...James Bond has saved the day again. But this time he needed help from a boy wizard - and the tax code. After a slump that had the muggles using words like crisis and disaster, Britain's film industry is back and (almost) better than ever. Films like Casino Royale and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix have made 2006 the second-best year on record for the industry.

...Loren; in Geneva. Though trained as a lawyer, the movieman clashed several times with the law in his native Italy, most famously when he tried to wed Loren, whom he had met when she was a teenage beauty contestant. The couple first attempted their marriage in 1957, but the bond was annulled because Ponti had previously been married, and divorce was not yet legal in Italy. The two successfully wed in Paris...
