HECDRD ROUNDUP By DICK BRUCE Barry Sullivan was a daily handball fiend at a local athletic club while visiting Manhattan. Paired off with John Sutton, they trounced Bruce Cabot and Eddie Bracken every game . . . The so-called "Gorgeous Gabors" have made concrete plans to film a semidocumentary comedy-drama in Gotham starring themselves — Zsa Zsa, Eva, Magda and "Mama" Jolie — in a plot based on their individual and collective "careers." Night club, movie and TV players who make any attempt to malign any of the Gabors with impressions or impersonations, will be hailed into court, or so goes the Gabors' new edict. Legal advisers to many performers who ape the colorful Hungarian celebrities, say none of the Gabors, from Eva to Zsa Zsa have a leg to stand on . . . The Vic Damone-Marge and Gower Champion "situation" is going to remain touchy for some time to come and their mutual friends, Tony and Janet Leigh Curtis, are in the middle trying to be loyal to both parties. Insiders report the dancing Champions and the song star Damone, will never appear in the same filmusical together, not if they can help it. The whole matter exploded over a matter of billing and presentation at a night club in the East where both acts were starring attractions. Signed by the cafe operator first, Damone had the edge on the Champions and rightly so. Nevertheless it created a wide split in their former friendly alliance . . . Joan Crawford celebrated the completion of her musical, "Torch Song," by wiring flowers to all of her Gotham friends who had gathered at "21" to await a long-distance telephone call from her and her director, Charles "Chuck" Walters, the last night of production. Having brought the picture in under a one million dollar budget (unheard of for a topflight musical in color and widescreen at MGM) within a record number of days shooting — three weeks exactly — thoughtful Joan wanted her New York friends to be part of the movie set party being given by her on the back lot at MGM. Everyone in New York had to talk to everyone on the "Torch Song" set and they did for $137.00 . . . END CURRENT FILMS [CONTINUED FROM PACE 17] by sheriff Brod Crawford. Apprehending the thieves, Bickford shoots them before Crawford can bring them safely back to town. Enraged, Crawford claims that Bickford used a similar trick to kill Derek's real father. To silence the sheriff, Bickford shoots him, but in turn is killed by Derek. Concentrating most of the action on the chase, picture gallops along at a fast pace with Bickford and Crawford scuffling for top acting honors and Derek and Wanda Hendrix handling the romance.
