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.
