| (Pl.-Primo Camera, former
heavyweight boxing champion
has sued Columbia Pictures fol-
SIS million. charging invasion
of privacy in the film The Hard

The big athlete contends the
picture has caused him to be
subjected to Scorn and ridicule
and that as a result of it he has
lost the respect and admiration
of many friends.
The suit said that although its
makers claim the films hero

such because of his build and
weight. Moreno is characterized
as a stupid person, unable to
conduct business affairs, the suit
alleged.
The suit also names as a
