Jefferds joined the Disney fold in 1951 as head of U.S. Merchandising, and in December 1967, was made Director of Marketing Services. In February 1969, he was elected Vice-President-Sales Promotion, which title he has held since that date. PARAMOUNT NEWS Howard W. Koch will direct and produce “Badge 373,” the further experiences of Eddie Egan, former New York City detective, whose exploits were the basis for the film “The French Connection.” “Badge 373” has a screenplay by Pete Hamill and will begin filming in New York this month. Producer Steve Shagan has signed Marvin Hamlisch to score and conduct the music for the Jack Lemmon starrer, “Save the Tiger.” Hamlisch, who wrote the music for “Kotch,” was nominated for an Academy Award for best original song. Paramount will distribute the film Version of Alistair MacLean’s novel, “Fear is the Key” in the Western hemisphere. Set in Louisiana, “Fear” focuses on a tough agent who seeks revenge on a gang of jewel thieves who have killed his family. Barry Newman and Suzy Kendall star and Michael Tuchner directed from a screenplay by Robert Carrington for producers Alan Ladd, Jr. and Jay Kantor. Elliot Kästner is exec producer. MacLean has written many best-selling books which have been turned into films including “The Guns of Navarone” and “Ice Station Zebra.” Three distinct talents are uniting in the production of “Phase IV,” story of an outpost confrontation between man and other forms of life. Paul Radin, producer of “Living Free,” will produce; Saul Bass, who won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject for “Why Man Creates,” will direct; and Mayo Simon, who wrote the screenplay for “Marooned,” wrote the original screenplay for “Phase IV.” Film will begin shooting abroad next month. Reuniting for “Addie Pray” are some formidable talents brought together by producer-director Peter Bogdanovich. Frank Marshall, who has been general assistant to Bogdanovich on every film he has made since “Targets,” has been named associate producer. Polly Platt will again act as production designer, a chore she has performed on all Peter’s films, and Lazslo Kovacs will handle the cinematography. He did likewise on “Targets” and “What’s Up, Doc?”. “Addie Pray,” starring Ryan O’Neal, is the story of a shrewd 11-year-old Southern orphan girl who becomes the confederate of a con man named Long Boy Pray. Leonard Goldberg will join Douglas S. Cramer as co-producer with Cramer on “Who’s Been Murdering In My Bed,” mystery suspense film scheduled to begin filming this fall. Following “Bed,” the Douglas S. Cramer Company has “Different Strokes,” a comedy on Contemporary marriage, on the schedule. Original screenplay is by Bernard Slade who also scripted “Stand Up and Be Counted” for producer Mike Frankovich. Mark Montgomery, who makes his film debut as the Leather Apron Boy in Jack L. Warner’s “1776”, copped another plum role. Mark will be seen as Schroeder in the Hallmark Hall of Farne special, “You’re a Good Man Charley Brown” which will be telecast on NBC on Valentine’s Day, 1973. Meantime, Mark is looking forward to attending his first premiere when “1776” opens on December 20 at the National Theatre in Westwood. Al Silvani, member of the “Lost Horizon” production Company, left for Copenhagen last month where he trained Tom Boggs for his middleweight championship fight with Carlos Monzon. The vet fight trainer and assistant director is now training the Danish Olympic boxing team. It pays to have more than one vocation, especially in Hollywood. “The New Centurions,” film Version of LAPD Sgt. Joe Wambaugh’s best-selling novel, starring George C. Scott and Stacy Keach, had its world premiere August Ist at the Hollywood Cinema Theatre. The black-tie event was sponsored by SERVE for the LAPD’s Youth Program and was attended by stars Scott and Keach, producers Robert Chartoff and Irwin Winkler, LAPD Chief Ed Davis, Mayor and Mrs. Sam Yorty, author Wambaugh, and a host of other celebrities.
