former film censor Sheamus Smith, Sheila Hampson, and Hillary O’Herlihy, the wife of Bill O’Herlihy. They are standing together, drink in hand, some smiling for the camera. Sheamus Smith, wearing his distinctive glasses, stands on the left. Smith started working as a cameraman at the newly formed Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) in 1961 before becoming a producer and director with the station in 1963. The following decade he was appointed managing director of Ardmore Film Studios in 1975 and was instrumental in setting up the Irish Film Board. Most notably he was appointed Irish film censor and would go on to become Ireland's longest-serving film censor in the history of the State (1986-2002). He published his memoir Off Screen (Gill and MacMillan) in 2007. The producer Greg Smith (1939-2009), in a light-coloured jacket, stands on the far right of the photo. Smith owned a talent agency in London where he signed on the Irish film-maker Norman Cohen with whom turned a series of risqué best-selling paperback books, by Christopher Wood, into a successful run of ‘confessions’ movies including Confessions of a Pop Performer (Norman Cohen, 1975), Confessions of a Driving Instructor (Claire Brough, 1976), and Confessions from a Holiday Camp (Norman Cohen, 1977). He went on to produce Stand up, Virgin Soldiers (Norman Cohen, 1977), starring his then-wife Lynda Bellingham who was also at the Cork Film Festival. Hillary O’Herlihy was married to the Cork-born, Glasheen-raised, RTÉ television broadcaster, and Irish Film Board Chairman Bill O’Herlihy. O’Herlihy (1938-2015) was a household name best known for his sports coverage, along with co-presenters Eamon Dunphy and John Giles, on programmes such as Sunday Sport and Sports Stadium and in his time presented 10 FIFA World Cups and 10 Summer Olympic Games. He was a keen cinephile and brought this to his work at the Irish Film Board. O’Herlihy promoted the film industry and in particular, was keen to develop filming in rural Ireland. He also worked for some time as PR for the Cork Film Festival where he emphasised the focus on Irish film.

Breen and Bellingham are facing the camera smiling, while Nicholas and Smith are in mid-conversation half-turned towards each other. The convivial group are at a drinks reception in London for the film festival.

Born in London, Smith worked in theatre as a young boy before establishing a talent agency in London where he signed on the Irish filmmaker Cohen. With the relaxation of censorship laws in the UK, Smith and Cohen turned a series of risqué best-selling paperback books, by Christopher Wood, into a successful run of Confessions movies. Smith went on to produce Stand up, Virgin Soldiers, starring his then-wife Lynda Bellingham who worked in many of his movies during this era.
