...wanted to rehire Begelman only as an independent producer, finally relented and asked him to return as president of the movie division. Now Hirschfield appears in danger of losing his post as president of the parent corporation because of his handling of the affair. And Cliff Robertson has to wonder whether by raising the scandal in the first place he may have jeopardized his film career...
