Hollywood report lists 317 films eligible for best picture in 1968 the most since 1962. Only five will be nominated and several foreign titles and stars appear in contention as the Oscar races approach with risk of surprises and snubs.
Earl Wilson reports on Rowan and Martin preparing their first MGM produced movie since Laugh-In. The project, tentatively titled The Strange Case Of, will be a straight murder mystery in the vein of The Cat and the Canary, with no body painting or blackouts, then a Belafonte tour before returning to TV.
Hollywood composer Dimitri Tiomkin, now executive producer on the Russian American co production Tchaikowsky, says $18 million will be spent to film the life of the composer. Filming is set to begin in June with sequences in Venice, Florence, Paris and Cambridge. Russians back the project hoping for a hit in the United States and Europe.
The producer has made 16 trips to Moscow each four to six weeks, returning to London or Hollywood between runs. His skill in speaking Russian as a native helps him navigate coproduction attempts that others failed. He targets a November release with subtitles rather than dubbing, noting subtitles succeed for foreign language films.
