Stahl, who guided the making of “Back Street,” and “Only Yesterday.” The story is of a young playboy, who, during the course of one of his escapades, causes the accidental death of a famous brain surgeon.

More than 40 “shooting" days have been consumed by the picture and the production “takes” are expected to be finished by New Year’s Eve. Marlene Diet-rick, co-starred with Gary Cooper in “Desire,” will reach the Indiana screen late in February.
