Contrast those figures with the $50 million spent on Batman, which ear- ned one Academy Award nomination — for art direction. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have a history of ignoring the cost in rewarding the best * achievements of the film world. Mar- ty, with a budget of $343,000, won as best picture of 1955, beating such big-budget films as Picnic, Mister Roberts and Love Is a Many- Splendored Thing. The $1-million Rocky knocked out its rivals in 1976. Other low-budget winners: Chariots of Fire, 1981, and Platoon, 1986. Oscar loves the Cinderella story, and this year it stars the Lrish-made drama My Left Foot. “We managed to get the made out of blind ignorance, jicture admits producer Noel Pearson. ‘‘We were two weeks into filming when we lined up the financing.” He had been a close friend of the film's subject, hard-drinking Christy Brown, who became an acclaimed artist and writer in spite of the cerebral palsy that vir- tually immobilized him. Pearson started he film with his own money, plus 100,000 pounds sterling apiece from a friend and from Irish television.

He borrowed costumes fiom his theatrical company. “The film was made isr just under $3 million, depending on the rate of exchange,’’ said the producer. ‘‘We managed to do that because everybody was committed. It was triumph of spirit over financing.” The latest estimate for the Worldwide gross of My Left Foot — $50 million. Driving Miss Daisy also demon- Strates that a~ film's ,budget is im- material at awards time. It was budgeted at $8 million, amazing in view of the $20 million average for mainstream Hollywood films. How could Richard and Lili Zanuck produce such an inexpensive film? It is basically a two-character story and the two stars, Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, are not high- priced. Ottawa-born Dan Aykroyd is, but he took a lesser salary to play the straight role of the old woman's son. “His change of character paid off with a nomination for supporting actor. Two other nominees for best pic- ture had average budgets and drew mixed reviews, but their off-beat sub- jects somehow connnected with the going public. 1990, P mission.

Born on the Fourth of July proved that film audiences are still: concerned with the consequences of the Vietnam war. The film was the result of a long collaboration between Oliver Stone, whose Platoon was drawn from his own experiences in the war, and Ron Kovic, wounded veteran and anti-war activist. Tom Cruise, one of today’s biggest draws in films, and strong reviews helped contribute to the success of Born on the Fourth of July — $59.7 million in 10 weeks. Stone directed the film in the Philippines, which doubled for both Vietnam and Mexico, and Dallas, which represented Kovic’s home town of Massapequa, N.Y. Despite the complex production, which ranged from battlefields to national political conventions with 12,000 extras, the cost-was reportedly $18 million.

Pulp prices heading down EDMONTON (CP) — Just as two northern Alberta pulp mills approach their opening dates, pulp prices are heading down. Industry analysts and represen- tatives agree the timing is terrible for. the short-term but the long-range outlook for the industry is for strong . Canada’s $500-million bleached-kraft pulp mill. at Peace slated to open this summer, just as the long-expected price drop is expected to be gathering momentum. Alberta Energy Co.’s $170-million mill near Slave Lake, Alta., is expec- ted to open in December. “I wouldn't want to be starting up right now,” said John Clevenger of Procter and Gamble. The U.S.- Daish EDMONTON (CP) — Daishowa Canada and the Alberta government say they could lose a fortune if the courts demand a federal environ-” mental review of the Daishowa pulp mill. Lawyers for the province and the company, owned by Japanese in- terests, told a federal judge Monday they should be allowed to present their arguments, along with environ- mental and native groups But long-range outlook for industry is good owned company operates a bleached- kraft mill on the Wapiti River, south of Grand Prairie, Alta. Clevenger said prices are set to tumble this April, when the industry does its quarterly review of supply and demand. He said prices are already down about $20 to $30 a tonne from the list price of $810 US on northern bleached softwood kraft — Procter and Gamble’s main product. “There are a number of people we know of that are discounting. We ex- pect the price to go down in April,”’ said Clevenger. He said the price of hardwood kraft, the kind of pulp Daishowa plans to start making this summer, is also likely to drop from its list price of $745 US a tonne. “Demand is slowing and inven- tories have been building up,” Clevenger said. The only question that remains is how far down prices will go. Clevenger said softwood prices bot- tomed out around $410 US a tonne in 1986, the last time the industry ex- perienced a price slump. Richard Huff, vice-president of Alberta Energy Forest Products, said the prospect of a price fall is no cause for alarm about the economics of mill his company will open in December. 's not a surprise at all,’’ said Huff. ‘That's something we took in- to account. “Things are really unfolding as we thought they would.”’ Huff said the drop in prices is par- tly because major pulp projects around the world are. starting up creating supply faster than the growth in demand. The industry slowdown could last two or three. years, until the annual growth in demand of about four per cent absorbs the extra capacity. owa fears huge loss ticipate,”’ said company lawyer Ace Henderson.

Government House leader Harvie Andre said the Senate has no con- stitutional right to amend. financial aspects of Bill C-21, which aims to cut the cost to government of unem- ployment insurance by spreading the costs to employers and workers. It was the latest round in a long ‘wrangle between the government and the Senate over the bill, which the government says is needed to provide more training for workers and to streamline the system. Last month, the Senate proposed nine amendments to the bill. The amendments would halt heavy premium increases for workers and their employers, stop a plan to in- crease the time needed to qualify and Prevent the government from making it harder for workers in many parts of Canada to draw benefits. In effect, the government rejected FERRARO’S Der Your satisfaction is our main concern the provi rt » Hender- son said.

If the court quashes federal grants move Andrew said most of the proposed amendments proposed involve spen- ding and the government had no choice but to reject them. Monique Vezina, minister of state for employment, served notice that the government could limit debate on the Senate’s proposed amendments ‘when the issue-comes~ before the House. Employment Minister Barbara McDougall said the changes direct more money into job-training Programs: “Public support for Bill C-21 is really very strong across Canada,** McDougall told the Commons over hoots and catcalls from the op- Position benches. Meanwhile, Shirley Carr, president of the 2.3-million member Canadian Labor Congress, said the Conser- vatives will pay ‘“‘at the ballot box”’ for the changes that critics say will af- fect thousands drawing UI benefits: Labor leaders met Liberal and New Democrat parliamentarians seeking support for their campaign to kill the legislation.

John Gill, a lawyer for the Friends of the Peace, said neither the province nor Daishowa should be allowed to participate in the legal action. They can state their case if a federal en- vironmental review isvalled, he said. Gill said his clients aren’t trying to stop construction of the project. But Justice B.J. Reed said with- drawal of federal permits from the company would effectively delay the Project. Reed will rule later this month on the bid by the Alberta government and Daishowa to take part in the case.
