The U.S. distributor, Paramount, is balking at releasing it. The dispute has turned into a three-cornered fusillade of multimillion-dollar lawsuits. No wonder Bertolucci has been suffering of late from a series of psychosomatic ills that he calls "the 1900 syndrome...

Schiller, 40, has made a small career of wedging himself into the midst of sensational news events. When Jack Ruby was dying in 1967, for example, Schiller smuggled a recorder into Ruby's hospital room and taped his deathbed statement that he killed Lee Harvey Oswald on a whim...
