| Director of Photography Peter Falk and producer John Hipwell in front of the Grand Central Hotel, Framingham Massachusetts | ||
In the 1950's Sir Hubert worked for the Army Quartermaster's Department as a consultant on polar survival. While working there he chose to stay at the nearby Grand Central Hotel - Framingham (now known as the Old Colony Hotel), favoured for its peace and quiet rather than glamour. In Framingham we were fortunate to meet Al Greco who used to run the hotel and knew Sir Hubert well, speaking of him as a modest man. When Sir Hubert died of heart attack in the hotel in 1958 Al was the one to discover the body. His vivid memories of the morning he and the maid found Sir Hubert, beautifully dressed and perfectly positioned, laying dead beside his bed had us all enthralled. In death, Sir Hubert was as incredible as he was in life. | ||
