...discovery of Producer Ivan Tors, 50, who has besieged TV on land (Daktari), at sea (Flipper) and in the air (Ripcord). He is the king of the "beasties"-outdoor adventure films starring big-name big game. This month, as part of a 14-picture pact with Paramount, Tors released Africa-Texas Style, a semidocumentary with Hugh O'Brian as a cowpoke who hunts big game with a rope instead of a rifle.
