WHEN Winter comes to California, film folk seek diversion out of town and divide their fun time between the snow-clad mountains and the various oases in the desert.
While many stars like Claudette Colbert, who is really a ski enthusiast, will make a bee-line for Big Bear and the surrounding mountain ranges, the majority
