RITT AND FILM FAMILY BRING IN ''HOMBRE'! Potent blocks of talent-power have developed in Hollywood which are responsible for the big strides in making motion pictures today. Director-producer Martin Ritt has completed his sixth film starring Paul Newman, ''Hombre,'' which opens at . It is a product of collaboration by co-producer Irving Ravetch who wrote the screenplay with his wife, Harriet Frank, Jr. This group first joined forces in 1958 when they created''The Long, Hot Summer.'' Their last project before "'Hombre'' was the highly acclaimed ''Hud.'! Newman plays the hombre in ''Hombre,'' a 20th Century-Fox release. It is the story of a white man raised by the Apaches until he is more Indian than white. He rejects his own people and their way of life only to discover suddenly the salvation of a group of hostile whites is in his hands alone. Newman shares stellar honors with Fredric March, Richard Boone and Diane Cilento. Also co-starring are Cameron Mitchell, Barbara Rush and Martin Balsam. Ritt accepted the full challenge of the screenplay's loud cry for the jagged, bold and dangerous setting in the Arizona mountains. He made arrangements to take his company into the altitudes of heat and high winds. But he hadn't bargained for the hard run of bad luck fighting illness, injury and foul weather that resulted in delays and discomfort. Now that it is all behind them, however, this very element of fighting for survival has given the film a sense of realism which the cast and technicians are the first to applaud with pride. Filming in Panavision and DeLuxe Color started at Old Tucson. After two weeks, the company moved 50 miles southeast and 5,200 feet up in the Santa Rita Mountains. Here, literally clinging to a cliff, was the film's mine set -constructed on the site of the old King Mine. Most every member of the production company for many years has shared and enjoyed Ritt's dedication to producing great films. And his urgency to explore and find new ways of getting the script on film in the most dramatic, entertaining way possible appears to be the common denominator known to every member of Ritt's film family. i WINING IN EN AN NAN
