(CP) — It’s © hard to imagine how Gregory Peck could improve on a car- eer which has seen him play characters as diverse as Cap- tain Ahab and Nazi scientist, Joseph Mengele, while win- ning nearly every award the film industry ‘has to give. But at 67, the soft-spoken, white-haired actor is con- vinced his next movie role will be his finest since he won an Oscar for his portrayal of the Lincolnesque lawyer At- tone Finch ia To pail A Mock- ingbird.'- pte cr associate this role ‘and | this -story with the. kind: of « thing I do best,” Peck says of Dodsworth, a remake of the 1936 film that starred Walter Huston. Based on the Sinclair Lew- is novel, the film chronicles the circumstances of a middle- aged American industrialist who retires to Europe, where he and his wife find a new 'set of values and™ relationships. Peck will also ‘produce the film, a he does not relish. “I don’t particularly . like producing,” he: says. “One has to deal with budgets and logigtics and labor prob-., lems and financing.
