...Stravinsky. A six-figure income eases the frustrations of deadline pressure and constant rewriting, as well as condescension from within the industry. Twentieth Century-Fox Music Director Lionel Newman's job profile for a composer is not flattering: "You don't want a Stravinsky because some primitive might be better. We're looking for a man who'll write to script." That sort of remark annoys Jerry Goldsmith. Says he: "There are damn few composers alive or deceased who have had the opportunity we have had to experiment with atonality and counterpoint." Next month Goldsmith will...
...talk. The investigation will be intensified this week or next when subpoenas are issued for grand jury appearances. Reportedly among those to be questioned are a pair closely associated with the Mafia: Anthony Giacalone and Anthony Provenzano, who were supposed to meet with Hoffa at the Machus Red Fox Restaurant on the day he disappeared. U.S. Attorney Ralph Guy Jr. is hopeful that the threat of contempt citations will force the mobsters to divulge at least part of what they know...
Hoffa's office records, surrendered to the FBI by his family, show that he accepted a specific Giacalone-Provenzano proposition in late July. On July 30, the day he vanished, his office calendar bears the notation "TG-2 p.m.-Red Fox."

Authorities were told that O'Brien, a $45,000-a-year Teamster organizer, had been seen in the vicinity of the Red Fox on the day Hoffa vanished. O'Brien stoutly insisted that he had not been in the area. But he readily admitted that he was there the following morning by what he claimed was a bizarre coincidence. He said he was often picked up at the site by a Teamster official...
Still, Stapleton's damnable dog, trained to kill, roams menacingly over the picturesque moors and prehistoric ruins that the art department enthusiastically ran up on the Fox back lot. Moreover, Director Sidney Lanfield was careful to keep his fog machines rolling, never permitting the sun to rise on this peculiar corner of the British Empire. The result, for viewers of a certain age anyway, is a sort of double-edged nostalgia: not merely for two beloved characterizations but for a whole vanished style of moviemaking, in which menacing shadows lay over every scene and divinely dumb people blandly insisted...
