‘FALCON’ COMES
SECOND TO
MURPHY'’S ‘COP’

HOLLYWOOD (AP) — The Falcon and The
Snowman grossed $2.4 million at only 265 theatres last
weekend, but its strong opening still left the Orion
release with millions to go before unseating Beverly Hills
Cop from the top spot at the box office.

The true story of convicted spy Christopher Boyce,
starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn, averaged $8,901

AFTER FOUR YEARS
Spy film on screen

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Falcon and the
Snowman, the tale of young spies Christopher Boyce and
Daulton Lee, went through four tortuous years and two
studios before reaching the screen. But that's nothing
new for British director John Schlesinger.

“Many of my pictures have had the same kind of
history,” said Schlesinger, who won an Academy Award
for Midnight Cowboy.

“I guess it's because I'm attracted to the kind of
material on which people are included to pass moral
judgments.”

Darling was rejected by the British producing
company after completion “because the girl was too
unsympathetic.” Jospeh Levine picked up the film and
with a few added scenes it won Julie Christie the Oscar as
best actress of 1965.

by Paramount. Yanks, about English women and
American GIs during the Second World War, was
dumped by Paramount and embraced by Universal
United Artists.

“Three scripts of The Falcon and the Snewman were
written at Fox,” Schlesinger recalled during an interview
at his Sunset Strip hotel suite. “The project was dropped
Cost was given as the reason for the rejection, but who
knows? Studios can always find a reason.

“It was a problem getting the film started again. A
rejected film always has the mark of Cain on it.”

FINDS BACKING

Producer Gabriel Katzka managed to find backing
from Orion Pictures and Hemdale Film Corp., the movie
financing firm. But the pivotal factor, said Schlesinger,
was being able to film most of Falcon in Mexico. The $12
million production cost would have been “much, much
more in Hollywood.”

Also, Schlesinger said, stars Timothy Hutton and

that could double for the boys’ old neighborhood.

The defence company was really a Mexican
university: “We only had to remove the anti-American
grafitti.”

There were few problems with censorship, he said,
adding, “there were times when we had to engage the
lady censor in heavy conversation.”

A key scene concerned the beating of Lee by
Mexican authorities after they arrested him on suspicion
of a cop killing. “The only prison the Mexicans showed us
looked like Pepperdine University,” said Schlesinger. He
escaped censorship by filming the beating in an East Los
Angeles warehouse.

The prolific Schlesinger, who also did Marathon Man,
did not remain idle during the years it required to mount
The Falcon and the Snowman

He also managed to direct a play at London's
National Theatre, two operas and two television films,
including the memorable, An Englishman Abroad, which
took place in Moscow but was filmed entirely in England.
