3 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, January 1 1958 , Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBT United Preu Correspondent m www Aline Mosby Hollywood U.R) Should Hollywood producers make movies about narcotics? Robert Mitchum said minus t n e y should. The film colony c u r r ently is torn by a siz zling contro versy over Hoi lywood's first picture on a dope ad dict, "The Man With the Golden Arm." . . . The Motion Picture Pro ducers' Association (with major studios as members) refused its seal of approval in line with a 25:year-old. taboo on the subject of narcotics. Spokesman Eric Johnston said the film "never should have been made." But major films on narcotics came under the approving scru tiny today to Mitchum, . wh once served a jail sentence him self on a marijuana charge. Problem Concealed o "Why not make such movies?" shrugged the actor, "I can un derstand Eric Johnston picking on some story about a private detective, but I don't see what s the objection to this film. don't know of any problem aid ed by concealment ancP ignor ance." But other opinions have been voiced against "The Man With the Golden Arm." Paramount head Y. Frank Freeman stated the MPAA code should be ad hered to. Ore local TV station and two radio stations refused to accent ads for the movie Dai?y Variety, a trade paper, ed itorialized that the film is "an (gflmoral picture." However, the Legion of De cency, which reviews films for Catholics, did hot condemn the picture. It was given a "B" rat ing, meaning, objectionable in part. Beliefs Aired ' On a recent TV program, . producer Jerry Wald and direc tor Otto Preminger battled over the picture. '; Preminger who made "The Man With the Golden Arm," argued the . narcotics problem can be helped by publicizing the subject . because, "Young people are curious about a veil of secrecy." Wald charged the movie was "an untrue portrait of an - addict's ability to cure himself." . Twentieth Century Fox re cently purchased a Broadway play about narcotics, "Hatful of Rain." A spokesman says the dope angle will be eliminated from the film. But insiders be lieve the studio hopes the MPAA production code will be amend ed by the time the picture is made in 1957.
