Stolen films: reward offer
(N.Z.P. A.Reuter—Copyright) ROME, September 9. The producers of three films stolen from a processing plant in Rome last month, including one by Federico Fellini, have offered a reward of 30 million lire ($33,000) for information leading to their return.
The films, eagerly awaited by cinemagoers, are Fellini’s still-uncompleted work, “Casanova”; Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “Salo,” or “The 120 days of Sodom”; and Damiano Damiani’s “Genius.” Mr Alberto Grimaldi, who financed the Fellini and Pasolini films, says that thefe is no question of a ransom being paid: the recovery of the 74 cans of stolen negatives is not essential, because reasonably good copies had been made from existing positive prints. The theft of more than 1.3 miles of film was discovered on August 27 at a colourprocessing laboratory.
