PICTURE
THE PRODUCT TREND
business is continuing the
upward trend that took rather firm
hold a couple of seasons ago. This is
clearly noted in the record of product
performance at the boxoffice and from
the standpoint of product supply during
the 1966-67 season and from other indicators
on both counts in the new season
that began last September. These facts
and figures are graphically set forth in
the Boxoffice Barometer Edition which
accompanies this issue.
The highlights relating to boxoffice
performance are brought out in the
grossing reports that, in the past season,
exceeded the marks scored the year before.
As for example, top grossing figures
have set new highs with 13 scoring above
the 300 per cent mark, as compared to
only five attaining that distinction in the
1965-66 season.
For several years past, the grossing reports
have included pre-release runs.
This year, however, they are separately
listed, thus showing how the first quarter
of the new season started out, which is
very good. It is significant that of the 41
feature releases, in September through
November 1967, 35 scored in the hit class
(120 per cent or more), compared to 31
in the first quarter of 1966.
Another barometer of the attraction
value of last season's product is the number
that scored above the 250 per cent
mark—24 in that bracket—as compared
to 13 in the previous season. This attests
to the quality and audience appeal of the
1966-67 product supply.
It is noteworthy that a substantial portion
of the current and forthcoming
product is being derived from overseas
studios. This has been a growing trend,
as a result of co-production arrangements
in which American companies collaborate
with British, French, Spanish
and other producers. Not only has this
applied to foreign-language films, an increasing
number of which have been dubbed
into English, but it has been especially
noteworthy in the output of films
bearing the "Made-in-Britain" label that
have largely been financed by Americar
producing companies.
While some look askance at this socalled
"runaway" production, it has added
to the supply of quality attractions
and led to the discovery of new stars that
American producers have developed by
giving them wider exposure. This has
increased their boxoffice pull and served
to add to the product output.
The past year witnessed another growing
trend—the influx of independent
producers and distribution outlets. This
has eased the tight film market and
made available a substantial quantity of
varying types of product, some of which
fall into the so-called "exploitation" classification
and were money-makers. The
Looking Ahead section of Barometer
lists the productions scheduled by the
various major and independent product
sources for the ensuing season. While all
of the films listed may not be completed
in time for release in the 1967-68 season,
the total output is indicated to be about
25 per cent higher than obtained at this
same time a year ago. And, too, the outlook
is considerably heightened by the
implementation of production by several
new major filmmaking entities.
We take pride in presenting this 31st
edition of Boxoffice Barometer. Like its
predecessors, it does a thorough job of
telling the product stoiy of the season
past, as well as giving up-to-the-minute
data on forthcoming releases. The past
year's product provides exhibitors with
a basic means for evaluating unplayed
pictures and for re-evaluating some that
they previously overlooked or passed up.
Or, they may find, in going over the facts
and figures, a number of pictures to
which time has added new values, perhaps
making them worthy of repeat
bookings. Tliis compendium of motion
picture product is filled to the brim with
information designed to be of everyday
practical use value for every type of theatre
operation.

LONDON CITE THREAT
OF NEW CENSORSHIP PROBLEMS
RIFKIN.
—
By H. i-. RHVhS
[DETROIT "Censorship is going to be a
growing problem in the form of classification.
The Supreme Court cannot thwart the
uill of the people. The people have shown
ihcy want some form of responsible control,"
was Michigan NATO president Milton London's
introduction of the major topic of the
business session. "In some cases, trouble is
brought on by exhibitors themselves. One
exhibitor showed trailers on "Valley of thv-
Dolls' at children's matinees. When parents
came to protest, he stood upon the right of
theatres to show anything lhc\ u anted to."
said London.
Plan to Fight Back
"Some proposals have attempted to define
obscenity, to set up classifications and set up
standards," said Michigan NATO counsel
David Newman. These are originating with
county supervisors and other local authorities.
"They are especially concerned with
drive-in theatres and the fact that images
are viewed by people outside them. So they
feel they should be especially careful," he
said. "L personally, feel they have set up
standards of what is obscenity a little too
strictly, and in excess of what is permitted
by the U.S. Supreme Court. We know how
far these local people can go and we intend
to challenge them right up to Supreme Court
of Michigan, if they pursue this course for
some political reason." Newman cited the
Dallas ordinance now before the U.S. Supreme
Court.
NATO president Julian Rifkin discussed
doubt by birth or baptismal certificate, etc.
"Imagine a lineup waiting for this process
at
a drive-in."
Public Not Well Informed
Thus, the exhibitor must classify film himself:
if he doesn't assign age classification,
a board of qualified exp-erts may require
screening 25 days before exhibition. But
"we don't even know what pictures we will
be playing that far ahead. Legislators don't
have the slightest conception what your
problems are. In Rhode Island, they would
not even believe that we are operating under
consent decree, and the U.S. government is
controlling how we buy film.
"The public does not yet realize that we
have become an art form and are now in a
different league," Rifkin said. " 'Bonnie and
Clyde' would certainly have been one of the
classified pictures. These award-winning
films are the ones children should see." He
disclosed objections to Academy Awards, because
iheie ,irc no chjidren on the selccliim
jury.
"^ou ha\e to tight this because it would
be ruination of your industry. If the Supreme
Court docs not knock it out, you are
going to see an onrush of legislation as never
before. Be prepared for it. But don't try to
do it on your own. This is a job for experts,
like Barbara Scott of the Motion Picture
Ass'n of America, "Rifkin said.
"Pictures which have been banned for
theatres, such as The Apartment,' and 'La
Dolce Vita' have been shown on television.
This is discrimination and we believe this
going to be run for those of us who are
50-plus or for those who constitute 70
per cent of the people? Ministers and teachers
who are working with young people understand
these problems. We have responsibility
as exhibitors to let people know what
they are going to see—but responsibility
ends at boxoffice," concluded Rifkin.
Discuss Local Ordinances
Jack Locks, Grand Rapids circuit operator
and NATO vice-president, discussed the
"Kentwood case" of suburban ordinance, especially
affecting drive-ins. "I visualize that
if this stands in Kentwood, and a picture
suggesting it for study. Smith has not had a
single complaint in two decades, he said.
Locks outlined a further critical problem
— ""If you operate under an ordinance that
blocks out 30 per cent of your product and
your competitor doesn't, wouldn't you want
a similar ordinance in his community? If
we start limiting what can be put on screens,
and in books, God help us. But there must
be a responsibility."
President London outlined the lengthy
battle against Daylight Saving Time, noting
the referendum to continue or abolish it
will
go on ballot in November. "We hope the almost
unanimous vote in the Arizona legislature
will encourage other states to go on
standard time," he said.
London gave hitherto undisclosed details
of the D.ST campaign. NATO sought a bill
to keep Michigan on standard time until the
referendum, but Attorney General Frank
Kelley ruled the proposal illegal. NATO
persisted and Kcllev
reversed the ruling.
Bipartisan support was enlisted but, said
London, "we began to sense that leaders
were very leary of raising the issue this year.
So the decision was not to force a fight for
this only temporary gain at this time. It was
pointed out at Lansing that we were too
complacent about winning the referendum
in the fall." London warned, ""knowledgeable
legislators told us DST will go over
overwhelmingly."
Smith reported that he and Newman met
with Secretary of State James Hare last week
and received assurance the referendum
discrimination against us will be important proposition will be in proper form and not
in court," he added.
"There is a hard core group of malcontents
who have not kept pace with the times.

minimum wage controls, although minimums
will doubtlessly be raised. Newman
reported progress of negotiations with labor
unions, saying, '"Our labor problems are
local, but we hope they will set a pattern
for the rest of the state. We are in the throes
of negotiations. We have, fortunately, had
the support of the exhibitors of the state,
and I think we have an agreement we can
live with."
The enabling act
for local admission taxes
""was and remains a very definite threat,"
London warned. "But when federal admission
taxes were taken off in 1964, we had
foresight to go to the legislature and work
out a bill, which was passed, reserving all

NATO Urges Exhibitors Campaign
For Repeal of Film Rental Taxes
NEW YORK—The National Ass'n of
Theatre Owners last week urged exhibitors
throughout the nation to work for repeal of
state film rental taxes, commonly known as
a use tax on tangible personal property and
varying from I'i per cent to 3'/2 per cent.
In New York City, it is 5 per cent.
"This tax is not absorbed by the distributors
and the exhibitor is liable to suffer
severe penalties for non-compliance imposed
by the statutes." NATO warned. "In
some states, a person liable for such a use
tax is required to deposit a sum equal to
double the amount of the average tax paid
during a particular preceding quarter and
in other states, government securities are
required to be deposited, which can be sold
if the tax is not paid when due. plus interest
and penalties.
Decisions in Other States
NATO reviewed administrative decisions
of recent years in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia
and New Mexico in which taxes on film
rentals "were declared null and void on the
legal ground that the rental or leasing of
films was not considered to be tangible
personal property and the exhibitor was
exempt from filing and paying the tax pursuant
to the statutes."
In all four cases opinions filed by the
attorney generals with the tax commissioners
indicated that a tax on film rentals was not
a tax on personal tangible property leased or
rented and these opinions, NATO said, "had
the same force and effect as if they had been
repealed by the various legislatures, or until
otherwise adjudicated by the courts."
NATO pointed out that the tax was eliminated
in its entirety and exhibitors were entitled
to recover substantial refunds for taxes
already paid.
"In the interests of eliminating this burdensome
tax," the exhibitor organization
continued, "it is incumbent on the presidents
and officers of every regional unit of NATO
where such a film statute has been enacted
to first obtain a copy of the act which was
used to levy these taxes and send such act
to Philip Harling. general counsel of NATO.
He will make a study of these statutes, and,
with the full cooperation of the national
picture association, advise you how to prepare
this matter for presentation to the
proper officials for full tax relief.
Distributors to
Cooperate
"This is an important mailer involving
large sums of money and one where distribution
will aid materially in relieving exhibition
of these additional charges on their
already heavy overhead. It is to be expected
that the tax laws of the slates having such
conditions will vary." NATO concluded,
"but the same general principles would seem
to apply as they did in Illinois. Indiana.
Virginia. New Mexico and Washington and
wherever else a film rental tax is involved."

AIP Budgets $5,000,000
For Two Major Features
HOI.l-YWOOl)—American
International
Pictures executives James H. Nicholson and
Samuel Z. Arkoff annoimceil that back-toback
production on two major feature films
will be launched by AIP in June. The two
films, "The Marquis de Sade" and its sequel.
"Justine." will be made on an approximate
budget of $5,000,000.
Since announcement of the scheduled
"Marquis de Sade" property, Richard
Matheson has turned in his finished screen
treatment. "Justine" is based on the novel
of that title by the Marquis de Sade. Both
films will be in color and scope.
Considerable interest in the original
Marquis de Sade filming plans has been
shown by foreign production companies,
and Arkoff and Nicholson indicated that
both films would no doubt be co-produced
with these companies. Arkoff left for
Europe on the weekend to complete AIP
co-production deals and to conclude location
arrangements for both films.
First of the pair of dramas to roll in
Europe. "The Marquis de Sade," calls for
the construction of large and durable settings
which will also be utilized for the
filming of "Justine." A major goal in the
economic saving realized on the dual-purpose
sets will be the achievement of more
elaborate production values for the two
films, it was indicated by the AIP chiefs.

UA 1967 Net Earnings
Highest in History
NIW '>()RK— In a report issued to
stockholders last week it was announced that
United Artists' net earnings in 1967 were
the highest in the company's history, totaling
$15,308,000 as compared with $13,-
616,000 in 1966.
Earnings before taxes on income for 1967
hit $30,287,000 as compared with $25,946.-
000 for 1966. Net per share earnings totaled
$3.22 for 1967 as against $2.87 in 1966.
Gross income was $197,765,000 for 1966.
UA paid cash dividends of $1.25 per share
in 1967 as against 75 cents in 1966,
Transamerica acquired substantially all
of the outstanding capital stock of UA in the
spring of 1967 and the company at that time
stopped issuing regular quarterly reports.
UA will now release figures only on a yearly
basis. There arc some 93,874 UA shares
that have not been converted into Transamerica
stock and are still outstanding.
The UA report notes that license agreement
with NBC for network television showings
of 94 films, some of them second runs,
over the next decade, with license fees, payable
over a period of years, will total $115,-
000,000 subject to participations.
Television contracts for film series produced
for television have been included in
income only as billings are made, with unbilled
portion of contracts at the end of
1967 amounting to approximately $6,486,-
000 of which $4,374,000 pertains to joint
ventures and other non-owned films. Major
portion of this amount will be billed and
taken into income in 1968, though offset in
part by related costs and expenses.

Strong Exhibitor Drive Helps Defeat
Daylight Saving Time in
PHOHNIX— Daylighl Saving Time was
handed an overwhelming defeat in Arizona
when the House of Representatives voted
49-IO-1 and the Senate voted 25-to-3 to return
the state to standard time in 1968 and
in future years.
Immediately after passage of the bill.
Gov. Jack Williams telephoned B. V. Sturdivant.
president of the National Ass'n of
Theatre Owners of Arizona, that he would
sign the bill, "possibly with a ceremony"
Sturdivani also serves on the governor's advisor}
board.
Hugh I.. Downs. Tucson exhibitor who
has chaired the standard time committee for
more than a year, has devoted full time to
the campaign for the past two months. He
expressed the opinion that votes cast by
legislators approximated the same ratio of
voles of the people in
polls taken across the
state.
"Our most difficult battle in the home
stretch." said Sturdivant. "was propaganda
to the effect that Arizona would he an island
of standard time with other states over the
nation using daylight saving."
Sturdivant praised highly the cooperation
which NATO of Arizona received from
Milton H. London, executive director of
the National Ass'n of Theatre Owners, headquartered
in Detroit, during the campaign.
Also serving on the standard-time committee
with Downs were Otto A. Kammer.

Indiana NATO Seeks to Enjoin
Enforcing Uniform Time Act
W ASlllNCION - Kich.ird T. I ochry.
president ol National Ass'n of Theatre Owners
of Indiana, announced hero March 20
that the Indiana organization and individual
exhibitors are filing suit seeking an injunction
to prevent enforcement of the Uniform
Time Act of 1966 in Indiana on April 28.
Indiana last year was granted a deferment
of enforcement of the act by the Department
of Transportation until a state of Indiana
petition pending before the department
could be acted upon. This petition would
place the entire state in one time zone. At
present. Indiana is in a divided time i^one
with half the state on Ea.stern .Standard Time
and the other half on central time.
In announcing the plans to file suit,
I.ochry said that arbitrary lifting of the
stale's deferment without final action on the
petition requires the citizens of Indiana to
"accept an intolerable time situation where
part of the state must move clocks ahead
one hour to two hours ahead of sun time
and one hour faster than ever before observed
in the state."
"There is no reason," Lochry said, "to justify
this capricious treatment of Indiana citizens."
Lochry also said that he believed undue
pressures arc being brought to bear from
a handful of executives in Indiana with eastern
home offices and network radio and TV'
stations, as well as others.
Arizona
He asserted, "It is evident from our examination
of the thousands of documents already
received in the Department from Indiana
that a majority of Indiana citizens do
not want eastern double daylight time. Further,
we are reliably informed that the movement
to place Indiana on eastern double
daylight time six months out of the year
is the first part of a plan to place Indiana
year-round on Eastern Daylight Time along
with all other states in the union. It is our
opinion that the network radio and television
interests have misled the public through
failure to disclose all of the facts involved,
namely that under the Uniform Time Act
they will have to observe daylight time six
months a year and cannot have Eastern
Standard Time 12 months a year anymore."

Computicket Cusfomized Sales System Iftxia vice-p^sfdlnts
Demonstrated to Hollywood Press
By SYD CASSYD
LOS ANGELES — Instant sales and
printing of admission tickets to theatrical
and sports events by the Computicket allcomputer,
customized ticket sales system
was demonstrated to the press March 25
by Nick Mayo, vice-president and director
of marketing, Computicket Corp.. a subsidiary
of Computer Sciences Corp. The
system, which has cost $1,800,000 to develop
during two and a half years, uses a
central computer and specially designed
electronic terminal devices in a network
of outlets.
Robert D. Beals Nick Mayo
The service already is used here by the
Music Center Operating Co., operators of
the Hollywood Bowl, the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion, the Ahmanson Theatre and the
Mark Taper Forum. Outlets include the 55
Ralph Markets, the six-store Music City
Wallichs chain, and the eight Bullock's department
stores. Mayo said these outlets
represent almost half of the total which will
be sold in this area, with the goal set at
about 150 terminals for a city of this size.
.After installation here, he added, the Computicket
system will be introduced in New
York,
where Tyson-Sullivan Ticket Service,
Inc., has contracted for Computicket terminals
in its 15 outlets. West Coast operation
starts here July I on a large scale.
Application for Theatres
Mayo stated that the Computicket system
has an application for motion picture theatres,
also. This includes not only hardticket
sales but tickets for regular shows in
any theatre. The possibility of downtown
theatres getting a big boost was also pointed
out by Mayo, when he noted that patrons
far from town, who wish to attend a regular
showing, can buy in advance tickets imprinted
with the time of the showing, which
precludes their having to wait in line.
Because all necessary seating and coding
information has been programed in advance
onto a central IBM 360/40 computer, the
response to an inquiry fmm a remote ticketselling
terminal in an outlet is almost instantaneous.
Mayo explained. Operators are
trained by network consultants of Computicket
Corp. And the system's silent display
response feature is about 60 times faster
than teletype, he added.
On the hard ticket sale, the information
response from the central computer provides
answers, as requested, on best asailable seats
(with or without price), general area location,
specific location, authorized discounted
tickets, discount sale adjacent to full-price
seat for a child and parent, aisle seats, season
tickets (with any of these requirements),
complimentary or press tickets, group sales
at the boxoffice and other information as
needed.
Security of information for management
was also demonstrated by Mayo, who
showed that a special key and a code can
be used only by the manager. An instantaneous
daily report of boxoffice receipts is possible.
Additionally, because each sale is entered
with all information, the date of the
attendance, and the cash received, major
bo.xoffice information on how the sales
are going for any one day, or for types of
seats and price classifications which are
selling, can be determined almost instantly.
How Computicket Works
Actual working of the machines which
were demonstrated is this: A ticket buyer
approaches one of the Computicket "boxoltices"
in his neighborhood and gives his
ticket
requirements to the operator. The operator
immediately enters them on the network
ticket terminal by punching buttons on
its typewriter-like keyboard. As the requirements
are being displayed on the terminal's
scope, they are verified. The operator then
punches a button for transmission of the
necessary signal to the central computer.
The central computer contains all seating
inlormalion for numerous events or for individual
theatres. It searches its memory
bank for the matching seat information. The
customer, for example, may ask for the best
available seats; he may wish to specify a
general area: or he may ask for seats by
section, row and number. In every case, the
computer answers the question according to
the customer's precise requirements.
When the customer accepts the information
provided, the terminal operator signals

the computer to print the tickets. Instantly
—and the writer saw eight tickets printed in
20 seconds—the printing mechanism reacts
by printing and color coding the actual admission
tickets on the spot. It then removes
these from the in\entor> of tickets in the
system, so that they cannot be sold to anyone
else. The information is transmitted in
"milliseconds."
In the event a ticket has to be refunded,
this, too, can be handled by the terminal
at the remote "boxoffice" without any problem.
Other cities which will soon have the
system, said Mayo, are Chicago, San Francisco,
Houston and Detroit, and eventually
it will include a national network.

NCOMP Explains Rating
For 'Mulberry Bush'
NEW YORK -The National Catholic
Office for Motion Pictures, in a general
press notice sent to trade publications last
week, saw fit to detail more fully than is
customary the reasons behind the "C" rating
given to the Kopert release. "Here We
Go Round the Mulberry Bush." NCOMP
it said that wished "to indicate that certain
unusual circumstances" surrounded the
American release of the British import,
which prompted "a fuller explanation of the
office's decision to issue a 'C rating."
The office objected to the filnVs " "export"
version for the American market . . .
marred by the unnecessary introduction of
offensive elements, notably a pr^ilongcd
nude sequence." The "'unusual circumstances"
were stated as follows:
"There appears no compelling reason,
artistic or otherwise for UA to have found
it necessary to release in the American
market an offensive substitute-version of
""Mulberry Bush" when the original British
version, devoid of these offensive elements
in
treatment, had already received generally
excellent reviews from the critically demanding
English press."
The NCOMP statement, moreover,
added: ""The British version, which is legally
limited to adult patronage in England,
would hardly have been denied a seal of
approval by the production code authority
of the Motion Picture Ass'n of America
at least as a "Suggested for Mature Audiences'
film: as it is. UA. a member of
MPAA, has ignored its commitment to its
own code of self-regulation and has released
this "export' version, without the code
seal, through its 'art' subsidiary. Lopert.
NCOMP finds it difficult to understand
how this action can contribute to public
confidence in the organized film industry's
protestations of responsible self-regulation."
Paramount TV Licenses
Film to 4 CBS Stations
NEW YORK — A
multimillion-dollar
film licensing sale has been completed between
Paramount Television and four of
the five CBS-owned television stations, it
was announced last week by John T.
Reynolds, president of the television arm of
Paramount Pictures.
The contract, the first major one executed
by CBS in more than three years, includes
films from Paramount's Portfolio I and II.
Robert M. Newgard, vice-president and general
sales manager for Paramount Television,
negotiated the deal.
Under terms of the agreement, WCAU-
TV in Philadelphia and KMOX-TV in St.
Louis will get Portfolio I. Additionally,
Portfolio II features will be licensed to
WCBS in New York, WBBM in Chicago and
the Philadelphia and St. Louis stations.
Included in the deal are such films as
"Hud," ""Love With the Proper Stranger,"
'"Shane, ""Sunset Boulevard" and "The
Matchmaker," all of which have been
shown on prime-time network movie nights.

New Chicago Censor
Law Starts Apr. 6
CHICAGO—A new lilni
censorship code
has been enacted by the c:ty council of Chicago
to replace the old ordinance declared
unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The new ordinance becomes effective Saturday
(6).
The new law provides that no exhibition
permit is necessary for motion pictures restricted
to viewing by persons 18 years of
age or older. Those films designed for showing
to persons under 18 will require permits,
issued by the police censor board.
Another provision, one designed to specifically
meet the objections of the Supreme
Court to the old law, will allow pictures to
be shown to those under 18 without a permit
if the city fails to issue a permit within 12
days of the application, or fails to seek a
court order barring exhibition.
Mayor Richard I. Daley, following passage
of the new code, criticized the film industry
for its current productions, asserting:
"Isn't it a shame that these film moguls of
the motion picture industry won't take some
responsibility."

our attention that numerous news media
have set themselves up as self-appointed
censors. While we do not question, in most

wishing to uphold community standards,
we wish to caution them that a misapplication
of any standard can result in an unfair
and damaging form of censorship and economic
wrong to the distributor and exhibitor."

Jury Is Unable to Reach
Decision on 'Erotikan'
NEW YORK— Ihe jury m the U.S. District
Court trial
involving the alleged obscenity
of "Erotikan" announced last week that
it was "hopelessly deadlocked" after seven
hours of deliberation.
The final witness, testifying for the American
Film Distributing Corp., which tried to
obtain release of the Belgian picture seized
by the government on the contention it was
not offensive to community standards.
Earlier Dr. Charles Winnick, professor
sociology at the City University of New
of
York, testified that the American Film Distributing
import should be admitted to the
country for exhibition based on the fact that
within the film were elements that were part
of many other movies now being publicly
released. He too said "Erotikan" has redeeming
social qualities.
.Andrew Zaccognino, film reviewer for the
U. S. Customs department, said the film was
"problematical whether the production was
a clinical psychological study or sheer eroticism."

or $1.27 a share. He reported the total
volume for the current year should be about
$65 million, compared with $57.5 million in

Despite a "soft" first quarter, which Wolfson
attributed to cold weather affecting his
company's soft drink bottling operations,
and a general slowness in the television industry,
in which Wometco also has interests,
he is confident the volume for the quarter
will be around $14 million to $15 million,
compared with $12.1 million in the first
quarter of 1967.

TORONTO — Mark Sladc. a National
1 ilm Board administrator, on loan to the
Department of Education, has predicted that
movies, like Warner Bros. -7 Arts' "Bonnie
and Clyde." will eventually become a regular
part of the school curriculum. The director
of the NFB's screen study program and
guest professor at Loyola University has
been traveling around the province since
mid-January expounding this theory.
"I believe that this picture is just as deserving
of serious discussion by senior high
school pupils as any of the so-called great
books that they are now required to dissect
—-in fact, probably more so," Slade was
quoted as saying in a special education supplement
of the Telegram.
In predicting a greater role for film education
in schools, Slade said, "Admittedly,
theatre owners have been slow to accept
this. But it's to their own advantage. Tliis
way they will ensure a future audience of
aware, sensitive viewers who will turn out

'2001' May Influence
Space Ship Designs
president, included distinguished guests in
the arts and sciences, in addition to the
press.
Clarke's record in the field of space science
was recorded in an article in February
1946. where he predicted that communications
satclites would be used in the future.
.Scientists at Hughes acknowledged their
debt to his ideas used in some of the concepts
in the space hardware business. Therefore,
it was with some authority that the
writ\;r of 40 books on space suggested the
possibility that the "2001" film also might
contain ideas which will have an effect on
future space ship design.
He felt this film, because it goes beyond
the imaginable level of science today where
there is complete control of matter, may be
useful in preparing the human race for
something which he feels will eventually
come. This could be an outerspace satellite.
In a philosophical discussion with the audience
he was questioned on the scientific
and spiritual values of space exploration.
"There might be in the future communications
satellites beyond our present technology,
possibly spiritual," he said. "On the
other hand, many of the applications of
space technology will help to solve some of
this nation's ph\sical transportation problems."
He hoped that we wouldn't fall too much
behind the Russians due to economy reasons
and told how they had gone all the way
from a 5-pound ball to a 3,000-ton machine
in a perioil of ten years.

Cobb Circuit Sues WB-7A;
Settlement Out of Court
ATLANTA — A suit for $310,000 in
damages against Warner Bros.-? Arts, filed
in United States District Court here by R. C.
Cobb, president of the Cobb circuit based in
Birmingham. Ala., has been settled out of
court.
Cobb charged that the company reneged
on its contract to provide him with theatrical
prints of "Bonnie and Clyde" for
nine locations
in the Birmingham area. He said the
WB-7 Arts Atlanta branch manager had
assured him that the March-April playdates
were firm and the circuit went ahead and
spent money to promote and advertise the
picture.
Cobb's complaint said he had asked the
film company to produce the prints,
but the
latter's "only response other than a steadfast
refusal to comply with its contractual obligation
was to advise him to "sue us.' "
Cobb's suit added: "The movie "Bonnie
and Clyde' is presently a nominee for ten
Academy Awards and there is a possibility
punitive damages and $10,000 attorney fees.
In the settlement. WB-7 Arts agreed to
supply prints for the March 27-30 "Bonnie
and Clyde" dates at the Capri Theatre and
Cobb's Starlight. Fairpark. Robinwood and
Airport drive-ins and the March 31 -April 2
dates at four other outdoor locations. Skyview,

he National Broadcasting

some of its production sources, such

additional day of features next fall,
giving it
a three-day schedule, according to Walter D.
Scott, chairman of the board, and Mort
Werner, vice-president of programing.
Werner said. "We are not in the theatrical
film business. We know little
about distribution

or overseas. It's a new business which we
would have to learn and we are not about
to do this."
He intimated that even if NBC could yci
into the feature-films-for-theatre business
there might be legal problems, such as gmernment
regulations.
Scott and Werner would not disclose hou
many feature films the network owned or
controlled but said it might be enough lor
two years, with two runs for each feature.
Discussing the price paid for MCA featurefilms

When a theatre books the film for a Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday

and the gross has been fantastic, according
to exhibitors. Some reported that they
grossed more on Tuesday and Wednesday

in Lincoln's first Youth Fair staged in

teenagers and some adults took part.
Cooper's fair attraction was a miniature
theatre of 150 s>iats. It was set up informally
b-efore the auditorium's big stage on which
the big screen was set. Top of the booth on
the auditorium floor serving both a local
radio station and the movie house's projection
equipment looked like a theatre marquee
with two 15x8-foot signs, on which
flashing lights illuminated "To Sir. With

The Cooper schedule for the fair was
nine shows, each lasting 20 to 25 minutes.
Shown were product reels of coming attractions.
A manager and an usher handed out promotional
materials to patrons and were on

weren't limited to the 150 seating capacity,

Mid-America Acquires
Airer at St. Joseph
From Central Ed.tion
-ST. JOSEPH. MO.— Louis and Jules
Jablonow. heads of Mid-America Theatres
in St. Louis, have purchased the Cowtown
Drive-In here from Bev and Mary Belle
Miller. Kansas City, and Joseph W. Stark,
Wichita. The partners built the Cowtown in
1952 and have operated it since then.
Mid-America says it will remodel the airer
and operate it on weekends only until about
mid-May. With the acquisition, the circuit
now operates 20 units in Missouri and Illinois,
with others in the planning stage or
under construction.
About two years ago Mid-America purchased
the Miller-Stark group's Hiway 50
Drive-In at Jefferson City. It was placed
under the supervision of Howard Griffin,
who also will supervise the Cowtown. William
Hanson will be the manager.
Miller, who heads Mercury Film in Kansas
City, serving Missouri. Kansas. Illinois.
Iowa and Nebraska, said the drive-in was
sold so more time could be devoted to his
distribution business. The partnership still
owns property adjacent to the Cowtown.
Film Rental Tax Removal
Aim of NY State NATO
From Eostern Editicn
BUFFALO— Plans are being formulated
for "an all-out fight" to get rid of the state's
film rental tax, Sidney J. Cohen, president,
told the members of NATO of New York
State.
He said the national association's chief
counsel Phil Harling is working on a questionnaire,
which is to go to exhibitors, from
whom he hopes to gain pertinent information
before meeting with the attorney general.
Harling has checked into the favorable
rulings in Indiana and Michigan, where the
tax is removed. It is his belief that the tax
is uncalled for and should be removed, said
Cohen. "This could be the most expensive
fight our organization ever has waged. But
uc will not back away from it."
Censor Viewed as Usurper
Of Home Responsibility
ffjm Nc« England tdition
NEW BRITAIN. CONN. — Proponents
of a federal censorship of motion pictures
are only seeking to
substitute an outside inllucnce
for the more vital element of parental
supervision, according to Allen M.
Widem.
Ihe Hartford Times amusements editor
lold the New Britain Lions Club that the
parents themselves must be responsible for
what their children sec. whether it be in motion
pictures or television or literature, for
that matter.
"Federal censorship," he added," would
only serve to widen the gap between parentchild
coniiiiunicalion."

Although Rains Hamper Theatregoing
In Boston, 'Graduate Grosses 500
BOSTON—The weather obstacle during
the current report period was rain—not
snow—and it was a formidable deterrent to
theatregoing, especially when flooding conditions
were produced March 12 and the
following day by continuous rains. Weathermen
said that had this moisture fallen as
snow instead of rain that Boston and eastern
Massachusetts would have been buried under
15 inches of snow.
The established favorites stood up belter
than new screen product under these trying
weathjr conditions. "The Graduate" was in
its 14th week at the Paris Cinema and in
spite of its long run and the adverse weather
grossed 500 per cent, by far the best percentage
in Boston for the week.
"The Fox" stayed on the beam with a
sixth week 300 at the Beacon Hill Theatre,
while "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" collected
250 for its eighth report week at the
Music Hall. Also in the 200-300 class were
"In Cold Blood," 225 in the seventh goround
at the Cheri 2, and "Half a .Sixpence,"
200 in the fourth week at the Cheri 1.
Among the new films, the best percentage

group payrolls in

$191 million in communications and utilities.
$166 million in transportation and $162

Unemployment turned downward by 4,-

the 47.000 jobless (3.7 per cent) exceeds the

Worcester's Center Associates is backing
a $50 million redevelopment project in the

a 2.500-.seat theatre but the lessee is yet to

In the past decades Worcester, in mid-
Massachusetts, has been losing some of its
population and industry. Between 1950 and
I960, population dropped from 203.486 to
186.587 and some industries moved away.
Many drive-in theatres shuttered during
the late fall and winter months because of
traditional business slump resumed operations
with surprisingly strong boxoffice response.
.Spokesmen commented that attractions
of the calibre of "The Graduate" and
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" served to
renew "a lot of audience attention" in motion
picture-going.
Significantly, while there is a pronounced
pattern of new theatre construction throughout
New England, little, if any, is occurring
in the drive-in theatre field.
Ihe explanation is that there is simply
not enough potential for any more drive-ins
in the bulk of the major New England markets.
Drive-ins now operating, of course, seem
to rely upon a steady family trade and this
in
itself seems to provide a lucrative income.

NEW ENGLAND
although conceivably not on a par with the
hardtops.
At the same time, those hardtops being
built, observers contend, will be aiming for a
long-range potential—i.e., trade that will be
contained in population growth and influx.
Few, if any. of the marginal-operation
hardtops in New England have closed in recent
months and this in itself points to observers
as a healthy barometer.
At one point in New England exhibition
—perhaps a decade ago—a rash of theatre
closings hurt exhibition morale to the extent
that some disillusioned theatre owners contended
that there was no more room for aggressive
management in this territory. Then
the theatre complexes—the two and threeunit
facilities, especially by Ben Sack and
the Redstone theatre interests— got into the
picture and the disillusioned became optimists.
It is felt, and some theatremen seem to be
banking on this philosophy, that once the
hardtop complexes have reached saturation,
attention will return to the drive-in theatre.
Some long-time drive-in men— and there
are men in this territory who maintain that
the drive-in
can outgross a hardtop even in
the most adverse weather— believe that the
greatest potential of the drive-in. even in
poor-weather atmosphere, hasn't been explored.
Timorous theatremen are said to
look too cautiously upon a drive-in and say,
in effect, that because of New England's
weather—eight months can be regarded as
maximum good outlook per year—the
cirivc-in can't be operated at full potential.
But Ihe optimists retort that, given in-car
heater service and first-run product, the
drive-in can be expected to gross as well if
not better than the hardtop, particularly in
view of the latter's parking and traffic problems.
Uniquely enough, the reopening of drivein
theatres in key New England markets for
1968 hasn't been marked by tremendous
concentration on the triple-and-fourlh film
programs that once dominated the field.
As one veteran drive-in man told Box-
OM ice: "Why give away top quality product
so cheaply? It's better to follow the regional
trend, book product in quantities of two
lilms at once and push concessions."
Some years ago, it was a practice of many
drive-ins in New England to play as many
as four films on a single evening during
weekends. 1 his doesn't hold true today and
there arc no indications whatsoever of any
such pattern returning again.
Meanwhile, rumors abound on the theatre
construction field. There is talk, for example,
of more triple theatre complexes in
l.irgcr. more cosmopolitan centers. There is

NEW ENGLAND'S MOST MODERN

OUR OPENING PRESENTATION
IMOMinlATEO FOR
/.. At. Lfli'w's Theatres used this kickoff
ad to introduce the newly constructed
Palace Cinema in West Springfield.
Mass. The initial picture was Columbia's
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
Kleenex Division Promotes
Its 'Jungle Book' Tie-In
R. P. Satkoski. a member of the public
relations staff of the Kimberly-Clark Co..
Neenah, Wis., praised his company's (Kleenex
division) tie-in with Buena Vista's "The
Jungle Book."
Writing in the company's employe publication,
he said that probably no other
premium offer in Kimberly-Clark history
"has had such a thorough advance buildup
among retailers."
The retailers and their families were
guests of Kleenex at screenings of the Disney
production nationwide. The first such
showing was held in the Hollywood Roosevelt
Hotel, complete with a cocktail party
for adults and Coke party for the youngsters.
Chuck Cook is division manager in
southern California.
Afterward the kiddies were given records.
"Jungle Book" charm bracelets and patches.
A photographer took photos of each family.
They were framed and sent to the families
as keepsakes.
Attention-Getting Stunt
Jim Tharp of Interstate Theatres' Bowie
in Brownwood, Tex., dressed his employes
in clothing similar to that worn in "Bonnie
and Clyde." This brought much publicity
for the picture and the theatre.
Of Half a Sixpence' in Toronto
Promotion for Paramount's "Half a Sixpence"
started well in advance of its Canadian
premiere engagement at the Fairlawn
in Toronto. A preview for the industry
was given nearly a month beforehand, immediately
followed by advance newspaper
advertising.
Both RCA and Dot already had issued
soundtrack albums, and these were promptly
given wide exposure on the local radio
station level.
George Sidney Visits
George Sidney, director and co-producer
of the picture visited Toronto just prior to
the opening to promote the film. He also
spoke briefly to the opening-night audience.
Paramount had a featurette made up in
England during the making of the picture.
This showed a musical number being built
up right through from the scoring to the
choreography, and ending up with the full
production number. This proved an excellent
promotion, since it was used extensively
on television.
"Fortunately for us," said Win Barron,
Canadian publicity director for Paramount,
"there has been a revival of the Edwardian
costumes, and this has given us access to
many window displays featuring blazers,
straw hats, tight pants, and so on. We have
windows scheduled with such tie-in merchandise
right through until the end of
April, and this is really tremendous."
Travel Bureaus Cooperate
Travel bureaus particularly are cooperating
with such displays because England is
foremost in the background and because
they are presently promoting the Old Country
as a terminal point. The tight financial
situation gives added urgency for tourist
trade there at
present. British Travel had an
exhibition covering Canada coast-to-coast
for a month prior to the release of the film.
In this exhibit, the agency gave Paramount
plenty of space, large color photos and
played music from the film.
Taped Interviews
British Information .Service also cooperated
in making up tapes with Tommy Steele
BOXOFHCE Showmondiser :: April 1, 1968 — 49-
interviews, supported by the film music.
These were used in 63 markets across the
country, and helped a great deal to get exposure
in areas long before the picture would
play there.
Displays in Stores
Record stores in Toronto were given
skimmers to be worn by the sales staffs.
Displays were featured in many stores, a-
mong them Eaton's, A&A, Sam, the Record
Man, and others. Full-record displays were
used by chain stores, such as Sayvette's.
Displays also were handled by book store
chains, among them Cole's and W. H.
Smith's.
Paramount also has a full national tie-up
with Scholastic Books, which services 16,-
000 clubs across Canada. This in itself has
been a splendid promotion, and there have
been many other smaller tie-ups. all of
which have let people know that "Half a
Sixpence" has arrived in Canada.
This slide cabinet was installed on the
mall of the Tower Plaza Shopping Center
in Phoenix by the Arizona Theatrical
Supply & Rentals a week before the

Focusing on Hunting
Since the city is in northern California
where there's a lot of hunting, the two managers
concentrated on getting window cards
in the sporting goods stores in the city of
70,000. In addition, 2,000 heralds were distributed
in the parking lots of the three
major shopping centers.
As an attention-getter, a display of
mounted trophies, heads of deer, moose
and mountain goats, were set up in the
lobby of the Globe and at the snackbar of
the drive-in a week prior to playdate. The
exhibit was arranged through a local taxidermist.
Attention-Getting Stunt
For a street stunt. Drew and Goldsworthy,
attired as hunters, led a staff member,
dressed as a bear, around town with a
chain. Also, they obtained a pickup truck.

Besides regular ads in the Salinas Daily
Caiifornian, special ones were run on the
sport pages. A tie-in also was made with
radio stations KDON and KRSA and 20
guest tickets were awarded to listeners.

weeks in advance of playdate. Contestants
could fill out entry blanks and deposit them
at the theatre or the travel agency. A window
display also was set up at the agency.
First-Night Benefit
Opening night was a benefit
for the Worchester
Science Museums, with a wine-tasting
party in the Elks Home preceding the
screening. An usher, clad in full armor of a
knight, greeted first-nighters in front of the
theatre. A display of swords, shields and
authentic plaques were exhibited in the theatre's
art gallery through the courtesy of the
Samson Institute of Heraldry of Boston.
The organization also furnished the authentic
"Camelol"-era costumes of the ladies
in waiting, knights and knaves for use of
Ihc emploses on opening night.
Sword Stuck in Rock
An attention-getting stunt was set up by
lowe and Nathan for the premiere patrons.
They were asked to attempt to free a sword
(Excalibur) from a rock. A secret button
enabled the sword to be removed. The Worchester
newspaper publisher was one of the
persons permitted to "free" the sword.

Manager Victor Nowe of the Odeon-
Cartion Theatre in Toronto presents
former film star Colleen Moore a bouquet
of roses on her visit to the theatre
as a guest for Columbia's "Gttess Who's
Coming to Dinner." She was in Toronto
to promote her hook "Silent Star."
Manager Victor Nowe of the Odeon-
Carlton Theatre in Toronto picked up some
excellent publicity for his theatre and for
the engagement of "Guess Who's Coming
to Dinner," when he played host to retired
actress Colleen Moore.
Miss Moore, whose film career spanned
17 years— 1917 to 1934—was in Toronto
to promote her novel "Silent Star." Nowe.
after receiving an acceptance from the
former star, notified the newspapers of her
scheduled visit.
Met at Entrance
When she arrived at the theatre. Nowe.
in a tuxedo, and two ushers, dressed in full
uniform and wearing white gloves, greeted
her and her secretary in front of the house.
In the lobby. Nowe presented Miss Moore
a bouquet of roses.
After the screening to the near-capacity
house, the manager escorted her on a tour
of the theatre, including the projection
room. Projectionist Walter Hesse re-edited
Miss Moore's film "Flaming Youth" in 192.1
when he worked with First National Piclures
in Toronto. The picture was condemned
by the Ontario censor board until
Hesse's re-editing.

SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL ACCESSORIES
rhe truly unusual film accessories for PLANET OF THE APES have
»_.»«--, .„......,:, .-.._..,.,„
jeen carefully designed to complement the powerful print campaign.
fhe film's spectacular visual wonders, sweeping action, and startling
:hematic significance unfold dramatically to leave a lasting impact
)n your advance audiences and millions of television viewers.
Wusic, sound, dialog, and narration have been ingeniously combined
into two sets of radio spots, tailored specifically for college and
general audiences, and highly evocative of PLANET'S unique mood,
style, and theme. An exciting series of open-end interviews with the
stars and staff of the motion picture are also available for a fascinating
supplement to your radio campaign.
PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
The fascinating ape-theme of PLANET OF THE APES is ideally suited
to a world of promotional possibilities. For the New York pre-release
engagement a tremendously successful radio station tie-in was arranged.
Actors dressed in human clothing but wearing ape masks
from the motion picture circulated throughout the city and suburbs
(at shopping centers, etc.) distributing heralds which advertised the
film. The radio station broadcast hour-by-hour coverage of the places
and times at which the "apes" would appear, and urged listeners to
submit snapshots of them to the station with name and address on
the back. On the opening night one snapshot was drawn at the
theatre by a station personality and the winner awarded a Caribbean
vacation. All other entrants received passes to the film. Similar promotions
will spread the word about your engagement of the "in"
picture of the year.

BUENA VISTA
Happiest Millionaire, The (BV)— Fred

Hot Rods to HeU (MGM)—Dana Andrews.
Jeanne Crain. Mimsy Farmer. Here

A Stranger in Town
MGM ((1804) 84 Minute!^ Rel. Apr. '(iS
This Italian-made action diama in Metro Color was
probably made to compete with the Hollywood brand in
Europe. Now the English dubbed version is invading the
home of the originals. It is a good try of its kind. Tony
Anthony in the starring title role has that tight-lipped
facial expression as the dare-devil adventm-er, and Frank
Wolf is suavely fierce as the Mexican bandit. The two
w'omen. Yolanda Modio and Gia Sandri, are also well cast
for their parts. Settings and scenery seem natural to the
story locale. Produced by Allen Klein for Infascelli and
directed by Vance Lewis, the plot is consistently carried
to a somewhat surprising conclusion. Violence there is and
ruthless killing, but the bad guys (and gali get polished
off in the end. While Tony Anthony doesn't exactly
emerge a hero
i
you are never quite sure he is not
what he claims to be i, he is the best of the lot and puts
an end to a notorious bandit's career, earning a reward.

Guns for San Sebastian ^ti
'—'''-'"-
MG.M 168I8) 111 Minutes Rel. Apr. '68
This romantic adventm-e is set in Mexico circa 1750 and
dealing with the legendary hero, Leon Alastray. Anthony
Quinn, who has won Oscars for "Viva Zapata" and "Lust
for Life," has another many-faceted character to portray
and does so in his usual virile and human manner. In his
attempt to elude Mexican troops, he takes on the robes
and identity of a priest and helps save a village from the
•yaqui Indians. Film buffs will note a similarity in this
story and that of the 1955 Himiphrey Bogart vehicle.
"The Left Hand of God." Quinn has received international
acclami for his roles in "Zorba the Greek," "Guns of
Navarone," "Barabbas," and "Lawrence of Arabia.
French director Hem-i Verneuil. who recently directed
Quinn in "The 25th Hour." is well known for films like
"The Sheep Has Five Legs" and "Any Nimiber Can Win,"
James R. Webb, w-ho won an Oscar for "How the West
Was Won," WTote the screenplay based on the novel "A
Wall for San Sebastian" by William Barby Faherty, S. J.
Locatioir photography by Armand Thirard is excellent,
and the film is also abetted by a superb musical score
by Ennio Morricone. Jacques Bar produced this Franco-
Mexican-Italian co-production, presented in Franscope
and Metrocolor.
The Shakiest Gun in the West
Universal (6814) 101 Minutes Rel. May '68
Universals "The Shakiest Gim in the West ' has two
assets going for it: its star Don Knotts. who seems to be
the answer to the prayers of lots of exhibitors who operate
in the smaller U.S. communities; and, a plot rehashed
from the old Edmmid Hartmann and Frank Tashlin
screenplay for one of Bob Hope's biggest hits, "Paleface,"
made by Paramount in 1948 with Hope and Jane Russell.
MCA, Universal's parent company, ow^ns the rights to the
pre-1949 Paramount film library so that an immense
property backlog is theirs for the using. This is the third
Don Knotts' comedy for Universal and probably the best,
not only in terms of story, but also from the standpoint
of production values. In scope and Technicolor, producer
Edward J. Montagne has seen that a veteran supporting
cast backs up the star and hired Alan Rafkin, a TV veteran,
to guide the direction as he did with the other
Knotts films. Old-fashioned and broadly executed, the
comedy lacks imagination and creative touches, but it is
a .somid enough job by all concerned to please the youngsters
and the less discriminating family trade. Barbara
Rhoades, cast in the Russell role, adequately but not as
impres-sively, handles the part.

Benjamin
Ratio: Comedy-Drama
1,85-1 O
Paramount (6747) 100 Minutes Rel. April "68
According to age-old reputation and coir.sensus of opinion,
no one knows more about love—nowadays called
"Sex" than the French. They also have a firm grasp
of irony. Thus "Benjamin," which is subtitled "The Diary
of an Innocent Young Boy," is a cool combination of love,
sex and irony as only the Gallic mind could conceive it.
This Paramount import is a 17th Centmy period piece,
prior to the uprising of the oppressed French mas.ses. It
tells its slight, razor-thin story with a balance befitting
its mood and style. Pierre Clementi, soon to be seen in
"Belle de Jour," plays a country bumpkin, whose virginity
becomes a game for the landed gentry when the youth
comes to stay at his amoral aunt's estate. Michele Morgan
is a glacial creatiu'e as the older woman whose joys
include the game of charade and sex. dementi's escapades
have a himiorous overtone, but are cutting and
rather sad underneath his initiation into manhood. An
excellent cast and first-rate, authentic .settings make
this color art house attraction an appealing film to watch.
Director Michel Deville's approach is less fanciful than
the script calls for. but overall Paramount has an adult
and urban boxoffice pictme. Despite nudity, the film has
an MPAA code seal, but for the subtitled version only.

Rel. May '68
Another good A. C. Lyles western, again studded with
stars of the 1940-50s period, this has a better-than-average
screenplay by Michael Fisher, son of Steve Fisher,
Lyles' screen writer for several years. Because of such
Lyles regulars as Barry Sullivan, Wendell Corey and
Lon Chaney, plus the brief appearance of Richai-d Arlen,
in his 19th Lyles western, this should attract some of the
older moviegoers who recall them in their Hollywood
heyday. Directed by Michael Moore, who gives good footage
to Barbara Hale, retmning to the screen after nine
years in the popular "Perry Mason" TV series, who is
outstanding as a pioneer woman in scenes opposite Bill
Williams and Joan Caulfield. attractive and convincing
an embittered saloon hostess. In addition to this extra
feminine appeal, a natural youngster, Gerald Michenaud,
plays the hero's half-breed son. Laid in Montana in 1881.
just before the railroad is to come through the territory,
there is riding and shooting action aplenty, as well as
considerable human interest in the unhappy travails of
the settlers being forced off their land by a greedy land
baron, the latter role being one of Corey's better acting
jobs. Sullivan also does fine work.

Kona Coast
Warner Bros.-7 Arts (769) 93 Minutes Rel. May '68
^^^-
^^'-y"'-
This Pioneer production was filmed on location in Hawaii.
Star Richard Boone and director Lamont Johnson
co-produced it. Boone plays (or rather overplays' in his
now characteristic style. This time he is the tough skipper
of a fishing boat. When his estranged, teenage, halfcaste
daughter is found dead under the influence of
drugs, Boone starts seeking out the culprits. Much action
ensues. Boone is well known to TV viewers. His recent
films have been "Hombre" and "The War Lord." Vera
Miles, a former Miss Kansas, provides femme interest.
She has been a steady performer in many films, most
recently "Follow Me, Boys!" It is always a pleasure to see
Joan Blondell. In this film she plays the owner of a
broken-down resort wh(>re she tries to rehabilitate alcoholics.
She was a popular star of the 30s and lately
has been essaying character roles, as in "The Cincinnati
Kid" and "Waterhole No. 3. Director Johnson fared
much " better last year with his "A Covenant With Death."
"Kona Coast" is suitable for double bills and in situations
where action programers are the order of the day.
Technicolor photography is good.

NEW PRODUCTION SOURCES
PORTEND RISE IN
OUTPUT
By JOAN BAER
I HE ENTRY of two new film distribution companies,
Cinerama Releasing Corp., handling its own output as
well as that of American Broadcasting Co. subsidiaries
Selmur and Palomar productions, and National General
Pictures handling product from National General Productions
and CBS Films, coupled with expanded schedules
of the other 13 major companies, brings promise of a
vastly enlarged quantity of product for the nation's theatres
in the 1967-68 season. The 15 companies list 381 feature
films compared to 309 from 14 majors in the 1966-67
season. Additionally, 83 other English-language films are
promised from a large array of independent distributors
and 42 foreign-language imports are scheduled.
Uptrend on Wide Range
While Cinerama, with 28 titles listed, and National General
Pictures, with eight, account for only 36 of
the total
increase, exhibitors have had cause in recent v/eeks to
take heart with the revitalization of production by the
older, established firms which have proclaimed their
plans in headlines such as "AIP Allots $22 Million for Production
in 1968," "Columbia Slates 84 Films Into 1969
Production," "Paramount Hits a Production Peak With
Over 125 Films in Offing," "20th-Fox to Release 14 Films
January-May," "Universal Schedules 37 Releases From
January Through Labor Day."
In total product listing, Warner Bros. -7 Arts leads the
way with 60 pictures, some of which will go into 1969
and 1970, since the company recently announced that a
total of 69 major films was finalized through 1970. Paramount,
which lists 51 upcoming films, announced early in
January that the studio had hit a new production high
and the bulk of the 51 productions listed probably will
be delivered during the current season
Majors Sef Sfrong Pace
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with 38 new features and two
reissues on the slate, ranks third in planned output for
the season, closely followed by Universal, with its 37
through Labor Day; Columbia, with 36; 20th-Fox, with 34,
United Artists, with 28, and American International, with
21. Also notable, and expected to be expanded in the next
few weeks, are the announced outputs of Embassy, 1
films; Emerson, 10, a revitalized Allied Artists, which lists
only eight at this time, and Continental, with five listings.
Buena Vista has six releases scheduled, plus one reissue.
Significant also to exhibitors who have long cried out
for more and more color product is the fact that 344 of the
381 releases are definitely slated to be in color. Of the
remaining 37, decisions still are to be made on color or
black-and-white.
Comedy Still Reigns as King
Once again, comedy reigns as king of the upcoming releases
with 101 such subjects scheduled, compared to 74
in the 1966-67 season, and titles alone in many instances
are highly intriguing. There are the Palomar Pictures presentation
for Cinerama release, for instance, of "Nobody
Loves a Drunken Indian," to star Richard Harris; Columbia's
new Jerry Lewis starrer, "Don't Raise the Bridge,
Lower the River" or the same company's current "How
to Save a Marriage and Ruin Your Life." Or, how about
MGM's farce on the 1965 New York blackout, starring
Doris Day, entitled, "Where Were You When the Lights
Went Out? " Paramount takes the prize for title length
with its Julie Andrews starrer concerning a beautiful singer
and a German spy during World War I, with "Darling
Lili, or Where Were You the Night You Said You Shot
Down Baron Von Richtofen?"
Variety in Subject Matter
While shorter in v/ordage, there are the no-less-enticing
"A Flea in Her Ear," Rex Harrison, Rosemary Harris,
Louis Jourdan starrer for 20th-Fox, and the same company's
spoof on birth control pills, "Prudence and the
Pill," starring Deborah Kerr and David Niven. United
Artists holds forth promise of high comedy with its "Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang," Dick Van Dyke starrer, a British-made
roadshow dealing with a zany English family and its
magical car. Additionally, UA has "Inspector Clouseau,"
starring Alan Arkin as the bumbling inspector; Bob Hope
and Phyllis Diller in "The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell,"

zany comedy about a far-out hippie, starring Peter Sellers,
entitled "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!" as well as the
Julie Christie starrer, "Petulia."

by British cavalrymen on Russian cannon during the

A NEW KING of the motion picture
screen reigned during 1967, as Richard
Burton took over the most popular
male star position in the 31st ann
u a 1 BOXOFFICE All- American
Screen Favorites Poll, joining Julie
Andrews, who marks her third year
OS Queen. Burton displaced Cory
Grant, who had held the male title in
undisputed glory for the past five
years, and Burton's conquest of the
top spot was a graphic illustration
of the long, arduous climb to public
acclaim,
A long-time star of the British stage
and screen. Burton first appeared on
the Ail-American Screen Poll ballot
in 1953, but did not rank among the
Top Twelve until 1964. Last year, he
rose to second place. His only screen
product for the '66-'67 season which
saw him taking over the most-popular
male position was "The Taming
of the Shrew" for Columbia, since
balloting was concluded before release
of his current film, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's
"The Comedians."
Miss Andrews, who took over first
place among the female contingent
in her first appearance on the screen
poll ballot in 1965, retained that position
this year, following her successes
in "Hawaii," released by
United Artists, and in Universal's
"Thoroughly Modern Millie."
The 1967 poll again proved the relationship
between popularity and
screen exposure. Grant with no
new releases for the year, dropped
into eighth place among the males,
while Paul Newman rose from fourth
to second on the basis of his performances
in "Hombre" for 20th Century-
Fox and his current "Cool Hand
Luke" for Warner Bros.-7 Arts.
Ranking in second place among
the females was Elizabeth Taylor,
repeating her rating of the preceding
year. With only "The Taming of
the Shrew" to her credit for the film
season. Miss Taylor's much-heralded

she held the year before among the
females. Again, the poll was conducted
before Miss Christie's appearance
on the nation's screens in
her current "Far From the Madding
Crowd" for MGM.
As reported, Cary Grant took the
biggest tumble, losing his five-year
record as King of the screen and
dropping into eighth spot among the
males. Grant's last film appearance
was in "Walk, Don't Run" for Columbia
in 1966. It also was noted that
long-time Queen of the screen, Doris
Day, who shared top honors with
Grant for three years running, also
dropped into eighth place, a twoplace
drop from 1966. Miss Day's
only screen product for the year was
"Caprice" for 20th-Fox.
Four of the five newcomers to the
male Top Twelve took ninth, 10th,
11th and 12th places. Michael Caine,
in ninth spot, had been on the ballot
only for three years. Following his
success in "Alfie" for Paramount last
year, his popularity was enhanced
by a four-picture list of product for
1967, a record equaled only by Miss
Fonda. Caine starred in "Gambit"
for Universal, in "The Wrong Box"
for Columbia, in "Hurry Sundown"
(with Miss Fonda) for Paramount,
and in "Woman Times Seven" for
Embassy. His success in winning

nmtli place among the Top Twelve
males indicated a remarkable
achievement for Caine, who last
year ranked 16th among the 32 runnersup
to the Top Twelve.
Sharing honors in ninth place was
Hayley Mills, who moved up from
11th among the females last year
and whose major screen project in
1967 was "The Family Way" for
WB-7A.
Steve McQueen, introduced to the
male ballot in 1960 and even then a
major favorite with the young film
fans, made his first appearance a-
mong the Top Twelve on the basis
of his role in "The Sand Pebbles" for
20th-Fox in 1967 and with, perhaps,
a carry-over following from his late
1966 release, "Nevada Smith," for
Paramount. A year ago, McQueen
topped the list of male runnersup.
Natalie Wood, with no product for
the year, slumped from fifth to tenth
among the females, and, similarly,
Debbie Reynolds, with only "Divorce
AMERICAN Style" for Columbia,
dropped from eighth to 11th. Newcomer
Sandy Dennis, with her starring
role in "Up the Down Staircase"
for WB-7A plus her holdover appeal
from the late 1966 release "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" made her
first appearance among the Top
Twelve females. Miss Dennis was
added to the poll ballot only last
year and at that time failed to make
even the runnerup list, probably due
to the lateness of the release of "Virginia
Woolf."
Possibly the most notable addition
to the Top Twelve males was that of
Dean Martin, in 11th place. Martin,
listed alone on the ballot since his
parting with Jerry Lewis in the 1950s,
always has made the runnerup list,
but this marks the first time that he
has broken into the favored circle.
Despite his many television appearances,
his votes in the All-American
Screen Favorites Poll, reflect the success
of his film releases only—for
this season, "Texas Across the River"
and "Rough Night in Jericho," both
for Universal.
Similarly, another star with much
past television exposure came into
12th place among the males this
year, again apparently despite, not
because of, his TV prowess. Dick Van
Dyke, added to the male ballot in
1963 when his TV popularity was at
its height, never quite made it to the
Top Twelve with movie buffs, but
this year, with "Divorce AMERICAN
Style" to his credit, he ranked 12th.
Displaced in the 1967 poll by newcomers
were 1966 favorites Charlton
Heston, who scored in seventh place
last year; Rex Harrison, in eighth;
Rock Hudson, ninth; James Stewart,
11th, and Peter Sellers, 12th. And,
among the females, Sandy Dennis
succeeded Joanne Woodward, who
had placed 12th the year before.
Where in past years there has
been a sometimes-wide divergence
of opinion on star popularity between
exhibitor voters and the ballots
cast by newspaper, radio and
TV critics and members of national
motion picture groups, this year
there was virtual unanimity.
Among exhibitors, only James Coburn
showed strength unsupported
by voters in the general poll. Among
the critics and others, Rex Harrison
and Charlton Heston scored well, but
failed to gain enough exhibitor support
to make the Top Twelve listing.
The opinion differences were even
less marked among the female stars,
with only Phyllis Diller drawing
heavy exhibitor support, and Shelley
Winters pulling heavy support from
the general poll voters.
The All-American Screen Favorites
Poll is conducted by sending
ballots listing the eligible stars to
the following groups:
1 Motion picture
magazines.
of newspapers and
2. Theatres— circuits and independents in both
lorge cities and smoll towns.
3. The working press, comprising domestic,
foreign and radio correspondents.
4. Radio and TV commentators
5. Notional Screen Council members, who each
month select the film most suitable for family
entertainment to be given the BOXOFFICE Blue
Ribbcn Award. The Council is composed of motion
picture editors, radio film commentotors and representotives
of better film councils, women's clubs,
civic, educationol and exhibitor organizations.

139 Features in Hit' Class
Scoring 120% or More
Every exhibitor knows that no matter how
much critics rave about a picture, unless it pays
off at the boxoffice, he is in trouble. For that
matter, so is the producer who has gambled
on its patronage potential to the point of having
been extravagant about production costs which
the film does not earn back, let alone make a
profit. So it is always a matter of concern to
producer, distributor and exhibitor when the
public ignores a film—even if critics praise it
and it wins prizes.
Analyzing the boxoffice grosses of the 1966-
67 season, it is not surprising to find, again, a
James Bond picture at the top. "You Only Live
Twice" scored 443 per cent for the season, but
that is about 150 per cent less than "Thunderball"
attained in the previous year. However,
the overall image is somewhat better. Thirteen
films, in all, made boxoffice scores of higher
than 300 per cent in the 1966-67 period, compared
to five last season, and 83 grossed 150
per cent or more. (Grosses on releases for the
first quarter of the 1967-68 season and its top
hits are separately reported on page 40.)
There were 365 features released from September,
1966 through August of 1967, for which
first-run reports from key cities allow for publication
of their boxoffice scores, except in those
instances where not enough playdates were
repxirted to give a clear idea of their playing
strength. Of the 365 features, 139 grossed 120
per cent or more—thus are rated as Top Hits.
This represents nearly 40 per cent of the release
total, which is impressive.
Columbia led in the number of top hits with
20; 20th-Fox came next with 16; MGM had 14;
Paramount and United Artists 13 each; WB-7A
11; Universal 10; Embassy 6; Buena Vista and
American International five each and Continental
three. Miscellaneous independent product
totaled 23.
The diversity of the product is indicative of
the widening field of the motion picture. Also,
it is encouraging to see such public acceptance
of the 7Gmm release of "Gone With the Wind,"
proving that fine films neither die nor fade
away—they become classics because of their
ability to continue to hold the public interest.

AMERICAN-FINANCED FILMS
BOON TO BRITISH INDUSTRY
By ANTHONY GRUNER
"P HE PAST YEAR was a strange one for the motion picture
business in Britain. While it was not an outstanding
one lor boxoflice attendance, the situation for producers
was one of almost unmitigated bliss. And for those producers
in particular who made their pictures in this country,
whether British or American, the omens were remarkably
good.
Out of the ten best general release boxoffice pictures,
SIX of them were made in the United Kingdom. They were:
You Only Live Twice," United Artists; "The Dirty Dozen,"
"The Family Way," British Lion
;nd Columbia; "The Blue Max," 20th Century-Fox; "Cosmo
Royale," Columbia, and "One Million Years B.C.,"
Hammer and Seven Arts for 20th-Fox release
Some Outstanding Successes
In addition to these six successful British-made films,
other British-made productions scored successfully in
the home market. There was Columbia's "A Man for All
Seasons," with Paul Scofield, which is now still running
m the West End and looks like becoming one of the biggest
roadshow grossers for 1967 and 1968. Other big
money spinners were "To Sir, With Love," starring Sidney
Pettier, another Columbia production, which raced around
and then added strength to its prestige with each engagement.
Peter Rogers, with his "Carry On" series, chose the
French Revolution for his theme and the film "Don't Lose
Your Head," with all the usual "Carry On" stars, made o
lot of money in the U.K. Equally enjoying a big financial
return was the Rank comedy starring Morecambe and
Wise, the two British comedians of "The Magnificent
Two."
These were only some of the British-made productions
which shot ahead during 1967.
Hollywood Provides Goodly Share
What about Hollywood contributions to British boxoffice
prosperity? Among the big ones were, of course,
Warners' musical "My Fair Lady" and Warren Beatty's
production of "Bonnie and Clyde," the Howard Hawks
western, "El Dorado," with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum,
and Richard Brooks' production, "The Professionals,"
with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin.
Earning good money also were such films as 20th-Fox's
"A Guide for the Married Man," "Hombre," "In Like
Flint," and United Artists' "A Fistful of Dollars" and "Return
of the Seven."
Paramount, whose big year 1968 may well be, had
Stanley Baker's "Robbery," Harry Saltzman's "Funeral in
Berlin," and the picture likely to take the most money in
this country since "The Sound of Music," George Sidney's
'Half a Sixpence," the musical starring Tommy Steele.
The lineup of films from Britain for 1968, with a considerable
boxoffice potential, would appear greater than
in previous years Here, in a company by company break

Ouflook for Ensuing Year
The next 12 montlis or so in British iihn production will
prove to be the most ambitious, expensive and widespread
in the history of the industry. There are no precedents
to judge the volume of large-scale filmmaking
which is being sponsored by the major American film
companies in the United Kingdom. While the British film
groups, like ABC, who are possibly to be acquired by EMI,
the largest recording company in the world, or the Rank
Organization, which has carefully diversified its interests
so that it suffers a minimum of risks involved in the production
of its own fully financed features, stay clear of a
bullish attitude on film production; the Yanks can't get
enough of it.
All the main companies have their top executive pro
duction men in London and the production staffs of eacfi
seem to go in for monthly increases. There is the Columbia
group headed by Maxwell Setton; Paramount with
Bud Ornstein, Universal and Jay Kanter, United Artisl;
and David Chosen and MGM with Arvid Griffin and Has::
Sumner, not forgetting Andre Hakim for 20th Century-Fox
These are the men who control the production fortunes oi
the British film industry.
There has also been the arrival of the television net
works like CBS, ABC and Westinghouse, who are also
sponsoring British film production. In fact, almost all
American, French or Italian producers are interested n.
making films over here. Not too noticeable, at the moment
IS a similar desire on the part of the British banks to en
courage its indigenous producers and directors to pro
duce British-financed features.
Provide a "Golden Age"
The Americans have, in fact, provided a "golden age
lor British filmmaking. More young men and women of
talent have been given their chances in the motion pic
ture industry in the last 12 months or so than any previous
period in the post-war history of the business. This hn:
led to the arrival of such finds as directors from televisic:
like Ken Loach, who made "Poor Cow" for Joseph Jann.
Peter Collinson, who directed "The Penthouse" for Mich
ael Klinger and who now has completed "Up the June
tion" for Paramount; Silvio Narizzano, who directed
"Georgy Girl" for Columbia and is now making "Tl;'
Love Department" for 20th-Fox; Philip Seville, who maa>
"Oedipus Rex" for Universal, and now "The House ;r
London," for Columbia.
These were among the new young creative TV talent
who were given their chances in television during 196/
of whom more will be heard and seen during the monti.
to come. In this connection, it is not without significanc'
that Sydney Newman, the television head of drama f
the British Broadcasting Corp., resigned at the end of Ic:
year to take up an appointment as producer of featut'
films with the Associated British Picture Corp
Combination of Strong Factors
This was only one side of the picture. The insistence c:
quality and talent and youth was supplemented by th'
U.S. companies' confidence in the future and their abilit
to spend money without blinking at the cost. In the i:
terests of securing the best possible properties, nothir:
was too sacred or too expensive by the new patrons
the British film industry.
Hollywood, in other words, hastened a period of pros
perity for all sections of the creative side of the motion
picture industry over here. Artists, directors, writers and
technicians were enjoying a scale and standard of livina
unknown to them in the past. The film bonanza had arrived
in Great Britain. So, while the Americans were rushing
ahead with lavish film projects, the British, on the
whole, tended to cash in on this new lucrative situation
British studios, that at one time faced a distinct possibility
of having a shortage of clients, were now making
sufficient money to introduce important improvements in
their facilities.
Both Rank's Pinewood studios and MGM's Boreham
Wood Studios were making important changes in the facilities
available to producers. The Rank Pinewood Stu

dios, under Kip Herren, enlcrrged their carpentry shop
making it the biggest in Europe, as is their newly buih
exterior tank measuring 240 by 60 feet. At the rear of the
backing will be a series of rooms for offices and stores,
as well as viewing galleries for art directors' inspection
and selection of mouldings and other props. Pinewood
with its 72 acres of grounds, has developed extensive
road building programs and thousands of pounds have
been authorized for extension and improvements. A nev/
first floor wing is being added to the main administration
block, which will include five executive suites for
producers.
At MGM's Boreham Wood Studios, the dubbing theatre
has been largely rebuilt and acoustically redesigned
Dubbing facilities have been improved for both monaural
and 4-track stereophonic sound, so that up to four mixer:;
can be employed if required. A new system of front pro
jection is being successfully used for current productions
A specially designed camera projection rig enables pictures
up to 100 feet in width and 40 feet in height to be
projected at normal day interior lighting levels. A European
street, which can be adapted to any major European
city street is among the other innovations created
by MGM for its customers.
Other Studios on Bandwagon
Other studios have also jumped on the bandwagons
but none have spent the money and created the facilitier
for feature film production up to the standards set by
Rank and MGM.
While the major British and American producers enjoy
and thrive on the encouraging atmosphere of production,
there are some who have clearly emerged as men to
watch in the coming months. Of course, Jimmy Carreras
of f-lammer Films, has shown himself to be the most sue
cessful with his British productions, like "The Return o!
She," "The Devil Rides Out" and "The Lost Continent.
The Hammer tie-up with Associated British in this country
and the 20th Century-Fox deal for the rest of the world,
enable them to make pictures which have already paid
for themselves before they have even gone into exhibi
tion.
But, if Carreras is doing well with his Seven Arts and
20th-Fox contacts, there are other producers who, in a
business way, have shown similar shrewdness and showmanship.
Joseph Janni, following on his business relations with
Nat Cohen's Anglo-Amalgamated, was able to make one
of the most expensive films in 1967, "Far From the Madding
Crowd," with Julie Christie and Alan Bates. The picture,
which some have called Britain's answer to "Gone
With the Wind," has done fairly good business. But, then,
when Janni and Cohen came up with "Poor Cow," with
Carol White and Terence Stamp, they really had a area!
'
smashing success on their hands. "Poor Cow, realistic
look at working class criminal life, was made at a
fraction of the cost of "Madding Crowd," but is expected
to bring back twice as much money to the producers,
although the former may, in the long term, gather a giant
share of boxoffice riches.
Janni has certainly become one of the most sought-after

producers over here and he has shown himself to be o
rare judge of talent, whether it is picking a new director,
like Ken Loach, or a new star, like Carol White
One of the most enterprising of the smaller compxin
ies is London Independent Producers, now under the
chairmanship of Sir Ian Mactaggart, who succeeded to
the position after Sidney Box resigned, owing to ill health
London Independent, in its tie-up with Westinghouse,
has provided its U.S. partner with two major films in
1967, "The Limbo Line" and "The Man Outside," and will
make at least four other pictures this year with Westinghouse
for the international market.
Both Bill Gell jr. and Michael Bromhead have proved
over here that it is possible to earn good money with a
small distribution set-up, provided you know your business
and can choose the type of boxoffice subjects which
the exhibitors are seeking.
In this connection, the man who surprised more people
in the trade at the speed at which he has risen to the
top is Tony Tenser, the former managing director of Compton
Films. When Tenser left that company in 1966, no one
would have thought that he would have been in a position
to go into production so swiftly on his own, as both
distributor and producer. But this is what Tenser has
done and, through his deals with American International
and others, he is now able to contribute a substantial
amount ot exploitable tare to British and foreign exhit:
tors. Tenser is believed to have a very big one in the Vi:
cent Price thriller, "The Witch Hunter."
If Tenser was the most active newcomer in production
m 1967, there were plenty of producers from the States
who never seemed to stop making films during that year
One of these was Walter Shenson, who at one time was
making films for four companies: Columbia, 20th-Fox,
Paramount and United Artists. Another was Harry Saltz
man, who after the James Bond adventure, 'You Only L:'.-
Twice,
' managed to make two other Len Deighton thr:.
ers based on the Harry Palmer character played by !.'
chael Caine and prepare for his "Battle of Britain."
The most successful director in the U.K. probably w;:
George Sidney, for he has provided himself a rich nesi
egg with his production "Half a Sixpence," which is cer
tainly likely to be one of the major grossers that Para
mount will release during 1968.
As long as there are American companies to finance
production in Britain, there can only be a fruitful future
facing the film production industry. Devaluation or ncmoves
to restrict investment in foreign countries or nc*
the omens look very good for producers everywherwho
want to make good films for theatrical release
with the ultimate aim of selling to television.
The enthusiasm of the Americans might even be catch
ing to Britain's conservative-minded banks that had tend
ed, in the past, to fight shy of investing in motion pictures
By the end of 1968, we should be able to know whether
Hollywood's strategy of making good films over here had
paid off well enough to plan to increase production plans
up and beyond 1970. If that is the case, then it is likely
that British businessmen will wish to join in this film
production bonanza with their own money.

Voters in the Boxommce Barometer
All-American Screen Poll again selected
12 Stars of the Future—six actresses and
six actors—whom they consider to be
leading contenders for full-fledged motion
picture stardom. It was the sixth
consecutive year that the Stars of the
Future had been included in the screen
poll balloting and. once again, young
people from show business families took
the lead in the final tabulations.
Candice Bergen,
daughter of ventriloquist-aclor
Edgar Bergen. led the female
Stars of the Future contingent, following
her role in "The Sand Pebbles" for 20th
Century-Fox. She is currently appearing
in the same company's "The Day the
Fish Came Out." Miss Bergen made her
screen debut a year earlier in United
Artists' "The Group," and ranked third
among femme Stars of the Future last
year. Although primarily interested in
photography and journalism. Miss Bergen
worked for a degree in art history
and creative writing and won a "best
actress" award at her school, the University
of Pennsylvania, following a
highly successful modeling career in
New York.
Topping the male Stars of the Future
was Robert Walker jr., son of the famous
actor who died some years ago at the
height of his own career. Young Walker,
who starred in "The Happening" for
Columbia and "The War Wagon" for
Universal last season, ranked second
among the male Stars of the Future a
year ago, just four years after making
his screen debut in Metro-Goldwyn"
Mayer's "The Hook." He subsequently
appeared in "Ensign Pulver" for Warner
Bros, and in "The Ceremony" for United
Artists.
Nancy Sinatra, songstress daughter of
Frank Sinatra, repeated her score of last
year, again ranking in second place. She
had no new screen product for the year,
her last appearance being in American
International's "The Wild Angels" a year
ago. Miss Sinatra first appeared in "For
Those Who Think Young." United Artists'
release, in 1964, and in "Get Yourself
a College Girl," for MGM. the same
year, then later, in Warner Bros." "Marriage
on the Rocks."
Patrick Wayne, son of veteran John
Wayne, (who himself scored fourth
among the male stars in popularity this
year), appeared in second place among
the male Stars of the Future, rising one
position from his third-place rating the
year before. Young Wayne had no new
screen product for the 1966-67 season,
his last appearances being in "McLintock!"
for UA in 196.^ and in "Shenandoah"
for Universal in 1965. Wayne first
appeared on the nation's screens in Columbia's
"The Young Land," in 19.59.
then was featured in his father's renowned
production of "The Alamo." released
by UA in 1960, and in 20th-Fox's
"The Comancheros" in 1961.
Barbara Harris, newcomer to motion
picture audiences after a highly successful
Broadway career, ranked in third
place among the female Stars of the
Future, following the film re-creation of
her stage role in "Oh Dad. Poor Dad.
Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and
I'm Fcelin' So Sad" for Paramount release.
Miss Harris has been much soughtafter
in the legitimate theatre since her
stage role in "Oh Dad" and her successful
performance in "On a Clear Day You
Can .See Forever."
Ranking third among the young males
was James Mitchum, coming up from
fourth place a year ago. The son of actor
Robert Mitchum has been a working
actor since the age of ten. Two major
film studios placed him under contract

while he was still
in his teens and his film
credits include '"Young Guns of Texas"
for 20th-Fox in 1962: "The Victors" and
"Ride the Wild Surf" for Columbia:
"The Tramplers," an Embassy release,
and a co-starring role in United Artists'
"Ambush Bay." He had no new screen
product for the 1966-67 season.
California native Diane McBain, a
former Miss Glendale who went straight
from high school into motion pictures via
a Warner Bros, contract, won fourth
place among the femmes this year on the
basis of her performance in American
International's "Thunder Alley" and
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer'S "Spinout."
John Phillip Law. who has done most
of his film work in Italy, came into
fourth place among the male Stars of the
Future this year after his successful performance
in Paramount's "Hurry Sundown."
His only other screen work under
U. S. auspices was in "The Russians
Are Coming . . . the Russians Are Coming"
for UA a year ago. A Hollywood
native, Law began his acting career in
the New York theatre, spent two years
at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of
the Theatre and was a member of the acting
company of the Lincoln Center Repertory
for two years.
Faye Dunaway, with "The Happening"
for Columbia and "Hurry .Sundown"
for Paramount, plus her current
success in Warner Bros. -7 Arts' "Bonnie

show. "Hogan's Goat, won her a multi-
"
film contract with Columbia and her role
in "The Happening."

Jay North—the onetime Dennis the
Menace of television fame — made the
top six listing despite the fact that he had
no new screen product for the season,
but on the basis of his carryover appeal
from the 1965-66 release of "Maya" by
MGM. Young North, a Hollywood native,
lived at Studio City while becoming
a moppet TV star and before he was
paged by King Bros, to star in "Maya."

with her widowed mother who later
earned their living by teaching in several
states. Miss Langdon attended Texas
State Teachers College, Idaho State College
and Montana State College, where
she became interested in the theatre and,
at the age of 20, set out for Broadway.
She made her screen debut in "The Great
Inposter," with Tony Curtis.
.Scoring sixth among the men is John
Davidson, who appeared this season in
Walt Disney's "The Happiest Millionaire."
Davidson began his theatrical career
in New York with the juvenile lead
in the Broadway production of "Foxy,"
Bert Lahr's last musical. He was seen
there by producer Bob Banner and signed
to a long-term contract and just before
joining the Disney studios, he won critical
and boxoffice acclaim for his portrayal

:
INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT ROLE
SEEN FOR FOREIGN FILMS
By JAMES M WAITERS
IVIORE than two decades have passed since Roberto
Rossellini's "Open City" appeared in New York in the
spring of 1946 to herald the coming of the foreign-language
films as we know them today in this country. Not
that foreign pictures had not been popular here prior to
World War II. Of course, they had, going all the way back
to pre-World War I when Italian spectacles like "Cabiria"
and "Quo Vadis" were boxoffice rivals to early D. W
Griffith productions like "ludith of Bethulia." There v/ere
also the early types of art house attractions like "The Cabinet
of Dr. Caligari" which Samuel Goldwyn imported
and, later on, such masterpieces as Carl Theo. Dreyer's
"Jeanne D'Arc." During the sound period of the 1930s, im
ports couldn't hold a boxoffice dollar to the dominating
American film industry, which had truly captured the
world
When the New Era Began
But with the neo-realistic (as it was categorized) "Open
City," which Joseph Burstyn and Arthur Mayer imported,
a new era was born And with this remarkable film lay
the sign of things to come. Here was a film which the
critics loved and which, at first, the public shunned
Shrewd exhibitors Burstyn and Mayer sold their film
through a lurid, by 1946 standards, advertising campaign
using a quote from a popular magazine's review which
stated that "Open City" was "sexier than any American
film dared to be." Thus, a pattern was established which
persisted for many years—daring imports, critical ac
claim, big city patronage.
Yet through all these years, many foreign-language
films never reached these shores. Six years ago, the Mu
seum of Modern Art and the then new Lincoln Center began
the New York Film Festival, dominated by foreign-language
entries with uncertain commercial potential. Each
year, the festival became more and more popular with all
types of audiences who were willing to pay top and even
higher prices to see films unlikely to get much distribu
tion in commercial theatres. As a result, another important
showcase came into existence for the growing American
public response to films that were different, unusual,
esoteric and "in "
By 1967, the foreign-language film was an accepted
part of the movie industry via the subsidiary distribution
set-ups of the major companies, the multitude of inde
pendent importers and distributors, the film festival (not
only in New York but Chicago, San Francisco and many
special college community centers), and even through
sales of subtitled and dubbed foreign pictures to television
For 1968, the over-all scene has fewer clearly defined
outlmes than ever before. The foreign-language prod .
has made great inroads and can provide a potentially :
boxoffice attraction in almost any U.S. city, excepting i:
rural areas. And big city cinemas are more or less p
:
terned after the original concept of the art house, whic:
gained its important place in exhibition through the shov/
ing of foreign films. In New York, the old movie palace is
outmoded. Within the next two years, the Capitol will .
joining the razed company of the Roxy and Paramou:
and Loew's State will be converted into two small cir.-
ma's in the piggy-back style of new shopping cenhouses
Like all film product, the foreign-language entry wo:
on a hit-or-miss basis. It always has and always v.
The chances are still greater, particularly for the ina
pendent, for, unlike the American product, television so;
are not a "sure thing." But the chances of success ::
higher than ever before, because more people, partic
larly young movie audiences of today, "dig" the fore:
:
pictures. In fact, it is now the so-called "undergroucinema"
in metropolitan areas which has replaced the :
eign film, standing in 1968 rather as the foreign film dia
in the early 1950s before the French "nouvelle vogue" and
Fellini descended with the full force of a boxoffice hum
cane
American Films Adopt Pattern
Moviegoers today show every indication of patronizu
foreign-language films as casually as they watch nt
American films on prime-time network television. Go::
out to the movies, they want what is so often availai
in adult and unusual entertainment through the exo'
erotic, and artsy-craftsy foreign fare. No greater proof
.
the fact that American filmmakers have finally co::
around to matching the foreign movie masters with t
nudity, profanity, the "real" side of life, as well as stranr;
elliptically edited, obscure and decided non-conventior
techniques
One of the most important developments helping Amc
can films, in a sense, to become more continental is t!
in 1967, major companies used more foreign talent th
:
ever. Foreign stars hove played boxoffice roles for a go
ten years in their own foreign films (Bardot, Loren, M
.
troianni), but never have so many major US compom
employed foreign directors, foreign writers, etc., as in t':
past year. A good example is Paramount. "Treasure
San Gennaro," "The Head of the Family," "Barbarella
Operation St. Peter's," "Benjamin," "Anyone Can Play
'Grand Slqm," "The Stranger," "Danger-Diabolik" and
Isabel" are all major Paramount films for 1968. Most of
them have foreign directors, foreign casts, with only -;
tew Americans scattered in the midst of them all. Son

: a
oi these films were shot in only one language, some in
two, others will be dubbed, maybe subtitled, etc. It is.
therefore, quite impossible to have a clear-cut picture of
foreign-language films any more. And to make matters
worse, even English-made films have some English dia
lects so broad that complaints are heard about the prob
lem of understanding the language—which is English, or
a form thereof
All Companies Not Handling Them
While the foreign language films have never been so
popular, not every company is going all-out for them. 20th
i^entury-Fox's International Classics is now defunct fol
.ving the failures of "La Fuga," "Les Cloportes," "Diary
Chambermaid" and "Male Companion." The company
seems to realize the meeting of the two worlds of
foreign and domestic product, however; and will release
two very important foreign films under the 20th-Fox ban
ner this year—Mai Zetterling's "Doctor Glas," and Alain
Resnais' "I Love, I Love You "
Another example of the mixture of the two worlds would
be Warner Bros.-? Arts' upcoming release, "The Chastity
Belt," starring America's Tony Curtis with Italy's Monica
Vitti, directed by P. Campanile and produced by Francesco
Mazzei. How do you catalog this type of film,
which will be released here in English—dubbed or postsynchronized
for the most part? Also worth noting is that
WB-7 Arts' Claridge Pictures is a new subsidiary which
handles not only foreign entries like "The Birds, the Bees
and the Italians," but also "The Fox," with its nudity and
explicit lesbian theme as strong as any seen in a foreignlanguage
picture.
Some Click, Some Don't
If 20th-Fox has dropped its subsidiary, American International
has taken its two-year-old Trans-American
subsidiary, put it under Erwin A. Lesser, and acquired
some important foreign product, like Alain Robbe Grillet's
"Trans-Europ Express," "Succubus" and "Helga." The
company will now be releasing in 1968, for the first time,
first-class foreign-language art house entries.
Columbia's Royal Films International had a poor showing
in 1967 with "The Sucker," "The Game Is Over,"
"Band of Outsiders," "Masculine Feminine" and "A Rose
for Everyone" doing lackluster business. For 1968, Royal
is counting on a good showing for "China Is Near," already
a major artistic triumph, "The Queens" with starrer
names like Claudia Cardinale and Capucine, "A Maiden
for a Prince" and several other top art house attractions
MGM has no foreign-language films for 1968 release.
However, director Michelangelo Antonioni, one of the
great names in cinema today, following his tremendous
boxoffice success with "Blow-Up" (the film grossed $6,-
000,000), has a three-picture deal with the company, all
of which will be filmed in the English language. But, once
again, these films will undoubtedly be art house type attractions,
no matter what their language and, at the same
time, offer proof that this type of film can make lots and
lots of money with a very large audience willing to pay
to see what was once the private domain of the big city
art cinema.
In the areas of individual distributors and the independent
film importers, the past year brought great rewards.
Not since the days of "Open City," has the little
man had such a wide-open field. Three foreign films got
the biggest public and critical response and all were from
the independents. They were Brandon's "La Guerre Est
Finie," Sigma Ill's "Closely Watched Trains" and Cinema
V's "Elvira Madigan," which has been compared with
"A Man and a Woman" and called "the most beautiful
film ever made" by the New York Times. Cinema V has
given the picture an expensive, class promotion campaign.
The company also has a strong entry in "The Two
of Us."
Sigma III, bought in 1967 by Filmways, had a phenomenal
grosser in 1966 with "Dear John." In 1967, Sigma
III, in association with Carlo Ponti, picked up the best
of the Czech films shown at the Museum of Modern Art in
tribute to that eastern European filmmaking country. One
of them, "Daisies," was an out-and-out fiasco in commercial
release, but "Closely Watched Trains" is an
enormous foreign-language success. Sigma III will soon
be releasing other Czech films, like "The Fifth Horseman
Is Fear" and "Courage for a Day."
Boon for Independent Firms
Allied Artists, still rejoicing from "A Man and a Woman,"
has been holding in the wings Luis Bunuel's "Belle
de Jour," which, because of a New York booking tie-up,
did not get into distribution in 1967. "Belle de Jour," acclaimed
by critics as that famous French-Spanish-Mexican
filmmaker's best work, should be a very strong entry
in the art house market.
Audubon Films, causing a minor revolution with "1, a
Woman," an explicit drama of a nymphomaniac, with
Essy Persson, which grossed over $1,500,000, putting the
company into the big-league classification, offered "Carmen,
Baby" in 1967. Produced and directed by Audubon
head, Radley Metzger, the Yugoslavian-made film was
another boxoffice hit. For 1968, Metzger has recently completed
in France "Therese and Isabelle," another drama,
with Miss Persson again as the star.
Walter Reade's distribution arm. Continental Distributing,
is, of course, counting on their big investment in the
Russian "War and Peace," to be shown on roadshow
policy in double performance to accommodate the excessive
length of the epic which runs seven hours. The
film will hold the record for the longest subtitled film of
all time.
Other companies handling the foreign product in 1968
will include such reliables as Pathe Contemporary, Trans-
Lux, Rizzoli, Comet, United Film, and Times Films.
Between the majors and the independents, the facts
are plain that foreign films in foreign-language versions
or dubbed are going to play an increasingly important
role in exhibitor bookings this coming year

HIGHLIGHT SHORTS RELEASES
O PORTS reels, travel tours to romantic and mod" places
and a huge supply of cartoons will highlight the more
than 300 high-caliber short subjects to be made available
to exhibition this year. Sophistication and modern outlook
keynote the subject matter of most of the one and tworeelers
and many of these are coming to exhibitors with
selling aids and promotions designed to even more enhance
their patron appeal.
Filmed Newsreels Discontinued
While the shorts supply remains largely undiminished,
it is noted sadly that the last of the theatrical newsreels
died as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer discontinued its News of
the Day and Universal halted output of its Universal
Newsreel. These two, for a number of years, had remained
the only theatrical newsreels in a field which originally
saw five such series, including RKO Pathe News,
Paramount News and Fox Movietonews.
Despite this, distribution was enthusiastic about its
other short subject releases for the year, and Columbia
for many years leader in the field, again increased its
scheduled output for a total of 89 releases for the 1967-68
season. For the second consecutive year, the company
will release the outstanding short presented at the New
York Film Festival, this year's award-winning National
Film Board of Canada's "What on Earth." "The Last Mohican,"
last year's entry, and Ernest Pintoff's "The Critic"
also will still be available. Another top-rated one-reel
special will be the hilarious "The Animal Movie." In the
"World of Sports" series, the lead-off film is "60 Cycles,"
winner of the Cork International Film Festival and the
Silver Medal at the Moscow Film Festival. And, in the
featurettes, Columbia will offer "Take It From the Top,"
a CinemaScope tour of Canada; "Wonderful Sicily," "Alpine
Summer" and "Wonderful Caribbean."
'St. Tropez' Highlights Riviera
One of the major highlights of the Universal program
is "Road to St. Tropez," a 30-minute color ieaturette dealing
with the French Riviera and the swinging "mod" set.
A second special, "Jazz Festival," runs 28 minutes and features
the Kings of the Clarinet, Pete Fountain and Acker
Bilk. Seven new Color Adventures from the company will
include "Island Hoppin Swede 'n Lovely," "Nothing
Like a Dane," "Divided City," "Sorry Signorina," "Wonderful
Whirley Birds" and another as yet untitled.
United Artists is augmenting its "Pink Panther" and
"Inspector" cartoon series with a live-action color short,
"Wet and Wild," a breath-taking study of surfing which
the company predicts will win an Academy Award, and
Warner Bros.-? Arts, with a strong lineup of cartoon subjects,
will also continue its outstanding "Worldwide Adventure
Specials" with four two-reelers and six one-reelers,
tours of beautiful, faraway and exotic places.
Paramount is hearkening to exhibitor demand for more
specials and has slated such subjects as "Ski America,"
a tour of the world-famous ski resorts and areas in the
U.S.; "The Old West Trail, ' following the Lewis and Clark
and Pony Express trails; "Voyage From Tahiti," "Texas
Today," "Africa—Yesterday and Tomorrow," "Texas
Longhorns," "Calypso Au Go Go," "Winter Sports—Italian
Style," "Jamaica," "The Silent Screamer," "Tapestry
for Thailand," "Come Back to Erin," Brazil," "The Queen
Mary," "The Supporting British," "Boy Scout Jamboree"
and "Flemish Seascape."
In its "Sports in Action" series, Paramount will release
"Keys to Fishing Fun," "Race for the Golden Flag,"
European version of the Indianapolis 500, and "Ballet in
Blue," concerning aerobatics, plus two other subjects.
Lester A. Schoenfeld continues to expand his listing of
short subjects, too, offering 60 new subjects in one-reelers,
two-reelers and featurettes.
Many Free Subjects Available
Modern Talking Picture Service, distributor of free short
subjects, has slated a number of important releases including
"New York, the Anytime City," "Shellarama,"
"1999 A.D.," "Lifeline to Vietnam," "Autumn in Pennsylvania"
and "The Air of Good Living," the latter dealing
with air pollution.
Buena Vista is highlighting "The Legend of the Boy
and the Eagle," a 48-minute live action subject telling
the story of an Indian boy and his pet eagle in the Arizona
desert country, and again the company will offer
many subjects from its Academy Award-winning True
Life nature films.
MGM, which has in recent years had only its "Tom and
Jerry" cartoons, will release a new nine-minute short,
"The Bear That Wasn't," based on Frank Tashlin's classic
story about a bear who is forced to live like a man since
no one accepts the fact that he is an animal; and additionally
the company has available a number of subjects
based on the filming of major MGM feature releases.
Old Favorites Among Cartoons
In the cartoon field, perennial favorites again will include
Columbia's "Mr. Magoo" and "Loopy de Loop"
series; Universal's reels starring Woody Woodpecker,
Chilly Willy and the Three Beary Family; MGM's 'Tom
and Jerry" cartoons; Terrytoons' "Sad Cat" reels released
through 20th Century-Fox; Warner Bros.-? Arts cartoon
characters, the Roadrunner, Speedy Gonzales, Daffy
Duck, Sylvester, Tweety and Bugs Bunny; United Artists'
"The Pink Panther" and "The Inspector" series and Buena
Vista subjects featuring old favorites Mickey Mouse, Donald
Duck, Pluto, Goofy and Chip 'n Dale.
Live-action comedies will include Columbia's Three
Stooges. Paramount has a new comedy series, "Here's
Homer," produced, written and narrated by Homer Groening,
presenting a wry and humorous approach to various
subjects somewhat in the style of the old Pete Smith
and Robert Benchley comedies. The first, "Please, Not
While I'm Putting," examines the sport of golf. Others will
cover camping, surfing and popular outdoor activities.

PRODUCERS
The P (M\ p r Behind 1 ti e S r e n e s
Unsung Heroes Who Make or Break the Pictures
By VELMA WEST SYKES
|N RAYMOND DURGNATS "Films
and Feelings," published by the M.I.T.
Pi ess. James Agate is quoted as having
written: "The film critic wants a picture
to be so good that it will stand up to educated
taste, whereas the aim of the film
producer is to produce something which
cannot be defeated by lack of taste."
That these points of view are often in
conflict has been demonstrated all
through the history of film production.
As Durgnat himself suggests: "The great
difficulty in talking about cinema style
is that the cinema is a potpourri of art
forms, sharing elements in common with
each, but weaving them into a pattern of
their own."
It must be remembered, too. that
originally the motion picture was referred
to as the poor man's theatre and
for the family trade. As such, it had to
cater to less cultivated and sophisticated
tastes. Since even now its patronage is
so broad, covering many cultures and
crossing international lines, the need to
generalize rather than specialize has been
a boxoffice necessity. However, stereotypes
are giving way to interesting innovations
which have their own appeal to
the public, even on the mass level.
Looking over the list of producers of
top hits for the 1966-67 season, we find
only one—Sam Katzman—has three top
hits (grossing 120 per cent of average
business or more) to his credit. Each of
these three is released by a different
company, but they were all topical in
theme and geared for youthful audiences.
Also, they were comparatively low-budget
films.
Producers, who had two top hits released
for the sea.son, number 1.1 in all.
and. while some have two films that are
very unlike, others have produced what
might be called "fraternal twins." Perhaps
the one whose films are least alike
IS Dino Dc I.aurcntiis. There seems to be
liiilc rolalionship between "The Bible"
and "Kiss the Girls and Make Them
Die."
While Saul David's "In Like Flint"
was an amusing spoof of the spy film
cycle, his "Fantastic Voyage" was unique
in the science-fantasy field because of its
educational angles. Walter Mirisch's two
were both "top drawer," as well as top
hits, but dealt with two different kinds of
intolerance — religious ("Hawaii") and
racial ("In the Heat of the Night"), but
kept entertainment values foremost.
Carlo Ponti continued, with his two tophit
films, to slant his productions for
sophisticated, big-city audiences: "Blow-
Up" and "The 25th Hour."
Of producers having only one top hit
for the season, many of them ploughed
new ground in the field. Michael Birkett's
"Marat/Sade" combined stage and
film techniques for a film having limited
but impressive appeal. Bruce Brown's
"The Endless Summer" was a
surprising
triumph for a motion picture shot in
16mm, although its success was partly
due to the photographic daring and to
the current interest in surfing.
John and Roy Boulting handled a
delicate subject so deftly in "The Family
Way," aided by an outstanding cast, that
other producer-directors might well emulate
them. Crude handling of such matters
can be offensive, appealing only to
patrons with bawdy tastes. Richard Burton
and Elizabeth Taylor, in their own
production effort, rendered Shakespeare's
poetic lines so beautifully that
any other faults in their "Taming of the
Shrew" should be overlooked. Moreover,
other cast members recited the bard as
seldom heard on stage or screen.
James Clavell combined racial tolerance
with juvenile delinquency in "To
Sir, With Love." largely because of Sidney
Poitier's poised performance. Bryan
Forbes demonstrated the flair British
have for making superior comedies, with
'The Wrong Bo.\." but this was not so
evident in Maurice Foster's, "The Jokers,"
some of whose subtleties were lost
on American audiences.
Melvin Frank's "A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to the Forum" struck
a broader note of humor, but seemed to
tickle the average patron's funnybone.
Lewis Gilbert's "Alfie" and Robert Goldston's
"Georgy Girl" had maudlin overtones,
but their emotional appeal was
tremendous because of the performanct^
of the stars. Harold Hecht's "The \\.i\
West" was a sagebrush drama in the
grand tradition, but had moments of confusion
in the action. Harry Keller's "Texas
Across the River" successfully combined
action with humor, delightfully
portrayed for those who live vicariously
with their screen heroes.
Ross Hunter's "Thoroughly Modern
Millie" is quite in line with his lush,
romantic productions — this one a nostalgic
extravaganza with special appeal
for women patrons. On the other hand,
Kenneth Hyman's grim, psychological
war drama. "The Dirty Dozen," has
more appeal for men and is tautly put
together. The same might be said of Marvin
Schwartz's "The War Wagon," a
gritty combination of western and lusty
humor.
One of the biggest surprises was Alan
Pakula's "Up the Down Staircase," in
which a humorous best-selling novel was
made into a powerful social-document
film that was not funny, but entertained
throughout. Claude Nejar's "The Shameless
Old Lady" was a foreign entry that
is on its way to becoming a film classic.
Sol C. Siegel's "Alvarez Kelly" combined
adventure, action and romance in a way
typical of old screen formulas.
Certainly there is something here for
every taste, and if it means anything to
future production, the high boxoffice
grossers of the season were as varied as
a kaleidoscope in pattern. Cycles come
and go, but the public taste changes only
to remain the same—as the old adage
says.

BOXOFFICE

DIRECTORS
The (iuidiiiu Hands ol the HiuiTer Hits
They Co-ordinate the Showmanship Ingredients
I
T is a moot question whether the stars
or the directors of motion pictures have
the greater impact on the boxoffice. Both
have their failures, but in that event the
stars can claim other elements as the
cause more rationally than can the directors.
The director is in a similar position
to
the surgeon whose operation was successful
— but the patient died.
Patrons differ in how they choose
cinema entertainment, aside from those
who go to the theatre that is most convenient.
Some — and more often these
are in the more sophisticated category —
tend to want to see works whose directors
they admire and have confidence in.
Others are avid followers of certain stars.
Once star power was the tail
that wagged
the dog in the motion picture wt>rkl.
While it has lost some of its appeal, it is
still something to be reckoned with in
every film.
When the director is given a story, he
has to decide how this
should be handled
to entertain the most patrons — unless
he is the kind of director who is primarily
an artist in his field and it is the kind
of story that can be geared for special
audiences. Then he must decide how he
can best tell the story — visually, combined
with the dialog — so thai he projects
the theme with the greatest impact.
The cast having been chosen, he must
fuse the characters they represent until
they read rather than aci in the unfolding
drama. Sometimes he succeeds beyond
his dreams—then again he fails to
realize them. If he learns from his failures,
he goes on to greater successes.
For the 1966-67 season, only one director
is credited with three top hits
Burt Kennedy. Kennedy also wrote the
screenplay for his "Welcome to Hard
Times" and co-authored the one for his
"Rclurn of the Seven." In fact, he came
