Every now and then. how

Then we run across Mr..

Big Money Talk
It has to do with the vast
amount Of talk that has been
going around for months
about the cost Of that big
MGM picture. The sums
mentioned have ranged from
a mere IS or $6 million to
"the most expensive motion
picture ever made in this
country" Either amount rep
resents a feeling on MGM's
part that nothing is too good,
or costly, for moviegoers.
This is quite a contagious
idea and moviegoers are
quick to adopt it, not always
to the mutual happiness of
both parties.
AS a matter of fact, talk
ing extravagantly about costs
is an old practice among max
ers of entertainment, theater
and film producers for a long
time, and more recently those
rich upstarts in television.
In the instance of televi-
sion, there was a recent Sum-
day when it banded words
about the vast sums being
spent that one day and night
to make America happy, or
something. The reaction Of

Character Test
This household felt 1t was
quite q test Of character to
scorn q fortune in Steve Al
lens Jokes and Ed Sulliyan's
guests.
However, to return to
"Raintree County" as the
specific illustration Of the ef-
feet of all this talk about
money. 1t seems to us that in
a period as hard and cyni-
cal as this one that the man
who mentions how much
something costs challenges
the ultimate consumer to
start thinking how much it
is worth.
This can be a perilous
combination of cause and
effect in an area where true
values are not expressable in
dollars.
Actually, it is quite un-
necessary to point out that
"Raintree County" is an ex-
pensive picture. Its running
time of more than three
hours. its production in the
Camera IS process. the size
Of its cast and the number Of
its stars and featured play
ers make it clea rthat the
budget was a whopper.
1t is quite clearly on the
scale of "The Ten Command
ments," which cost more
than 81 million per Com
mandment, and of "War
and Peace" whose budget
would have financed a Gin
emaScopish conflict back in
the time Of the ambitious
Napoleon. Wars, like every
thing else. were cheaper then.
Consumer QuerulOus
In his contemplation Of
the two things, costs and
values, the consumer can
work himself into q state of
querulousness that might be
avoided If the former were
less stressed.
Fewer moviegoers, for in
stance, might be asking why
a less pallid performer than
Evening star., 1957-11-03

Montgomery Cliff could not
be found for q picture on
which q studio was gambling
all those millions. The an
swer. Of course, is that neither
Director Edward Dmytryk nor
anyone else associated with
"Raintree County" knew in
advance what kind Of per-
formance Mr.. Cliff would
give as John Shaughnessy,
the screenplay's hero.
Actually. when he was
injured in an automobile
mishap after signing for the
picture, there were those
around the studio who would
have been happy to see Mr..
Cliff replaced. This, If only
for the reason that the pic
ture costs went on while he
recovered. But nothing could
be done. for several reasons.
Three Of these are that stars
are hard to find, commit
ments difficult to break and
that one does not make i'm
pulsive moves with so much
at stake.
Some Values Evident
There are visible values in
"Raintree County," its pic
torial impact among the most
vivid Of them. On this score
Camera IS in the hands Of
Director Dmytryk and Cam
eraman Robert Surtees turns
the huge production into a
screen spectacular.
This, however, nor the
combination of several others,
compensates for the dramatic
values that are missing.
It is this that brings US
back to the idea for Mr..
Johnston that he might care
to suggest to Hollywood that
it defer all talk of picture
costs until worth has been
determined.
OF course, he might counter
that this will be several years
hence by which time Rain
tree County" may have made
IS million profit in spite Of
critics.

he replied. IF my name
