/ "Sixty Years of Seduction" Hollywood--Changing sexual at­ titudes toward romance and seduc­ tion in America, as reflected in the movies from the 1920s to the 1980s and seen through the dramatic and comedic performances of some of the world's most revered, admired, loved and fantasized about actors and actresses, highlight "Sixty Years of Seduction," an ABC two-hour special scheduled for broadcast Monday, May 4." The program, produced by Colum­ bia Pictures Television, is comprised of hundreds of clips of romantic in­ terludes culled from more than 400 memorable movies produced during the last 60 years. James Garner, Angie Dickinson, Robert Urich and Victoria Principal star in dramatic and comedic sket­ ches introducing a series of themes illustrating how the major romantic stars of the past six decades mir­ rored their fans' ideals and fantasies. Sandahl Bergman, a featured per­ former in the Academy Award- winning movie, "All That Jazz," is featured in two majoifdance produc­ tions in fantasy extrayaganzas from a saloon in the wild West to a dimly lit cabaret in 1930s New York. The dance sequences were filmed at the Handlebar Saloon in Pasa­ dena, California, and at an antique auto garage; and the turn-of-the- century comedy sketches featuring the principals were filmed at the Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica, California, a theater club noted for its Gay Nineties decor. History More than 400 feature films representing every major studio in Hollywood were screened for the selection of scenes for the special. Although primarily involving 60 years of screen seduction from 1920 to 1980, the program goes back to the "first kiss," filmed by Thomas Edison in 1896 and explores the controver­ sy surrounding this and other early depictions of seduction on silver screens at the time. The film clips are arranged in a unique style, requiring minimal nar ration as each scene flows into the next, creating a nostalgic, thought- provoking, funny and sexy insight in­ to the history of romance in American movies The program explores the attrac­ tive qualities unique to each star; from the physical glamor of sex god­ desses like Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth, to the high-spirited in­ dependent qualities of women like Barbara Stanwyck and Jane Fonda. The irresistibly magnetic appeal of swashbucklers like Errol Flynn and tough guys like Humphrey Bogart contrasts with the undeniable lure of shy James Stewart and Gary Cooper or a sensitive Robert Redford. Through their films we see Hollywood's ever-changing portrayal of love, romance, and relationships as it has mirrored and molded the ideals and fantasies of generations of American men and women. Among the films seen, sparking many a happy memory, will be "Mor rocco," "Some Like It Hot," "Rose Marie," "10," "The'Way We Were," "To Have and Have Not," "Algiers," "Platinum Blonde," "The Maltese Falcon," "The Graduate," "Hell's Angels," "Smokey and the Bandit," two Valentino films: "Son of the Sheik" and "The Sheik" and "Satur day Night Fever." Film buff's paradise How are almost 400 movies screened for a special? Assuming the average movie length is 90 minutes, that totals out to 600 hours of flickering shadows or 75 eight hour working days of wat ching movies -truly, a film buffs paradise. But producers have much more work to do when putting together a two hour TV special than to sit and watch movies for that length of time. Producers Scott Garen and John Brice, associate producer Joie Garen and film editors Bill Cartwright and Howard Brock, used a special device which allowed them to see pictures at twice and four times nor­ mal speed. The resultant squeaky dialogue was reduced to a lower pitch which permitted them to understand what the film actors were saying. Despite the feeling they were be­ ing served a banquet at a fast food franchise, screening the films very quickly was' their goal because of limited time. Even though the 400 movies were divided among the five of them, it still took weeks to see all of the pictures. w ammm m 1CI, ^ Some of Hollywood's most glamorous and romantic stars wM be featured in "Sixty Years of Seduction," a two-hour Special airing Monday.
