If some studio can arrange to borrow the U. S. battle fleet for a few weeks it has a bang-up story readymade for the films. Lack of a fleet seems at the moment the only thing standing in the way of .Steve Fisher’s sale of his newly published book, “Destroyer.”

avy. He's sold some $100,000 worth of material to the films, inchiding his “I Wake Up Screaming” which was purchased by ' 20th Century-Fox largely because of its title.. Mr. Fisher got an early initiation into: the strange ways of Hollywood when; after buying the book because of the title, 20th ° Century-Fox changed the name to “Hot Spot”

“I protested to everyone on the lot,” he said, “and then I learned

by a mysterious set of executives. in New York.” - Besides lack of a fleet, the current pressure against war films, as expressed by the Congressional inquiry into film propaganda, may cause difficulty with “Destroyer.” The theme is ambitious, to say

licized directors. The Producer Agrees

A well-known producer was asked about this the other day, and he said the fellow was absolutely right. Except that he had omitted to mene tion that people like cameramen also ought to get just as much credit as the director. It was his opinion that about 2

really deserve the. term “great” which is applied so otten wo so many. The men who make up this 2 per cent, he said, are the only ones who have anything to offer in addition to acting as a foreman to see that everyone keeps working,

Formula for Success

~ And he’s sure that his opinion will not offend anyone, because all directors naturally will assume that they are among the 2 per cent. Given a good script, good actors ‘actresses, and competent’ camerinen, set designers and’ other technicians, he said, a “director hardly can fail. As long as he doesn’t get in the way, the picture practically makes itself. Only genius displayed by some of. the so-called geniuses, he said, is in’ making sure that they have the right story, boxoffice names and foolproof assistants before undertaking a picture.
