Column Items One of the most distinguished of England's fine crop of stage stars with Robert Mitchum in the Columbia Pictures release, ‘Anzio,’ in Panavision and Technicolor, is Patrick Magee as a general who wants to move his men forward to immediate liberation of Rome after the Anzio landings.

After putting up a “Non Disturbare” sign at his door, he went to bed, “As soon as I hit the sack,” he said, “someone began pounding on the door.” It turned out to be the maid. “Signor Mitchum,” she said affectionately in Italian, ‘you can sleep late today. I saw the sign.” she te se PS bg * Since it wasn't in the script, director Edward Dmytryk relegated to the cutting room floor his first ‘take’ of the landing scene in Dino de Laurentiis’ epic war drama starring Robert Mitchum and a large cast. The scene showed 6-foot-4 Wayde Preston, followed by other American Rangers and war correspondent Mitchum, leaping out of a landing craft as the bow opened. Preston fell head over heels into the sea. Dmytryk had no comment to offer, but Mitchum did. “Well,” said Mitchum as he helped the thoroughly soaked co-star, ‘‘you sure made a big splash in that scene.” POQLV QL LOL QL QL QL QQ LOLOL OOOO QOOIOOOOOO OOOO LOLOL OOO OL COD Movie-making is truly international as is proved by the new-film offer Robert Mitchum received while starring in Dino de Laurentiis’ “Anzio,” Columbia Pictures release in Panavision and Technicolor. “They asked me to do an American western in Yugoslavia, “he said, “with an Italian cast and crew, Yugoslav extras and horses from Hungary.” When Mitchum asked for the script he was told it was not yet ready—it was being translated from the Polish! Edward Dmyiryk cut into Rome's ‘‘capelloni’ population while filming Dino de Laurentiis’ epic war drama, “Anzio,” the Columbia Pictures release in Panavision and Technicolor. “Capelloni” is the Italian word for those young people who effect Beatle-style haircuts. The director had issued a casting call for several hundred extras to appear as American and British soldiers in battle scenes. Among the applicants who showed up were about 80 capelloni. Dmytryk offered them a week's work, but only if they would permit studio barbers to give them G.I. haircuts. Some 50 agreed. But the others preferred not to part with their cherished locks. ste te ste 7" oS Reni Santoni, who co-stars with Robert Mitchum in Dino de Laurentiis’ “Anzio,” epic war drama, was a horse racing handicapper at 17 for a New Jersey newspaper, writing under the name of “Speedball.” While filming the Columbia Pictures release in Panavision and Technicolor, in Italy, Reni enjoyed his luckiest racing season, picking winners at Rome’s Torre de Valle track.
