MRS. WERNER, Canton, Ohio
Alice bung up her champagne glass and toed a nightclub

birth, which film won her an Oscar, and where I can write

DEAR DICK: Please settle our argument. What is the

like: “Boys awake less mellow plays." Could you clarify?

Usually, it’s the last line that people don’t get. The first
line to: “Boy, the way Glenn Miller played.” And, in case
you are very young, Glenn Miller was a great bandleader

HOLLYWOOD- (NE A )-
John Shaner and Al Ramrus
write for movies, they write
for television, and now
they’ve written a book which
will become a movie and it,
too, will probably end up on
television some day.
Only problem with the
book is that it has come
along about 25 years too late.
It’s a book, splashy, spectac-
ular story. It’s called "The
Ludendorff Pirates” and it’s
about a small band of brave
and daring men who hijack a
German battleship during
World War II.
It’s been sold (to Levy-
Gardner-Laven» for a mov-
ie. But Shaner and Ramrus
realize the problem is that,
to do the plot justice, you'd
need a huge budget and lots
of spectacular shots and big
production — and that's all
DEAR DICK: I heard that Tina Louise wasn’t going to
be on the two-hour TV movie of “Gilligan’s Island”
because she wanted more money and they wouldn't give it
to her. And also that the cast didn't want her on the show
anyway because she was so nasty. Is this really true? I
hope not. L.G. PRICE, Verona, Mo.
Money may have had something to do with it — if they
had offered her a couple of million she might have said yes
— but she didn't really want to do the part again. She feels
that she has gone beyond the silliness of Ginger, and
doesn’t want to recreate that image again. There were
always some ill feelings on that show, but for the good of
the venture, they would have welcomed her back.

an oddity — a book set in
today's world, dealing with
“the beautiful people," and
yet totally clean and free
from explicit sex scenes.
It’s “Crystal Clear,” and
Hollywood is very interested
in it. They may have to
inject some sex, because
whoever heard of that kind
of movie without a bit of
raunch. The authors — Earl
Blackwell, of the Celebrity
Service Blackwells, and Eu-
genia Sheppard, a noted
fashion reporter and colum-
nist — recognize the inevita-
bility of that happening. It
doesn't particularly please
them, but they realize
there's little they can do
about it.
Blackwell, who knows
more about celebrities than
probably anybody else, says
that celebrities are chang-
ing, but predicts there will
always be celebrities.
"A celebrity,” he says, “is
someone whose name alone
is sufficient to identify him.
We will always have people
who fit that definition, but
they may be in different
fields. Watergate made a lot
of celebrities."
Blackwell despises the
term. "beautiful people,”
but says he feels the public

too expensive today.
"It should be a big
movie," Ramrus says. “It is
our tribute to the great mov-
ies we saw as kids at the
Tuxedo Theater in The
Bronx. And you just can't
make those movies today."
But Levy-Gardner-Laven
Plan to do it, on a $10 million
budget, which is really mod-
erate for this kind of film.
As writers in every medi-
um, the team have evolved
their own theory about what
works where.
“We believe,” Shaner
says, “that the only things
TV can't do are comedies —
because the success of com-
edy depends on the infec-
tiousness of audience laugh-
ter — and spectacles. So
when we write for the big
screen, that’s what we
write.”
Outside of those two types
of entertainment, however,
TV can do as well or better
than features, they believe.
And they point to the recent
big screen film, “An Unmar-
ried Woman," as proof of
their hypothesis.
“An Unmarried Woman,”
which has been getting criti-
cal raves, is the story of a
woman whose husband an-
says Hamilton.
Maybe so, especially the
way Kaufman wrote this one
and the way Hamilton is
p‛ lying him. This Dracula is
a lover as much as he is a
monster. He is also a prac-
ticing male chauvinist, and
everybody connected with
the film is certain the active
women’s libbers will despise
it. The film takes the posi-
tion that the male should be
the dominant one and that
females, generally, desire
that domination.
“Genetically," Hamilton
says, "the man is provider
and protector. I don’t care if
women’s libbers don’t like
the picture. Too many men
are weak with women, and
the women are angry. It’s certainly more than

DEAR DICK: I have seen “Back Street” with Margaret
Sullavan and Charles Bayer, and a remake with Susan
Hayward and John Gavin. Wasn’t there an earlier version
in the '39s with Irene Dunne? Who was her leading man,
and haw can I get the networks to run it? I have always
wondered who decides which old movies to run, and if it is
possible for viewers to make a request. RUTH, Lompoc,
Calif.
Yes, the original “Back Street” dates from 1932, and it
starred Irene Dunne and John Boles. The Boyer-Sullavan
version came out in '41, and the Hayward-Gavin edition in
’51.1 doubt you will have much luck in getting the original
shown on TV; after all, it is 46 years old, and could only be
a curiosity today. Old films, such as on the late shows, are
selected by the programing people at local stations. They
are not network programs. So contact your local station,
ask for the head of programming, and make your request
to him.
