Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 01, 1949, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press monday August 1, 1949 thin is the last of a series of e written by Hollywood for Frank Morross. Gary Cooper it up and Frank resumes his column tomorrow. Is an old line that s j. Been kicking around Holly Wood for Many years that actors Are unable to pick their own stories and actors who mess in production of motion pictures have usually busted themselves and Given great satisfaction to some production geniuses of Hollywood. In the past there we re a couple of out standing proofs of this line of thinking. I have heard mentioned Charles Ray who shot his personal Bank Roll of Over a Mil lion dollars on one picture and lost it All and others who went into production and got snarled up in a similar manner. Today Hollywood disproves this line. A great Many actors have quite a lot to say about what Pic Tures they appear in. One can name Many exploits and end u with Lawrence Olivier who Woun up with quite a hat full of award for production directing and Aci ing in 1948 with his Hamlet. An actor feels that he kno quite a bit More about motion up Tures than just his own Job interpretation of roles. He reaties that Good motion pictures require near perfection in direction Veit ing and production. J he feels that he is not Ojoy cog in an important and in pres Sive wheel but his Jung ment of what the Public to see is perhaps As Gow As any one else s. T believe that today most actors like Rny self read and pict Story material for its Over All Story in Terest and dramatic value and not just How Good is my part in the Best stories i read i have found interesting s stories first and the them sort of secondary to the Over All yarn. So with a fair of Confidence i up and nought a Book called the on the via Flaminia by Alfred Hayes which has since a Best seller and which his what i consider a and important Story to Tell about i s on Foreia soil. Then i or. Hayle to come out Here and do in adaptation for the screen of his Book so that we could bal sure his original con would not be distorted. I Dindl buy this Story for my self particularly but i feel that it is a Story that should be brought to the screen just As much As i Felt that the Fountainhead was a Story Al hich the Public should see. I Hafl nothing to do with buying Fountainhead it was already by Warner Brothers who to make it when the time was Ripe and knowing some of the Public s reaction to this by ayn Rand i Felt that i waited to be in that picture. Fortunately for me Warner Brothers agreeable that i play in it. Knew that the subject of Thi Book was highly controversial. They know it will be condemned but that it will also be praised for its bold individualistic stand As Well As its unusual romantic drama. Like the girl on the via Flamina it says Gary Cooper what it has to say without fear or restraint. Both stories Are about what people Are and How they react to different daily life and a War time life. The same thing applies to task Force a film about Nav Al Carrier aviation. I particularly wanted to do the role of the Navy officer who had Confidence in the Powers of car Rier aviation through the years because it is the kind of a role that i can feel strongly about. I also Felt that the colourful his tory of Carrier aviation can be pretty exciting at this time. Luck for me again Warner Brothers agreed with me. And i got the role anyway i m just trying to poin out that an actor likes to see a Story brought to the medium he has chosen when that Story has insight and strength.
