  1. In case anyone would like to see the NY Times article: “Inside the Movie Kingdom,” a 90‐minute candid report on filmmaking around the world, will be televised March 20 at 9:30 P.M. by the National Broadcasting Company. About 45 stars will appear on the show according to Milton Fruchtman, producer, who said the names would be listed alphabetically. The stars include Julie Andrews, Carroll Baker, Ingrid Bergman, Melvyn Douglas, James Garner, Gregory Peck, Anthony Perkins, Anthony Quinn and Debbie Reynolds. The program, produced by Sextant, Inc., in association with the editors of Life magazine, was filmed on and off movie sets in Hollywood, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Istanbul, Tokyo and elsewhere. Mr. Fruchtman said no scenes had been staged and there would be no interviews with the stars. The purpose of the show, the producer explained, was to depict the actual production of movies and offer glimpses of stars in off‐stage activities. For instance, there is a shot in which Miss Bergman sits in her dressing room and talks to a make‐up man about the press's invasion of privacy as she is being prepared for a scene in “The Visit,” filmed in Rome. Last week Mr. Fruchtman set up five cameras in the Beverly Hills home of Miss Baker and filmed a party attended by movie celebrities. “This will give the television audience an idea of what creative people do in their spare time,” the producer said. Mr. Fruchtman said 150 miles of film had been shot for “Inside the Movie Kingdom,” but only a mile and a half will get on television. Twelve film editors are laboriously selecting the best mile and a half. Norman Corwin, who gained fame as a radio writer in the nineteen‐thirties and went on to movie and stage writing, will write the script for “Inside the Movie Kingdom.” Mr. Fruchtman said he was negotiating with “a working movie star” to be the host of the show, which will be sponsored, in alphabetical order, by Best Foods, Colgate‐Palmolive and P. Lorillard Company. * With United States Surgeon General Luther L. Terry scheduled to issue a report Saturday on smoking and its relation to health, special news programs on the subject will be televised that evening by N.B.C. and the Columbia Broadcasting System. “Smoking and Health,” the N.B.C. show, will be presented from 7:30 to 8:30. The program in preparation for several months, will include statements by authorities in medicine and scientific research. The C.B.S. program will be televised from 7 to 7:30 with Harry Reasoner as anchor man. The network said “C.B.S. Reports” was also preparing a program on smoking and health that would be presented in the next few weeks.
