HOLLYWOOD — Stanley
Kramer has returned from
the Soviet Union after re-
ceiving the grand prize at
the eighth Moscow film fes-
tival for his production of

national capitalism.
This is the first time that
an American film was honor-
ed with a prize at the Mos-
cow competition. Kramer
himself previously attended
twice as a guest and juror.
"Oklahoma Crude" is a
noncontroversial love story
of two down-to-earth, hard-
bitten characters entwined
in wild-catting oil exploita-
tion on the eve of World War
I.
The theme is singular and
simple, but the story of 31-
year-old Marc Norman„ de-
veloped by the author and
director with relentless pow-
er, utterly brutal and frank,
leaves the audience with two
unforgettable performances
by Faye Dunaway a n d
George C. Scott in earthy
Rabelaisian horseplay for
the supremacy of sexes.

than-life portrayals of the
unlikely couple is British
girl's gentle, all-too-tender
thespian John Mills as the
father protecting the shrew
against her obstinacy and ir-
rational outbursts of anger
and finally paying for her
with his life.
Kramer previously h a s
been the recipient of the Irv-
ing Thalberg Award. He has
netted more than 100 "Oscar"
nominations, including three
each for "The Defiant Ones,"
"Judgement at Nuremberg"
and "Guess Who's Coming
to Dinner," but never bas
won the coveted Academy
Award.
Howard W . Koch, the
pioneer production execu-
tive, has made his debut as
producer-director with the
police story "Badge 373," a
real-life adventure of New
York City detective Egan
who during his 19 years on
the force came to grips with
the operation of a narcotics
ring which was chronicled in
"The French Connection."

George Segal, who absolved
himself as a fine comedian
in two sophisticated roles in
"A Touch of Class" and
"Blume in Love," now is
back at the Burbank Studios
in a highly dramatic role
portraying the title role in
the filmization of Michael
Crichton's suspense novel,
"The Terminal Man," to be
directed by British crafts-
man Michael Hodges. Segal,
in the film, is a man with
criminal tendencies, and an
operation on his brain per-
formed with the insertion of
probes aim at straightening
out his equilibrium. The
story is realistic and con-
temporary.
