It was the year 1958 when Dénia became the mecca of cinema Hollywood. The big screen was set in the capital of the Marina Alta to turn it into the setting for one of the most mythical blockbusters that the city remembers: Captain Jones. That filming disrupted the daily life of the dianenses, who turned to the cinema, and turned a very young Mia Farrow into queen of the festivities.
The À Punt program Go pass echoed, in the chapter of this Wednesday, this story, which explained the dianense journalist Toni Reig and that you can see by clicking on the image:
According to Reig, the director of the film, John Farrow, traveled to Dénia with his seven children. Among them was the one who would later become a well-known actress, Mia Farrow. That year was the third centenary of the death of Pare Pere and the City wanted to throw the house out the window, so he invited Mia Farrow to take over that year.
The report also has the testimony of Juana María Noguera, one of the ladies of the festivities that year, who remembers how she and the rest of the girls lived the 1958 parties and how was her relationship with Mia Farrow.
