For seven long years Montalban endured — quite
happily, he admits — the
required of him as star of ABC-TV's Fantasy Island. Last
spring the series came to an end and he has been
maintaining a low profile ever since.

“After seven years on the tube, I think I'm ready. for
he said in an interview. “I've turned down
offers to appear on series like Love Boat and Hotel. I
think it will be good for me to be scarce for.a while.

“Of course, there's always the possibility of ‘out of
sight, out of mind.’ But I think I will take a year off and
then try to find something good for me to do, so that the
audience will be glad to see me back.”

people's secret dreams.

“I had to discover in my own mind what Roarke
really was,” the actor recalled. “I thought, ‘Is he God? No.
he is not omnipotent. Is he the devil? No, he is a good
man.’

“I decided to make him an archangel, suffering from
the sin of pride. For penance he is assigned to purgatory,
with an angel at his side. He reviews the people who are
tested as to whether they will go to heaven or the other
place.”

Montalban believed Fantasy Island could have
continued, but “they” — those nameless network bosses
— decided to pull the plug.

His feelings now that it is all over?

“T'm very grateful to Fantasy Island. Because of it I
have, if not great wealth, at least financial security. And I
have great affection for the people I worked with — the
best crew I've known in my career. We went through
births, marriages and deaths together; we became part of

LOS ANGELES (AP) —

“I guess my personal im-

few years that I have been

Crenna has been a working
actor most of his life, but only
in his 50s has he been taken
seriously — perhaps because
of his chameleon-like talent
for assuming the roles he's
assigned.

“I never really got any

without a trace of bitterness.

Japanese

GOTEMBA, JAPAN (AP) — After four decades of
filmmaking, that grand mater of the Japanese cinema, Akira
Kurosawa; is finishing what he calls his “life work” — in 16th
century Samurai tragedy inspired by Shakespeare's King
Lear.

The 74-year-old Kurosawa, whose epic movies have won
Academy Awards and Cannes Festival prizes, said Ran, his
28th film, will be his most important one and “the kind that
brings a chill to your backbone.”

Kurosawa was at the foot of Mount Fuji, waiting for the
sun to move into position for the next scene. Several
hundred armored warriors, some on horseback, sat poised in
formation around the castle they were to attack when
Kurosawa decided the light was right.

Ran, which means turmoil or chaos, is the story of an
aging warlord who goes had when .he discovers the
thankless, greedy nature of his sons. Kurosawa said he first
wrote the script nine years ago, drawing inspiration from
King Lear and an episode in Japanese history.

“There was a famous warlord who had three very
brave, loyal sons,” he said in an interview. The idea for Ran
was born when he imagined “what would have happened if
the sons had been nasty and ambitious, instead.”

King Lear

effects and his demands that actors be disciplined and well
rehearsed.

Knownas “the Emperor” in Japan for his perfectionism
and insistence on complete artistic control over his project,
Kurosawa was relaxed as he-gave direction through a
megaphone to several young men running through the castle
grounds spreading smoke with smoke sticks.

He said he could imagine the scenes being shot, but
would not be sure about them until he saw the film in the
editing room. Though he plans very carefully before a scene,
the director said he’s happy when something spontaneous
occurs on the film.

Japan's film industry, controlled by major production

whie! ize in soft por hy and cheap
romances, has been reluctant to back Kurosawa's costly and
lengthy projects.

With Kagemusha, his 1980 Samurai, he teamed with
U.S. director-producer Francis Ford Coppola, and he sought
financing from the Soviet Union for Derzu Uzala, released in
1976.

Kagemusha — the story of a peasant who assumes the
role of his lookalike, a great samurai warlord — won the
Golden Palm Prize at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. Derzu

Kurosawa, wearing his di: beret and
sat on a small stool atop a cliff, with snow-topped Mount Fuji
behind him, while directing the day's castle battle scene. But
the cone-shaped 3,776-metre peack, regarded as sacred by
the Japanese, will not be seen in Ran because the move is set
in summertime.

The legendary director said he chose the location partly
because “there's always something unexpected when you
come to this mountain.”

ARE TRADEMARK

On a platform behind him stood one of three cameras,
primed to shoot the scene. Multicamera battle scenes are

besides comedy.

“In retrospect, I believe
that I was lucky. People
didn’t know who I was. They
still don't.”

SEES VARIETY

Crenna had the best of
boyhoods for a future actor.
His parents operated a series
of small hotels in downtown
Los Angeles, and he was able
to observe a rich panorama of
“gamblers, con men, bookies,
ex-jockies, characters you
wouldn't believe.”

At 11 he began appearing
on radio to augment the
family finances. Soon he was
one of the busiest child actors
on the air.

Uzala, a R film about an old woodsman who
befriends an urbanized surveyor, won the 1976 Academy
Award for best foreign film.

Ran is a Franco-Japanese production with an estimated
budget of $11.5 million. It is scheduled for release next fall.

If Kurosawa is bitter about being ostracized at home, he
doesn't show it. Apart from filming Derzu Uzala in the
Soviet Union, he has remained in Japan, and while he claims
to be inspired by western classics, he said that in the past
decade his main goal has been Ran.

Kurosawa said he wants only to satisfy his own
demands for artistie merit. “I think I'm getting closer to
making movies that are true cinema,” he said.

Today Banerjee is one of
the stars of David Lean's
majestic new film, A Passage
to India, and the Calcutta
actor has a greater respect
for Foster's work.

“David's script was so
wonderful, I wanted to read
the book,” he recalled during

_& visit here for the North

American premieres.
“I learned many things
from Forster, though, of

course, you can never know a
subject as well as Lean.
You'd bloody well know as
much as you can when
working with Lean. If you
don't, he'll hit you between
the eyeballs.”

Banerjee plays the pivotal
role of Dr. Aziz, the shy, self.
effacing physician who is ac
cused of trying to rape Adela
Quested (Australian Judy
Davis) during an outing to
the Marabar Caves.
