Hollywood books drive film bids as studios scout slim picks
Hollywood notes that most new books are war or political history and Europe offers little. Paramount led literary buys with 283000 for Lady in the Dark and Columbia paid 225000 for My Sister Helen, while Life With Father rights loom. Cheaper adaptations around 15000 to 25000 may yield bigger profits, as studios push craftmanship over topical fare and attend expositions with stars on view. Actors and exhibitors gather for a convention signaling renewed industry effort and unity.
