The boat featured gold fictures in the bathroom and a complete gym for guest comfort. While one and all cruised in splendor, the floating palace ran out of gas. The millionaire whose wells produce 50,000 barrels a day had a very red face. What was worse, nobody had any cash. So a relief party was sent ashore with credit cards to get the boat going again. * * * Producer-Director Stanley Kramer gave Virna Lisi an award for bravery after the actress completed a day’s shooting on “The Secret of Santa Vittoria”, found a night dentist who pulled an aching rear molar, and was back on the set bright and early the next morning. “It was a case of ‘The tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth,” Kramer declared. * * * When Oscar winner Sandy Dennis learned her newest picture “That Cold Day In The Park”, will be filmed in Canada, the first question she asked was “At what time of the year.” Told the picture roles in Vancouver in mid-October, Sandy sighed: “I won’t have to fake being chilly. By the time we finish it will be mid-winter and Canada after September is a mighty mighty cold place. I speak from exper¬ ience after filming ‘The Fox’ in Canada in January.” Whenever Cesar Romero has any spare time between scenes of filming Walter Shenson’s “A Talent For Loving” in Madrid, he works on a historical novel about his grandfather, Jose Marti, who was the liberator of Cuba in 1895. Romero is proud of the fact that a statue of his grandfather is in New York’s Central Park. He’s also delighted over the interest expressed by several major studios in screen version of the novel. * * * Although Stephen Boyd and Brigitte Bardot were hotter than the Spanish weather offscreen while filming Euan Lloyd’s $5,000,000 western “Shalako,” the action on screen is no less torrid. However, it’s between Boyd and Honor Blackman who literally roll in the hay (of a barnyard) until a charge of 2,000 angry Apaches drive them out. “It was a real pleasure with Honor.” Boyd asided. * * * Novelist, diplomat, soldier-of-fortune and now motion picture director Romain Gary, made a brief stop in Baker, Ore. to visit wife Jean Seberg on location with the “Paint Your Wagon” company before heading on to Hollywood to setup release plans for his initial feature motion pic¬ ture, “Birds In Peru.” Starring Jean the picture has kicked up more editorial fuss in French papers than any picture in the last 10 years. * * * Although some strawhat theatres dipped into the red ink this summer, the famed Theatre on the Mall in Sullivan, Ill. had a complete sellout for the two-week run of the Peter Marshall starrer “No Time For Sergeants.” The theatre seats 2,500 in a town of 4,000, and some fans came from as far north as St. Louis. * * * Director Bud Yorkin has been re¬ joicing in Paris where he is filming “Two Times Two.” The Picture is a period piece set in the days of Marie Antoinette and plenty of long-haired extras are needed. A raid on the Latin Quarter produced hundreds of hippies who sported real beards, and long hair. “It is saving thou¬ sands of dollars in makeup costs the director enthused. * * * In one of the biggest wardrobe ship¬ ments to a location in several years, Warner Bros.- Seven Arts has sent over 1000 items of wardrobe to the Chama, New Mexico, location of “The Good Guys and the Bad Guys.” The turn-of-the-century western drama stars Robert Mitchum and George Ken¬ nedy with Burt Kennedy directing in Technicolor and Panavision. Ronald M. Cohen and Dennis Shryack are producing and Robert Goldstein is the executive producer. * * * David Macklin, star of AIP’s “Young Animals,” is currently on a personal appearance tour with the film. Fans are asking the obvious question for the politi¬ cal season: who are you going to vote for in the presidential election 5 ? Finally, David cracked, “It doesn’t matter who I vote for - because Howard Hughes is going to buy the White House anyway!” Page 8
