...paddle. This footless, episodic epic on the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha tries to crowd everything in Buddhist literature into one elephantine moving picture. The parallels between Japan's first bid for a slice of the supermovie market and the Biblical pageantry of Samuel Bronston and Dino de Laurentiis are numbing: skyscraper temples to sinister gods, unseen choirs zum-zumming on the sound track, corps of nimble nautch dancers in every other reel. And when it comes to uplifting the masses or spreading the gospel, Buddha's producers are no more missionary than the others. They...

...rough-and-tumble reconstruction made way for new men and new ideas. Wily Dino de Laurentiis, who has revitalized Italy's film industry by making movies (War and Peace, Attila) with international casts and the specific purpose of tapping international markets, is the son of a small Neapolitan pasta manufacturer. In Britain, neither George Harriman, who as head of British Motor Corp. is the United Kingdom's biggest automaker, nor Financier Charles Clore, who has won fame as London's "Takeover King," can boast the once-traditional public school and university background...
