Gossip is an unfinished British independent drama film directed by Don Boyd that collapsed early in its production and was never finished.
[1][2] About a quarter of the script was shot and it is extensively archived at the Bill Douglas Centre for the History of Cinema and Popular Culture at the University of Exeter.
It began as a 1979 treatment by Frances Lynn entitled Frantic: A Story About a Gossip Columnist whose characters included a certain Romo Dolonski, a Polish film director out on bail for abducting a 12-year-old girl.
This foundation, based in Liechtenstein and led by Raymond Lanciault, had allegedly sold up their vermouth interests and wanted to diversify into films.
[1] A huge Andrew McAlpine designed night-club set was constructed at Twickenham Studios, financed by a third-party £100,000 loan while Boyd awaited the Martini money, and shooting began on 25 October 1982.
