The quickest way to commit
film hara-kfri is to work with
your husband. Even Rita Hay
worth-or maybe. especially, Rita
Hayworth. Husband No. 3. Prince
Ally Khan, starred with Rita in
Ia 16-millimeter number titled,
"Sofari So Good" which the pro-
ducer, Jackson Leighter. is in the
process Of releasing-over Colum-
bia Studios heated protests. The
other time Rita worked with a
husband didn't help either. "The

and starred in by husband No. 2,
Orson Welles, laid a big box -office

At this moment, Charlie Chap
lin has his wife Oona playing "a

Joan Fontaine's career was in
top gear when she formed a movie
company with her mate of that
day, William Dozier. Might have
been coincidence, but from that
point her star shone less brightly.
Maybe it was just the bad scripts,
but the partnership very definitely
did not help her. The same is true
for Rosalind Russell and Freddie

the return has been improbable.
Joan Bennett was doing fine for

HOLLYWOOD.

Maybe all Hollywood producers
should spend little time as la
borers on the studio back lot.
Because that's where producer
Stanley Kramer started at $18 a
week-and not too many years
ago. Look at him now. He's got
the best batting average in town
and recently was authorized by
the family to do a film biography
Iof Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Kramer is one Of the industry's
most unusual producers. He not
only pleases the critics, but also
the accountants who check the
boxof1ce figures.
The Kramer company was
formed only four years ago on one
|of the unsturdiest shoestrings in
Hollywood history. Since then he
has come up with Champion. :"
Home of the Brave" 1.-THE Men," :"
"Cyrano de Bergerac" and now
Death of Salesman"
The shoestring now has a $25
million pair Of shoes-that's the
size of a five-year deal he Just
made with Columbia Pictures. He
has signed Mary Pickford for
movie after 10 years retirement
from the screen.
No Horse for Hero. 4
He is so different that his first
Western. High Noen." does not
contain single shot of Hero Gary
Cooper on horse.
= His newest movie is ''The Four
Poster" in which Rex Harrison
and Lilli Palmer comprise the en-
tire cast and a bedroom the only
scene. The play. now a current
Broadway hit, was considered
radical even for the stage. Kramer
had even a tougher problem.
1.-THE movies censorship code
does not allow a married couple to
be shown in double bed at the
same time" means the 38-year-
old Kramer.
Let's take a look at the Kramer
style of picture-making. It's sol
simple that it's q wonder the in
dustry hasn't always used it.
Broadly, it's this:
Key personnel such as actors,
director, the cameraman and
others are called in weeks before
production begins. All problems
are whipped ON paper first. Next
