Says Reds Need U.S. Movies By VERNON SCOTT UFI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood (UPD - Gary Coop er exchanged his "yep" and "nope", with "da" and "nyet" for six days in Russia where he saw everything except a Soviet movie. As a combination tourist movie exchange celebrity, the long-legged star checked in at the theater, ballet and opera, rode the subways, lived it up in restaurants and went com pletely unrecognized. "The Russiansjiaven't seen an American movie in 25 years," Coop grinned. "They wouldn't recognize any Holly wood actors. 1 "A few of the officials and big shots in the theatrical world remembered me but that was about it. From my personal observation, I'd say the best thing that could hap pen in Russia is the showing of American movies." ' Film Draws Raves '' Cooper was on hand for the first showing of "Marty"-the 1955 Oscar winner-which re ceived rave reviews from Mos cow critics. "Dubbing the Russian lan guage into the film was ter rific," Cooper acknowledged, 'but it was amazing to listen to Ernest. Borgnine spouting Russian." : , . ' ' The big guy expressed pity for the Russians. . "Everyone is sort of grim over there," he said. "You don't see much smiling going on. Maybe it's because they haven't had much to smile about in the past 40 years. They work plenty hard, and I guess that's about all they have to do with themselves. "For some reason I got the feeling that the people must know what is going on in the outside world. But that's im possible. The only news they get is what the bigwigs want them to know."

I saw a test film of their new 70-millimeter film process. Pretty good. Looks a lot like our Todd-AO gimmick. "I'm still sorting out my feelings about the trip. Russia is rebuilding from the war. Their housing projects look good, but I don't know if they'll ever catch up with the shortage. "The politicians m a y be thinking about war, but the people all talk about peace. Actually, I feel sorry for the Russians. They seem to know there are better places in the world, but they don't know what to do about it."
