Last week Producer Dino de Laurentiis offered this sample of his Christmas-trade epic to the National Association of Theater Owners Convention in Los Angeles and drew a rave response. Already he has recouped his entire cost in the form of advances from these shrewd and, currently, very gloomy entrepreneurs.

...that he is 29, his first record, titled simply Warren Zevon (Asylum), is getting some rave reviews. Asks Rolling Stone: "Who could have imagined a concept album about Los Angeles that is funny, enlightening, musical, at moments terrifying and above all funny?"

Her undoing in previous world competitions had always been the compulsory figures. In Innsbruck, though, Dorothy mastered the formal circles and finished second, ahead of her arch rival, Diane de Leeuw, 20. The reason: six months ago her coach Carlo Fassi, who also guided John Curry to victory (see box), reluctantly decided his own design of blades did not suit Dorothy and switched her to a flatter blade...
