Irving Berlin declines big film life tale yet TV tribute looms
Hollywood reports Irving Berlin refused a $1,000,000 film bid from Joseph Schenck saying he does not want his life as a movie.

It notes Fox’s nab of Robert Wagner and Debra Paget, Merle Oberon’s flamenco scene, MGM shelving Rogue Cop at police request, and other industry chatter.
