HOLLYWOOD—Sidney J. Furie,
a 36-year-old, Toronto-born Jewish
boy, most recently completed his
first Hollywood movie, "Petrocelli;
Lawyer," filmed without advance
press ilotice or trumped-up pub-
licity. Hardly anyone at Paramount
was aware that the young director
had been at work at the studio's
smaller lot and on location in
Colorado Springs. "Petrocelli; Law-
yer" is the fictionalized account of
the Sam Sheppard murder case
with the factual background sup-
plied by criminal attorney F. Lee
Bailey, who defended the Cleve-
land osteopath accused of mur-
dering his wife.
Raymond Stross, who had made a
name with the Stuart Whitman pic-
ture, "The Mark," winner of the
1961 Samuel Goldwyn Award, in-
Iroduced me to Sidney Furie after
the latter had guided for him "The
Leather Boys," a controversial
story dealing with the sex relation-
ship of two young cockneys, shot
in semi-documentary fashion in the
suburbs of London and Manchester.
On the strength of "The Leather
Boys," and even more, "The Ip-
cress File," Furie was signed by
Universal in Hollywood, where he
directed a mediocre Western, "The
Appaloosa," with Marlon Brando.
He made another spy thriller,
"The Naked Runner," with Frank
Sinatra, for Warner Bros., the lat-
ter partly on location in London
and Copenhagen. The two films
are noteworthy only for cinematic
brilliance, not for story values.

Frederick Stafford, the Czech-
born actor portraying the key role
of the French protagonist in the
motion picture ; "Topaz," from the
best seller by Leon Uris, told about
his contacts with King Hussein of

Jordan whom he met many times
during his trips through the Middle
East. Stafford says that Hussein
doesn't want any identification with
Arab refugees but claims he has
only the interest of his own coun-
try at heart. Circumstances have
driven him into a position he
doesn't like. The little king is well
aware that Russia is looking for a
permanent outpost on the Mediter-
ranean and is afraid that Egypt
will become a Soviet satellite.
This, according to Stafford, who
was a world traveler and business
executive before becoming an
actor.
