"PROBABLY THE WORST THING I EVER DID"
"I hate to go out to dinner, period! I had a million excuses.
The food's no good. The food's good, but over-priced. The
food's o.k., but the place is too far. The food and music are
lousy. The service is horrible. Last week I ran out of excuses."

seems to wear a
crown of content-

sleeps lies at his feet.
His high-rise office view of
mid-Manhattan is stagger-

by his windows, as if peeking
in to take a furtive look at a
star.
Attired in a red cardigan,
ruddy and ready for another
day of decision-making, he is
every bit the mogul, mulling
over upcoming club dates,
movie appearances, script
ideas and concerns that the
world has taken leave of its
senses.
Articulate and affable,
King peers out the window
and sips from a drink. He
then takes a puff from a
cigarette, the smoke spirall-
ing to the ceiling.
King's reputation is that of
a shrewd businessman; as a
movie producer Wolfen, he
invests in talent that pays
off.
King is in good humor
talking about the script for
the somber Enemies, a Love
Story, a new film based on
an I.B. Singer story about a
Holocaust survivor caught
up in relationships with
three women, two of whom
are his wives. King portrays
a wheeling-dealing rabbi in
the film, due out early next

fact, I played two in one pic-
ture, an old one and a young
one, in Bye Bye Braverman.
King smiles. He has good
memories of both Braverman
(1968) and Enemies, which
recently finished filming in
Montreal. "Look," he says,
going to a drawer, pulling
