Cukor eventually viewed Austin’s satire at a private party in his Hollywood home. Austin was born in Tennessee and moved to Manhattan in the mid-1940s. He was 68 years old when he succumbed Alzheimer’s disease in 1979. His films were preserved by a close friend and current Cherry Grove resident, Jack Davidson. The film’s existence was discovered by the Cherry Grove Archives Committee in 2015. A HD digital transfer of the original 16mm print was accomplished in 2016 by Video & Film Solutions • Rockville, MD.
Jerett Robert “Bob/Rabitt” Austin (1911-1979) conceived and lensed Camille over several summers in the early 1950s. It was filmed on location in Cherry Grove, Fire Island, NY and at fashion photographer’s, Otto Fenn, studio in New York City. The gossip columnist and What’s My Line celebrity panelist, Dorothy Kilgallen, noted the completion of Austin’s ‘all-male’ version in her “Voice of Broadway” column in 1953. Austin “silent movie” format parodies George Cukor’s 1936 Camille starring Robert Taylor and Greta Garbo.
