FROM LIGHT SNACKS Clo mamuaranoe TO MEALS... "TORONTO “(CRY = Fan: tasy, patriotism and. heroes are coming back. in vogue because people need to es- cape from their worries about economic and political un- certainty, movie. producer Freddie Fields says. And Fields thinks his most recent venture, Victory — which features some of the world’s leading soccer play- ers — fills the bill on all three counts. “I wanted to make a film — that left people feeling good when they left the theatre, something they could cheer at like in the old days when pa- triotism wasn’t considered a shameful thing,’’ he says. The movie is about a scrag- gly band of Allied prisoners ;war who are tricked into playing soccer against the German national team for Nazi propoganda purposes. It would be unfair to give away the plot but it does end'on an upbeat note as Fields prom- ised. It stars Sylvester Stallone, recreating the role of the eternal underdog which he perfected in the Rocky mov- ies, Michael Caine and Max Von Sydow. As well, 18 world-class soc- cer players, including the Brazilian superstar Pele, En- gland’s Bobby Moore, Osval- do Ardiles of Argentina and Werner Rother, ‘former cap- tain of New York Cosmos, dian Carole Laure ties a small role ‘as a: French resistance fighter in this piece, directed by John Huston. MAKES Ni 10 APOLOGIES | If the plot sounds a little hokey, Fields makes no apol- ogies. “We've gone through our period of social messages in movies and now we need to create some heroes ‘and uplift people,” says the producer whose earlier works include Looking For Mr. Goodbar and American Gigolo. “People are going through heavy times; they’re worried about inflation and’ making the mortgage ‘and all kinds of senseless violence and I think entertaincrs’ have an obli- gation to make them feel bet- ter,”’ said Fields,:who was in Toronto recently for the open- ing of the film at a benefit for Canadian amateur soccer. Early reviews of Victory, BE TEE aren ate which opened July 31 in 16 major Canadian cities, have been good. Fields says his film lacks what he calls the crass pa- triotism found in many of the earlier films made about the war. There are no shoot-em- up battle scenes for audi- ences to cheer at and while the Nazis are still shown as the heavies, Von Sydow por-, trays a German officer who is decent and sympathetic. “This is a story about big men — on both sides in the war. It's about men who can sublimate their own egos be- cause they are dedicated to a cause.” SHOT ON LOCATION The movie was shot en- tirely ‘on location in and around Budapest for the sim- ple reason that Fields could find no other location that looked like wartime Paris, where the game is played. “Budapest ‘was designed as the Paris of the East and it hasn't changed much in the last 40 years. It would have been an enormous job to make the Paris of 1981 look like it did in 1943. It_has modern street lights, neon signs everywhere, a new kind of kiosks and the old Metro signs are gone.”” He estimates he used a total of 250,000 Hungarian extras in the movie, which he thinks may be a record for any production. In each of the three major days of shooting the game, 48,000 extras were used io fill Budapest’s MTK Stadium. “There's no way you could use that many American ex- tras because they almost get paid what European actors get.” Fields said the state film agency arranged for the ex- tras who were mostly people on shift work, the old and the very young. Handling crowds of that size was not difficult, he said, until Pele made an appear- al "8 difficult. for North ri to his cari SoHo prostitute Evelyn Oatley _ (above) became the second victim of the Blackout Ripper, the.killer ‘who terrified London, Eng., during World War Il.
