...huddled in orchestra seats a few yards away. Those sitting in judgment are the movie's producers, Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin, Broadway veterans whose movie version of Cabaret won eight Oscars; Director Sir Richard Attenborough, whose last film, Gandhi, also won eight Oscars; and Choreographer Jeffrey Hornaday, 27, a former dancer who staged the movement in Flashdance. Michael Bennett, who conceived Chorus Line and who was to transform it for the screen, now has no part in making the film...

...Middle East can keep his fez on, 1958 will be the dizziest, busiest merry-go-round in European travel history." Nearly 700,000 voyaging Americans are about to make this breezy prophecy come true. An impressive number of these U.S. tourists will carry a stowaway-Temple Hornaday Fielding. He conies handily packaged in a fact-and opinion-crammed, hard-cover container called Fielding's Travel Guide to Europe, 1958-59 (895 pp.; Sloane; $4.95). Annually revised since its '48 debut, Fielding's Guide has racked up growing sales (the publishers guard actual sales figures like a guilty...
