There she was, sounding like a sightseeing bus driver. Actress-Singer Ann-Margret, 34, had come to Paris for a part in Director Claude Chabrol's new movie Crazy Bourgeoisie, a pillow comedy co-starring Bruce Dern and Stephane Audran. Between scenes for her cameo role as a philandering translator, the actress did some Paris sightseeing. "Wherever you go there are always these fabulous restaurants or monuments or boutiques," she commented, displaying her celebrated eye for detail. Ann-Margret added that she had picked up at least one extravagant souvenir during her travels-a mink coat for Husband-Manager...

No matter that Won Ton Ton bears a striking resemblance to another German shepherd screen star of the same era. A Los Angeles judge has already decided against a producer of the Rin Tin Tin television series...
...greater excesses of violence. It moves like a marauding army. Not only are people trampled and windows broken, but fires start, telephone poles fall, and Hollywood Boulevard seems to shake.
