The $ 6,000 a minute bath in "I will, I will . . .

Elliott Gould and Diane Keaton took a bath together — with about 75 kibitzers looking on It was a perfect day for a bath in Hollywood with the temperatures skirting the middle 90 s on Stage 25 at Burbank Studios High above the small Japanese barrel tub were batteries of powerful lights beating down on the heads of an army of technicians getting the bath ready for the two stars The actress, attired in a daring, lowcut, flesh-colored bathing suit, and Gould in fleshcdored jockey shorts, stood by perfectly relaxed as preparations went ahead for the bath sequence in the Brut Productions comedy for 20th Century-Fox. “I Will, I Will . For Now." Gould and Keaton play a battling married couple in the film, and in this scene they have checked into a sex clinic to save their floundering marriage The bath is part of the clinic treatment to get couples to touch and feel each other again so that lost romance may be recaptured "It was my first screen bath." Diane laughs, "and I had a lot of fun doing it It may seem strange to take what amounts to a public bath,, but you get used to this type of thing in the movies ”

Scarface Al Capone: Midas of murder

Forty-five years after it happened, the true story of Al Capone can now be told. Where previous versions of Chicago's mob rule have romanticized cops and robbers alike, "CAPONE” lays it on the line with exciting history, along with hard-hitting action. When Brooklyn thug Alphonse Caponi came to Chicago in 1920, he didn’t have a dime to his name. By 1929. the czar of the richest outlaw empire in crime history had his worth valued by Treasury agents at over $20,000,000. That official count was low. Scarface Al still appears in the Guinness Book of World Records as holder of “the highest gross income ever achieved in a single year by a private citizen": $105,000,000 in 1927. Capone racked up records like nobody’s business during his reign as overlord of Chicago vice. Seventy people died by his direct order, and during the prohibition decade of death, over 701 were killed. So critical was the death toil m 1926 that slaughter continued at the rate of six a month. Only when Al spoke did it ever stop.

He held Chicago with bullets, but he had captured it before with bribes. Capone estimated that it cost him $243,000 annually to run Chicago. On the 1928 record a murderer had a 300-to-l chance that he wouldn’t be sentenced to death in Chicago. Taking in two million a week in beer sales. Capone and his sponsor in crime Johnny Torrio had money to spend, and they spent it on politicians. To keep their speakeasies, whorehouses and gambling joints open, Torrio and Capone at their peak paid off three mayors, a governor, two senators, a bloc in the House of Representatives, most of the State Assembly, over 40 per cent of Chicago’s judges, and the Eastern seaboard’s secondbiggest police force. Sparing no expense in the stunts, cars, and hard action departments, the excitement of "CAPONE” comes equally from the true facts revealed about the man who made the twenties roar, and the truth about how the Napoleon of crime was finally brought to justice.
