...also rational. He knows what happens when he travels all the time. We've gone through periods when we were really flapping." What also happens, as Ford sadly realizes, is that the more he stumps, the lower his ratings drop in the polls, because of his plodding style...
...That man doesn't look like me at all!" snapped Katharine Hepburn, 66, dismissing her double from the sets of Olly Olly Oxen Free. A family-style adventure story in which she plays an eccentric lady junk dealer, the film has her working with Movie Novices Kevin Mc-Kenzie and Dennis Dimster, both eleven, an English sheep dog named Obie and a 70-ft. gas-filled balloon.

The budget did not permit construction of the ark nor the assembling of all God's creatures. For the Creation story, Heyman wove together spectacular color footage of the sun and stars, flowing lava, beasts on the Kenya highlands and fish and flora along an ocean floor. In Eden, Adam and Eve are discreetly nude, and without navels. Heyman insists that he will film every jot and tittle...
