Stokowski, pleading other engagements, had refused a March invitation to guest-conduct the Havana Philharmonic. But then a Chilean impresario, Jorge Estradé, signed him up for a Havana concert in February with the same orchestra. In due time, Stokie arrived with his luscious, 21-year-old wife, Gloria, bustled into Havana's Hotel Nacional. Soon the lobby boasted a life-size cardboard cutout of Stokowski, announcing that he would conduct the Beethoven Ninth on Feb.11...

Up to now, he has made musicals exclusively (Cabin in the Sky, I Dood It, the luscious Meet Me in St. Louis). He was frightened at first by the straight-dramatic Clock. But he turned it into a directorial tour de force. Studiously as he researches and plans his films, Minnelli is no theorist : "The exciting thing about pictures," he says, "is not to have a future...
