Paris was packed for the premiere of the new Rex Harrison film, A Flea in Her Ear with a lengthy list of notables including Maria Callas, Dewi Sukarno, and, of course, Dick and Liz. An aspiring young French actress like Geneviève Gilles, 20, would ordinarily be lost in that flashy crowd. But Geneviève arrived on the arm of Darryl F. Zanuck, 66, who has promoted the careers of such stars as Bella Darvi, Juliette Greco and Irina Demick. And Zanuck has already made Geneviève something of a star. He directed the 23-minute short...

Artists rely so much on their own eyes, says Rosemary, that someone else's listening ear seems an absolute necessity. She listens to -and sometimes translates-artists' ideas and suggestions.

For one thing, each show is stitched together from about 350 snippets of video tape. Some of them-a flash of graffiti, for example, or a mugging face...
Schlatter (referring to notes): "We've got a thing that worked the other night, and I think we ought to run with it. That line from the alligator wrestling bit, 'Blow in his ear and he'll follow you anywhere.' It went through the studio like wildfire Let's keep it going. (He turns page.) The scripts are getting funnier and tighter all the time...
