Hollywood looks at Hollywood

Holywood, land of fantasy in which stars, starlets, heroes, and heroines are made and forgotten in a day, is the subject of a series “That’s Hollywood,” to begin on TVI tonight. The programmes was made in Hollywood by Twentieth Century Fox Films, and each segment is of 30 minutes.

From Shirley Temple to Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow to Raquel Welch, Barbra Streisand to Bette Davis, and Mae West to Faye Dunaway, “That’s Hollywood” presents profiles and film clips of Fox’s leading ladies over the years. The men — John Voight, Donald Sutherland,

Gregory Peck, Michael Caine, Richard Burton, Anthony Quinn, Tyrone Power, and Spencer Tracy — appear also in many of the 26 shows. Under titles such as “How to Make A Monster”; “I . . Spy”; “Special Effects By . . "Always Leave ’Em Laughing”; “The Song And Dance Men” and “The War Stories,” film clups from Fox’s vaults help make up a composite story. “The Classic Chase” — episode one — takes viewers on a motorised rampage from the Keystone Cops to Star Wars in 70 years of movie car chases. Film clips from such notable productions as “The French Connection,” "Drums Along The Mowhawk,’’ “Stagecoach,” “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry,” and “Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines” illustrate the point.
