HOLLYWOOD.-Are movie
audiences getting fed up with
bigness on the theater
screens? Gregory Peck thinks
so.
BigneSs came In with a
bang when the movies suf-
fered the competition of the
small home screen. Holly
wood thought it had to give
the people larger scope. That
thinking brought on Cinema
Scope. Cinerama, Vista Vision,
Todd-AO and the type Of
films that could fill such i'm
menSe screens.
But too often the charac-
tiers got smaller as the scope
grew bigger. The time has
come to reverse the trend,
says Peck.
I'm fed up with crowd
scenes and spectacles." he re-
marked. Il don't think I could
stand to see a big West
ern now: the thought of
watching pioneers conquer
the frontier leaves me cold.
We've had too much of it.
II believe the time has
come to find out what goes
on inside of people, not on

THE Fugitive Kind" is the
occasion for her first ex-

She is living in a swank

Central Park. But she is
avoiding attention as much
as possible. The film comes
first.
So Far Away
Miss Magnani notes only
one difference between pic

would be so far away" she
says of the shooting center
which is in a backwater area

Black-tressed Anna is very
much the focal figure.
1.-THE Fugitive Kind" is by
Tennessee Williams, the
theater's ranking master Of
dramatic shock. He wrote 1t
for her in the first place.
She Demanded Lumet
The male lead is Marion
Brando, with whom Magnani
has long wanted to act.
The director is Sidney
Lumet, whom the lady de-
manded after viewing his
filming of Twelve Angry

At the top of the cast with
her and Brando is jeanne
Woodward. All three hold
Oscars.
Ironically playing a small
part is Maureen Stapleton.

way in two Williams scripts
originally designed for Mag
mani: 1.-THE Fugitive Kind"
which was known on Broad
way as "Orpheus Descend
ing" and THE Rose Tattoo"
Miss Stapleton sought her
present role in order to work
with the Italian star.
Miss Magnani, taking time
off the set between scenes,
discusses her methods and
the project with a mixture
of reserve-partly due to lin
guistic limitations and
fortnight directneSs.
Something Happens
"I never know how I will
play a scene beforehand"
she says. only to know the
character is important. Then
when l am on the set some
thing happens. 1t comes
out"
The spontaneous method,
she adds. disturbs those used
to more precise preparation.
"They call me monster"
says Anna. why do you
think this should be?"
She takes up her reputa-
ton as a volcano of tempera-
ment.
II am not temperamental,"
she insists. "It is just that /
am a great respector of art
and talents. To me art is
everything"
Recently she attended a
performance of Sweet Bird

Broadway hit. Would she ever
seek the role performed by
