Up shot the Moynihan Mephistophelean eyebrow. With mock outrage he fulminated: "Boy, this campaign is getting rough. I might call you a businessman...
...GUMBALL RALLY is a car stunt comedy about an informal but highly ritualized coast-to-coast race. The competition, organized by a bored businessman (Michael Sarrazin), is joined by a loose freemasonry of friends, rivals and fellow speed freaks.

Now cast as the wife of an overly ambitious businessman, Peters played real-life wife for 14 years to Industrialist Howard Hughes, no second banana when it came to ambition. "It's a cameo role," concedes the actress, who still collects $50,000 each year as part of her 1971 divorce settlement from Hughes. "I'm older...
