Romance & Cigarettes Film Set

       
  Kate Winslet in dance scene   James Gandolfini   John Turturro directs Kate Winslet  

New York, May 14 – It was after 2 A.M. Friday night when Open All Night finally left the Brooklyn waterfront where Kate Winslet, James Gandolfini and Steve Buscemi shot scenes from their upcoming musical, Romance & Cigarettes. The mood on the set was light, almost giddy, even with director John Turturro running around animatedly, as though wired on ten cups of coffee. Buscemi wore his actual helmet from the early 1980s, when he was a firefighter at Ladder 55 in Little Italy. Gandolfini, who also plays a firefighter in the film, was winded from running up and down ladders and schlepping gigantic fire hoses. “I’m going to have a heart attack keeping up with you guys”, he joked. Winslet arrived at the Red Hook set with her husband, director Sam Mendes, huddled on set in a black coat until 11:30, then disappeared and returned after 1 A.M. in a clingy red dress to shoot a dance sequence, which they wrapped in only three takes. To music from the Buena Vista Social club, she led the firemen in a conga line down the darkened street until they were out of sight. A high-spirited Gandolfini called a race, and they all sprinted back to the set.
