S FROM PARAMOUNT TO YOU!
Tracy, Robert Wagner and Claire Trevor; Bob Hope’s surefire new comedy THAT CERTAIN FEELING, based on the Broadway hit KING OF HEARTS, with last year’s Oscar winner, Eva (ON THE WATERFRONT) Marie Saint; and Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense masterpiece, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, costarring James Stewart and Doris Day and made in colorful French Morocco, London and Hollywood. I saw a great TV star be¬ come an even greater new him personality when I was superbly entertained by George Gobel in THE BIRDS AND THE BEES, with scintillating Mitzi Gaynor and David Niven. Three more talented newcomers des¬ tined to help hll the industry’s need tor fresh young stars, namely Carol Ohmart, Jody Lawrance and Tom Tryon, come through strongly under the skilled directorial hand of Michael Curtiz in the dramatic THE SCARLET HOUR.
Among the pictures in actual pro¬ duction at our studio are the new Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis big outdoor comedy PARDNERS and THE LEATHER SAINT, an unusual story which has been favorably compared with GOING M^^ WAY. Shooting starts soon on the big, exciting Audrey Hepburn-Ered Astaire musical FUNNY FACE; two pictures to be pro¬ duced by Hal Wallis and starring Burt Lancaster, namely THE RAINMAKER and GUNEIGHT AT THE O K CORRAL. In the latter Kirk Douglas will be co-starred with Lancaster; the colorful LOVES Oh OMAR KHAYYAM, co-starring Cornel Wilde, Trevor Howard, John Derek, Debra Paget and Raymond Massey and many other important attractions presenting in top roles such stars as Alan Ladd, Donald O’Connor, Marlon Brando, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and others of similar prominence.
To insure the flow of high quality Para¬ mount product we have purchased in the
j)ast few months a host of exceptionally fine stories. These include such popular books as GERTRUDE LAWRENCE AS MRS. A., THE SEARCH FOR BRIDEY MURPHY, THE CAPTAIN’S TABLE, FEAR STRIKES OUT, THE GOLDEN JOURNEY, FLAMINGO FEATHER, FROM AMONGST THE DEAD and THE JOKER IS WILD. Our play pur¬ chases include the current Broadway hits THE CHALK GARDEN and THE MATCHMAKER and also LI’L ABNER, GIRLS OF SUMMER, Eugene O’Neill’s DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS, and Tennessee Williams’ SUMMER AND SMOKE. Our biographical acquisitions in¬ clude KITTY HAWK (The Wright Bro¬ thers), LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and THE BUSTER KEATON STORY. Addi¬ tionally we plan filming a number of superior original stories especially created by top¬ flight writers. Negotiations for several addi¬ tional projects of major importance are nearing conclusion.
All of our pictures will of course be in VistaVision and mostly in Technicolor.
Paramount believes devotedly in the brilliant and prosperous future of the motion picture as still the greatest form of mass world entertainment ever conceived. In that spirit we are investing the largest sum of money in our history and our entire resources of talents and energy and showmanship to the creation of important pictures of the highest artistic and boxoffice levels for the continuous profits and prosperity of our customers everywhere. Our goal and promise are to surpass in 1956 and 1957 the high boxoffice quality of product which we have achieved in the past two years. I have every confidence, based on pictures finished or planned, that we will succeed.
