...shake hands with startled Camel Driver Ahmad Bashir, 40. While the photographers snapped away, Johnson made small talk. "President Ayub Khan is coming to the U.S.," he offered. "Why don't you come too?" Bashir agreeably smiled "Sure, sure," went home to his mud-and-gunny-sack shack and forgot...
...sadism on a tobacco farm. Even last year's top Oscar winner. Billy Wilder, signed Shirley MacLaine for The Apartment before he had a word on paper, with the pitch that he wanted to make a film about "that grand old American folk ritual, the afternoon shack-up."

Says Drew: "We would not move in with our lights and cameras and convert a worker's shack into a television studio. That way you simply don't get a feeling of reality." Using natural lighting, a stripped-down 16-mm. camera and, if necessary, a midget recording machine, Drew's reporting teams do their work unobtrusively, spend as long as a week befriending a family till they...
