But Producer Sam Goldwyn kept plugging away at his long-awaited, much-ballyhooed screen version of George Gershwin's durable Broadway musical. By the time the show was in the can, it had cost more than $7,000,000 to produce-and it may cost almost as much again to promote and distribute. If Sam's past performance (The Best Years of Our Lives, Guys and Dolls) is anything to go by, he will probably...
