t \ou tiy to B.S. him, you're in trouble.<br />

had been Lorimar's choice<br />

01^ the lead, Lorimar being the film's<br />

Producer when it went before the camspring.<br />

But while the movie<br />

v^as deep into production, the strugglmg<br />

tudio was bought up by Warner Bros.,<br />

I<br />

nd the future for "Dead-Bang" seemed<br />

j mcertain. Frankenheimer admits that<br />

! le was very scared at the time, worrying<br />

bout what the new company would<br />

hink about his film and whether it<br />

/ould get released at all, but the direcor<br />

is happy to report that all seems to<br />

e working out for the best.<br />

I won't know until the film is re-<br />

3ased, but the [transition from Lorimar<br />

3 Warners] may be one of the best<br />

hings that has ever happened to me,"<br />

•I i- frankenheimer says. "There is no doubt<br />

y ihat Warner Bros, is one of the two or<br />

hree best companies in terms of releasig<br />

inovies, and Lorimar was perhaps<br />

he worst. So to go from Lorimar to<br />

\?amers is like ending up on the Yanees.<br />

And Warners really /fes this mo-<br />

;, which is terrific."<br />

One of the changes which the new<br />

istributor had been considering was a<br />

hange in the tide, although it appears<br />

ow that Warners viall stick with the disnctive,<br />

if somewhat obscure "Deadang."<br />

So for the record, what exactly<br />

oes the name mean?<br />

"'Dead-Bang' is a police term," Franenheimer<br />

reveals as he forms an imaglaty<br />

gim with his fingers and trains it<br />

n his inquisitor with an icy scowl. "It<br />

leans 'I've got you dead-bang in my<br />

ights. Right square in my sights,<br />

here's no getting away. I got you.<br />

)ead-bang'"'<br />

He pulls the trigger. But the questions<br />

STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY<br />

IN HIGH VOLUME POPPING EQUIPMENT<br />

C. Cretors and Company, innovator and world leader in popcorn equipment<br />

presents the two most highly advanced high-volume poppers made today.<br />

The Enclosed President answers customer demand for an enclosed cabinet<br />

high volume popper.<br />

E(|uipped with two activated charcoal filter systems the<br />

Enclosed President effectively removes the oil and smoke created by high volume<br />

popping.<br />

If high-volume front-line popping is your first concern, then Cretors Open<br />

Top President leads the way. It features an attractive white formica serving shelf<br />

that gets added attention for more profit potential.<br />

Both models feature a recessed corn bin with adjustable level storage and<br />

1250 watts of heating power to keep the popped corn warm. The adjustable bin<br />

greatly increases storage capacity allowing for peak sales periods.<br />

It's not just how much corn you pop, it's how well you pop it. Every Cretors<br />

President is equipped with our famous all steel kettle. Copper and then nickelplated,<br />

our steel kettles are available in<br />

either 32 oz. or 20 oz. sizes. Standard<br />

equipment includes a 7700 automatic<br />

portion control oil pump, a complete<br />

accessory kit and every Cretors President<br />

sits on locking casters enabling<br />

easy access for cleaning.<br />

Cretors President provides state of<br />

the art technology for state of the art<br />

profital)iIity in high volume popping.<br />
