Anne Landman's Collection
Movie Memo
Abstract
This 412-page document lists feature films in which American Tobacco cigarettes were injected (or were attempted to be injected) into the plot, or in which they were placed as "set dressing." Examples: "Pall Mall, Carlton and Lucky Strike cigarettes will be used as set dressing in a Mini Mart in Comstock," "We provided LUCKY STRIKE cigarettes for Kathleen. The cigarettes have been established as her brand, and she will be smoking them throughout the film. The exposure for THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. should be great."
The document lists many significant family films in which cigarettes were placed or attempted to be placed: "Big Top Pee Wee" (starring Pee Wee Herman), "Ghostbusters II" (starring Dan Aykroid and Bill Murray), "Christmas Vacation" (with Chevy Chase), "Look Who's Talking Too" (with Kirstie Alley, John Travolta), "Ghost" (starring Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze), "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, "Big" starring Tom Hanks, and many more. A memo discussing the film "Clean and Sober" (about a man who checks himself into a detox center) says "Lucky Strike, Pall Mall and Carlton were given for use by Charlie and many other patients in the detox center."
The placement company proposed that, in a film about a high school student, the main characters' father and favorite hero both smoke American Tobacco cigarettes throughout the film ["Personal Choice," 1988, listed on page 180]. For another film about a 13 year old girl ("Far From Home" starring Drew Barrymore), it was proposed that her father smoke Carlton cigarettes [Page 183].
The document points out that in some cases cigarettes were provided for "good guy" roles (e.g., Page 313).
According to this list, cigarettes were purposely made to appear in hundreds of films: cigarettes are seen in the foreground and background, on billboards, in stores, inside a freezer, on a truck, in bars, around the Thanksgiving table, on signs and countertops. They are purposely used throughout many films by main characters: fathers, mothers, heroes, by supporting actors and extras, in response to stress and as props to make a character appear "cool."
This document gives us an idea how pervasive and purposeful cigarette placement has been in the movies.

Having everything, in some respects, is not what it
s--eems, especially to a certain Edward Harris. He's a lonely, well-to-do
businessman who lives in New York, but is in Los Angeles on business
with his partner, Stuckey. When he hurriedly leaves an L.A. party
(actually thrown in his honor by Shuckey), he asks a prostitute on
Hollywood Blvd. for directions to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Her name
is Vivian and as odd as it strikes both Edward & Vivian, there is a
strange, electric challenging attraction between the two. Edward "buys"
Vivian's friendship for the week, as he is in need of a date for certain
business functions. Vivian is beautiful, and with Edward's credit cards,
she almost passes herself off as a high society lady. But a slip of the
tongue, and vivian's mistakenly passing along secret information
relating to one of Edward's deals, causes a blow-up in a magical
relationship. It jolts Edxcard and Vivian into reality to remind them who
they really are, and what roles they must play out. But in the end, as
in all fairy tales, true love wins and Edward and Vivian decide to give
love a try as a hea~.

green slime that has taken root under New York City. It all starts with

mean, and becomes a controllable substance when people are nice. So,
they get inside the Statue of Liberty~ and travel the streets of New

STORFLINE: "Fear" begins with Cayce Bridges (Ally Sheedy)
helping the police track a mysterious man only known to them as
"psycho." Cayce can reach into the minds of people, a psychic. She has
become famous the past four years by helping police track down mass
murderers, serial killers, and kidnappers; all wRile writing several
books about her adventures. We follow Cayce and the police trying to
track "psycho" with her psychic powers; and we also follow the killer
through Cayce's visions, taking us to some of his murder scenes. The
suspense builds as the story jumps from Cayce's point of view to looking
through her "visions." Cayce gets frustrated as she learns that this
killer also has psychic powers and can control her own thoughts and
visions as well. As Cayce tracks the killer, he lets her know he has
control by knowing her every move, always one step ahead of her, and
striking when it is to his best advantage. She has decided she must
keep the police out, as the killer, her "Shadow Man," has proven to
Cayce that he can strike at anytime, threatening to do away with a
dctective's family if she interferes] Cayce becomes close to her
neighbor Jack; who, after keeping a close eye on Cayce (protection from
the "Shadow Man"), teams up with her to put a stop to the killer's
game. We see Cayce and the "Shadow Man" battling a mental war over who
has greater psychic control, until Cayce and Jack finally track down the
psycho and win in the end.

STORYLINE: Joey O'Brien was born to sell. He loves his job,
~lling and leasing cars. It's nearly his whole life. Joey's other love
is women. With two girlfriends, an ex-wife he is still mad about, a
daughter and Ma, he has his hands full. Things aren't going well for
Joey. His job is on the line since the leasing agency where he works is
moving to another location and only some of the sales force will go. The
entire sales force is pumped up to sell all the cars, and the best will
be the ones who stay on. Joey's personal life seems to be getting in the
way of work. The pressure from his girlfriends, his debts and his
daughter's behavior is getting him down. The big sale day arrives and it
does not start out well for Joey. His personal life gets in the way but
Joey ends up by proving his true "sales" ability. In the end Joey real-
izes that his f~aily is more important to him than pleasing so many
women. He finally makes the commitment to go back with his wife, and we
think he might find happiness.

Department of the LAPD. Along with his female partner, Wallace, he
investigates a cop (Van Stretch) who planted drugs to make a bust. Van
Stretch's partner, Dennis Peck, is also a bad cop and a hit man. Dennis
was hired by Tova and Steven Arrocas "to kill Steven's parents who
manufacture specialty floor covering, because they won't listen to
Steven's ideas on how to run the company. Raymond and Wallace are onto
Dennis, but it is hard to bust him because he is one of the most
productive officers on the LAPD force. Dennis is sleeping with his
partner's wife and has Van killed. Dennis then tries to make it look
like he had an affair with Raymond's wife to try to try and throw
Raymond into a frenzy. Fortunately, this does not work. Dennis tries to
kill Raymond before Raymond is able to get a search warrant, but Raymond
kills Dennis and is the hero of Internal Affairs.

STORYLINh
is in retirement and Rocky Balboa is semi-retired. But all is not well in the U.S.
Boxing Federation. The Soviet Union has sent over a committee of diplomats to announce
that Russia has agreed to join the professional fighting ranks. To prove they moan
business~ they have brought along the Russian Olympic champion~ Drago. Drago is the
result of ~aFs of perfect training and research in human muscle structure. He is the
ultimate fighting machine~
Meanwh~]e, a very bnred Apollo Creed decides he is going to come out of retirement to
fight Drago in an exhibition match. With Rocky Balboa in his oornerj Apollo is being
punished by Drago~ but insists that Rocky doesn't throw in the towel. Too late~ Drago
sends a crushing blow to Apollo's midsection that sends Apollo through the ropes and
onto the edge of a sportscastillg table. Apollo has been hospitalized with a fractured
spine and the doctors aren't sure whether he will be able to walk again.
Rocky feels everything is his fau~t. He temporarily abandons his wife and child~ and
leaves for Moscow to face this hehemoth~ despite a desperate plea from Apollo.
Living in an old Russian country barn~ Rocky goes hack to basics to prepare himself
against the computer trained Russian. In front of the largest TV audience to witness
a sporting event, Rocky takes on Drago ~n Red Square. Rocky doesn't let the thundering
"Boo-ing" from the crowd break his mental concentration. Drage is clearly the stronger
of the two~ and it seems Rocky wonlt last one more round. But~ 14 rounds later~ the
Itallian Stallion is defying all laws of fatigue. The Russian crowd has turned and is
now cheering for this courageous #anerdcan. Everything is going Rocky'sway now. He
gives everything he has and blasts D#age in the ~aw so hard it sends him flying through
the ropes and into the sportscasters. Rocky wins! The Russian crowd loves it! Three
cheers for the U.S.A.

Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale of the "Rocky and
Bullwinkle" series have come to life and are on a mission for their boss,
Fearless Leader. They are sent from Pottsylvania, posed as defectors, to
the United States to track down the Pottsylvanian inventor of a strange
time travel/explosive device that puts time in rewind. They are unaware
that Fearless Leader is setting them up, as another spy, Mr. X, will
really steal the time travel device and return it to Pottsylvania. Upon
their arrival in America, they face lie detector tests in goverr~ment
immigration offices, and are put under FBI surveillance. Given a swanky
American condo and ear, life in America appeals to Natasha, who becomes a
celebrity, much to the chagrin of Boris. Their new "friends", Toots and
Hank (actually Rocky and Bullwirhkle with plastic surgery), introduce them
to life in the fast lane while they try to track down the inventor.
Chaos breaks loose, and it's a showdown between Boris, Natahsa, Fearless
Leader, etc. as they all battle for possession of the inventor and his
chip. Unlike the cartoon ending, Boris and Natasha are the winners, and
with the help of +--he inventor, they destroy the device.

a story about friendship
between three women, now in their 30's, who gre up together in Atlantic
City, New Jersey. Franki D'Angelo works at To~rn & Country Magazine and
dreams of a career as a nightclub singer; Nola Frank is married with
three children and runs Mom's Taffy Shop on the boardwalk (which she
inherited from her mother); and Eloise Hamer tends to seven cats and runs
Wild Bill's TV Museum, which she inherited from her father. At night,
the three women sing at Tony's Paradise Club (a la the Supremes). When
Tony announces he is closing the club and moving to Florida, Franki gets
the bright idea that the three women should buy their own nightclub where
they can perform nightly. The only problem is, they have no money. How
to get the money is only part of the problem; there is also the worry of
how to deal with each of their men, who have other ideas, problems,
dreams, and priorities. In the end, both friendship and love prevail,
but not before they're tested by a series of laugh-filled mishaps and
follies. After a series of financial situations, some up and some down,
it looks as though "The Lemon Sisters" will perform together.

needed for re-enlargement. PEM No. i is in the possesslc~ of Naval Captain Tack
Pendlebon. Since Captain Pendleton has just been miniaturized, he is living inside
a submersible pod, in a solution inside a hypodermic syringe. The syringe, along
with PEM No. 2, are in the possession of Lab Director Colin.
Enter the shady Victor scrirmshaw, who wants to steal the secret of the phenomenal
miniatL~ization process for sale on the black market. Scrimshaw's henchmen stage a
robbery at the %~ctor-Scopa lab, but they're only half successful. They capture PEM
No. 2, but Colin escapes with PEM No. i. Trapped at a suburban shopping mall,
Colin's dying act is to inject the submersible capsule - PEM No. i, Captain
Pendleton and all, into the hip of unsuspecting Jack Putter, the assistant manager
at the supermarket, who is Pendleton's only means of retrlevinq the re-enlargement
PEM from Scrimshaw's qang.
Captain Dendleton directs Jack to contact Lydia Maxwell, a bright and beautiful
journalist, and together they gain ¸access to the scrimshaw lab with an elaborate
schem~e.
Scrimshaw's forces are led by Igoe, a bionic n~, and Dr. canker, Ione's creator.
Dr. canker has also created a miniaturization process. After IgOe's subjected to
it, his miniature body is injected into Jack to retrieve PEM No. I. frc~ Captain
Pendleton.
Thus are two climactic battle scenes set: one het~een ~ and Pendleton and the
other between scrimshaw's gang and Jack & Lydia.

She will be seen smoking throughout the film. In one scene slle

the trial hit the media, Sarah hears, and in all her confusion and pain, strikes out
at Katheryn, insisting that she's the c~e responsible for letting the rapists off so
easily. Feeling as if the case %~s taken out of her hands, Kathe/qn~ realizes what
Sarah said is true. She gave ~p too easy. She let the syst~ succeed where she had
failed.
Katheryn is now beginning to realize how i~portant it is to see j~stice served, not
only for Sarah but for herself as well. In a second courtroom battle, the defendants
are put on trial. This time it's not for the e~t of r~pe, hc~e~er, bat for solici-

STORY LINE: "Track 29" descril~s the cc~ically bizarre encounter
between
a dislocated young Englishman and a slowly unhinging American bousewlfe. The scene
is rural America, a sort of Anywhere, U.S.A., containing the usual bland hallmarks
of middle American culture - non-descript streets, bargain stores and ho~els,
formica restaurants and bars, and plenty of mi~d]e A~tericans. We begin at the
highway truck stop whwre Linda, our tlousewife heroine, first meets the manic,
unpredictable Martin. Martin, a young Engllsl~n who seems to have materialized out
of nowhere, approaches Linda and her friend, Arlanda, follows Linda bume, and
finally claims to be the long-lost son she gave up for adoption after- suffering a
rape in high school.
And linda is just vulnerable enough to be drdwn into Martin's strange fancies while
her husband, Dr. Henry Hendry, a man old enough to be her father and who finds his
beautiful, troubled young wife too baffling to be worth the effort of co~preh~n-
sion, loses himself in what he vows as the near-sublime hobhy of model railroading.
In the end, as both Linda and Henry separately try to save themselves as ~]leir
respective heavens ccrae crashing down, we witness a richly funny, often wrenching
portrayal of that most sacred, often flouted American institution called marriage.
And as we watch a marriage collapse, we see revealed scrae of the darkest hi,an
impulses.

They have two children, Billy Jean and Polly. They live a very modest li[estyle and keep
to their own kind. One day, they're visited by the sheriff who delivers an eviction
notice. It seems that Morgan Crawford, a greedy politician who doesn't understand the
needs of the poor, now owns the land. In an atter~pt to save their h(~ne, Aaron gets
involved in a shoot-out with the sheriff which results in his death. At present, wilma
and her two children are out to avenge his death.
Having robbed a bank, collecting a small fortune, they're on the road to find, and do
away with, Morgan Crawford. There are shoot-outs, car chases, hold-ups and more general
carnage than you can imagine. A well-known reporter, Daryl Pearson, even follows the
ladies on their escapade, hoping tow rite the story of the century, and becomes
romantically involved with Wilma. Thinking¸ it's the best way to get to Morgan Crawford,
they capture his son, Jerdan, who, after fighting to get away, decides to join forces
with the three ladies. Unlike his father, they're seemingly very interested in his
welfare.
UpOn visiting a roadhouse, wilma and Daryl become ~ntimate, while Folly and Jordon
secretly vow to marry when the chaos ends, and Billy Jean tries to find her niche in
lifo. In a her-room brawl, Wilma is shot, hut they're able to ditch the police and seek
help in "Hoovertown", a co~nunity of under-priviledged, homeless citizens. They soon
return "home", where they encounter another battle against the police and members of the
state militia. And just when everybody think's the three women have died, in a blazing
fire set by Morgan Crawford, we discover that they found safety in the cyclone cellar
Aaron MeClatchie built in the bas~nent which is able to withstand everything, even fire!
It seems a happy ending for our three ladies whose struggle to avenge Aaron McClatchie's
death is accomplished.

STORYLINE: A television n~wsman speaks quickly into a microphone from his on-
the-scene coverage of a massive pile-up. "Today", he says, "was the day when
legendary Maverick autoo~tive engineer Derek Jarryd was to unveil his much delayed
Jarryd /IT. Instead, what was unveiled %ms a tangled web of industrial espionage,
murder and deception." Derek would have gotten away with his plan had it not been
for the unlikely duo of Detective Tony Costas (Detroit Police Dept. ) and Detective
Fujitsuka Natsuo (Tokyo Police) who are the stars of the film.
"Collision Course" is a c~,ination of "48 Hours" and "Beverly Hills Cop" with the
wise craking Tony Costas whose "ready...shoot...aiml" approach is paired with
Fujitsuka Natsuo, who is the "Andy Griffith" of the far east. "Fuji" carries no gun
but is load~d with all sorts of silly proverbs. They are on the trail of Derek
Jarryd, a ficticious John Delorean who has stolen a Japanese turbo charger in order
to revitalize Detroit, the U.S. auto industry, but mainly his pockets.
The ccmbination of "Fuji" and Tony's own inimitable style lead them on a chase
through Detroit in search of the man who killed Tony's friend Stan, and stole the
automotive prototype from a factory in Japan.

Nick looks like he's no more than a good kid. When Dunbar's younger brother Matt is
arrested for the murder of an unpopular high school teacher, he uses his youthful
looks to help him solve the crLme. Wild, his partner, Ed Mmlmburg, posing as his
father, Dunbar goes undercover and enrolls in the high school.
A nun~oer of funny situatiens srise as Dunbar reacclimates himself to the diffi-
culties of tk~e high school social scene and peer pressure groups. Asong the
Obstacles Dunbar has to ov~r~ me: his attraction for an attractive yotLng
teacher, the aggressions of a high school bully, the advances of a frisky young
cheerleader and the advice of a crazy guidance counselor.
A~ Dunbar pokes around the school, a n~ber of clues seem to tie the murder to some
illegal goings-on 5~nvolving a fund-raising project. As the plot thickens, it
becomes apparent that several ~rc~ars of the faculty are using funds from a
fraudulent develo~_nt project for an account to dev~lop their pensions. Dunbar
DJece~ together ~he facts surrounding the pension sche~, but is unable to find a
motive for the rmarder.
r~en the 9~ilty teachers ~ forth and acquit their scheme to Dunbar, the absence of
one teacher points to him as the m~rderer. When he and Dunbar face off in the final
showdo~%, the t~acher reveals that the murder vr~s a crime of passion. The whole
thing involved a sordid love triangle l~twecn the nTardered teacher, this teacher and
th~ school's administrative a~sistant.
Matt is released from jail, and Nick returns again to high school - this ti~e to
arrange a date with the attractive young teache~.

STORYLINE: "Teen Wolf TOO" is a sequel to the first, starring Jason Bateman, with a
cameo appearance by Michael J. Fox.
Todd, who is scott's (Michael J. FOX) cousin, is accepted at Hamilton College, a
quaint, privately funded college. He has been accepted on a boxing scholarship,
although his desire is to be a veterinarian, and he has no boxing abilities
whatsoever. The boxing coach arranged for this scholarship because of his knowledge
of Todd2Peen Wolf's "condition", having witnessed Scott's abilities on the
basketball court at another college. The boxing team hasn't had a championship
season for years, and Todd is the school's hoped-for salvation.
Although Todd at first resists using his Teen Wolf advantage, the glory, a~ulation,
girls and Ferrari that the Dean offers him to make his stay more ommfortable, all
add to his using his "condition" to its uim~st advantage. In the process, he
becomes somewhat of an arrogant jerk, alienating the one girl, Nicki, he truly likes
and neglecting his studies.
He is finally challenged by his toughest cc~petitor to enter the boxing ring and
fight as a man. He recognizes his dilemma, how much things have gotten out of hand,
and ~ds with Nicki. She helps him cram for finals so that he can pass
legitimabely, and receives the help of his uncle (also a sometime-wolf) in a rousing
finale, boxing man to man, and achieving victory with his manly abilities.

~. Chet (Jo~m Candy) takes his wife and their two boys to the Big Co~qtry
on a vacation. He wants to return to the pure and single life and marvel in
natL~re I s %~Dnders.
~is family is not at all convinced that rc~ghing it at Wally and Juanita's rustic
(i.e. seedy) log cabin is the way to havp a good time. Matters proceed from bad to
worse when Co~e's sister, Kate, and her materialistic and boastful husband, Roman
(Dan Akroyd), and t~eRr weird, silent twin daughters decide to "surprise" them by
joining them.
Ec~an is a loud mouth who misses no opportunity to ridicule Chet for his simple
tastes and lack of worldly goods. He buys a round of drinks for the bar or orders
hearty dinners for the family, sticking Chef with the check. ~ile waterskiing,
Roman pulls Chet ~hrough weeds and st~ps, making him look ridiculc~s and fearful
for his life. Whatever the situation, Chet winds u~ looking like a sap, u~manly and
incc~tent, with Roman the see~*g hero.
Finally, Chet has had enough...he tells them to get out. AS Roman's f~mily is about
to drive ~f in their sleek Mercedes, Roman breaks down and admits that he's a fraud
and a "slimy hustleru, as ~et had called b/m, and that he and Kate haven't had sex
in years and that they virtually ~ no n~ney. In a dramatic ending, ROUgh shows
his true good qualities when he, with the help of Chet, rescue the twins in the
face of grave danger, and everyone (including the silent twins who usually only
scream) expresses love and affection for each other.

STORYLINE
"Critical Condition" is a contemDorary comedy situated in a hospital on an island off the
Atlantic Ocean.
Lenahan is the king of the scealmers and after being busted during a fake fur deal, h~ fries to
scam his way out of a prison sentence by pleading insanity! He temporarily buys some time as
he is sent to the psychiatric ward of the hospital for observation. Unfortunately, he is not
fooling anyone and if ]coks like prison awaits him in the very near future. Lenahan, in a
panic, sneaks out of the ward and tries to doctor up his file.
Meanwhile, a terrible hurricane has hit the island and the po%er in the hospital fails. To
top it off, fhe e~aerqency generator has failed as well. Needless to say, the hospital is in
need of funds!
Rachel, the Administrative Head of the hospital, sftnnbles upon ienahan and, asstnning he is the
new doctor they are expecting, enlists his much needed aid in the ~ergency room.
So, Lenahan is forced to participate in yet another scare. He artfully avoids dealing with
patients and tries to escape the hospital. When all of his attempts fail, he starts to help
the nurses try and restore order as well as saving the lives of all the ICU patients who live
by the machines that no lonqer work.
In a very comical series of events, he comes up with ingenius ideas for restoring power, moral
and order in the hospital. During this period, we see a chanqe in DAnahan as he truly starts
to care about something other than himself. An attraction between he and Rachel grows during
this time as well.
When his scare is discovered, however, he loses the trust Rachel has invested in him, despite
all the good he has done. He is forced to try and escape once again until a criminal patient
takes Rachel hostage. Lenahan saves her life a~d this time she helps him get away.
The 17~mance just starting, we know these two will be together somehow and that Lenahan is no
longer the sca~aer he once used to be.

Walter know, he is about to e~abark o~ the blind date of his life.
Nadia, Walter's date, is as beautiful as Ted said. She has one probl(m,, however.
She cannot drink as she literally goes crazy under the effects of alcohol. Walter
doesn't pay much heed to this warning, haw~ver, and he ConviDces her to share a
bottle of Dora PeriQnon with him before the banquet. By the thne they arrive, the
champagne has taken effect.
Everyone is appreciatively impressed with Walter's choice in women until she begins
her craziness. Nedia transforms into a Dr. Jeckyll of sorts. She is embarrassingly
honest and full of comic trouble. The rest of the evening is one of horror for
Walter and humor for us! Nadia proceeds to get him fired, cause a brawl in a
discoteque and pot them in the midst of one of the largest drug busts is LOs
Angeles. All the while, they are being chased by David, Nadia's psychotic
ex-boyfriend, who is intent on killing Walter.
Walter ends up in jail potentially facing many years in prison. David, a brilliant
defense lawyer, is the only one who can get Walter off and he will only do that if
Nadia agrees to marry hi~. Quite a twist, huh? The worst part of this all is,
despite their terrible evening together, Walter and Nadia like each other!

hapless, b~bling nice guy who has squandered the f~mily business with bad
investn~nts and bad advice, pr~ily from chief advisor and co~pany Vice President,

STORY LINE: "The Running Man" is an intense film about the
future.
The prem~ looks at "1984" exaggerated. The "Big Brother" concept has become
frighteningly real.
P/chards ~orked for the government but was thrown in jail after he refused to bomb a
supermarket filled with shoppers. In the opening scenes of the film, he escapes and
struggles to get out of the city zone to freedom.
Everyone, except Richands and his prisoner frieeds, is brainwashed by the network.
They broadcast their propaganda thn~ugh television and huge video screens are
located on eve~ street corner. Anyone going against the network is breaking the
law and usually pat into one of the many fatal ga~es that are aired on the network. •
The m~st gruesame and exciting one to viewers is "The Game" in which the victim
attempts to pet frem one end of a maze to the other while being stalked by network
killers. The game is aired live and thus everyone sees the struggle.
Richards never makes it c~t of the zone. He is recaptured and put into this game
along with his two prison-mates and the female who captured him. Richards and the
girl successfully evade the stalkers bet his friends are not so lucky. During the
game, Richards takes advantage of the live onverage and sends nut his own messages -
messages against the network that people begin to listen to. Not only does he
escape the maze, but he also returas to the network and destroys it and all it
stands for. The growing support of the masses leaves us with the f~eling that good
will prevail!
~IAL
EXPOSURE:
We provided AMERICAN TOBACCO slgnage for street scenes that occur
throughout the film. Richards spends a lot of time on the rdn
and passes through many sections of town that still have a 1986-
1990 feel to them. The "period" signage is still in evidence
and A~ZRICAN TOB~/:CO should r~ceive good exposure.

Everyone f~els for his death, but no one more then his older brother (also a cop).
Having returned te the force after a brief break, his sadness and silence are almost
deafening.
Suddenly, police officers are dyinq in very mysterious ways. All of them appear to

search for fulfillment in a strange land.
The story revolves around Alek Near, an, a Russian Jew and former Soviet boxing
champion now living in Brighton Beach, BrOOklyn. Working as a waiter in a local
Russian restaurant, Alek finds life in America isn't what he had hoped it would he
and, as a result, he becomes a bitter and disillusioned man. Things begin to change
when he qoes to the local underground hexing matches and notices two particularly
promising young fighters: Tim~V Boyle, a cocky Irish/Ital~an; and Eoland Jenkins, a
streetwise black kid.
When Alek learns that the Russian boxing team coached by his old adversary,
Malinovsky, is cc~ing to nearby Atlantic city to challenge the Americans, he decides
to coach the two boys and enter them in the tournament. Intense training ensues
du~ing which Alek transforms the fighters into skilled boxers and the two boys are
forced to confront and overcome their cultural and racial prejudices. At the
climatic meeting of the Russian and American boxers, Ti~my is forced to go it alone
due to a dr~afic accident that keeps Roland out of the ring. Scared, but
determined to realize his ow~ dreams as well as those of his coach, the young
fighter triumphs, carrying Alek to victory with him.

STORY LINE: Umstetter is in prison for life, without parole, and
tries harder than anything to take his own life. He fails at every attempt. X11e
only thing that keeps him alive is a new interest in reading. After reading a few
plays about prison, Umstetter writes his own and puts together a prison cast to
perform for the other, inmates. The play ~s a huge success, and word gets out about
this drama/comedy. A drama critic (Lillian) comes to see the play and is so
impressed that she brings an influential starlet to one of the performances. The two
of them finally get Umstetter out of jail so that he can take his play on the road.
That's where he and Lillian fall in love.
Umstetter rounds up his prison cast, and the rest of the story revolves around their
cross-country trip to New York, performing at various college campuses along the
way. The play is not well--received in the outside world, and performances are
cancelled left and right. Money is short, one of the prisoners dies, and it is
discovered that Umstetter's play is mostly plagiarized. Through Lilllan's
inspiration, he rewrites the play and continues his trek for New York. The play is
performed off-Broadway. The big night is received with a lukewarm reception, so they
shut down soon after.
They have one last performance at a New York prison, where it so inspires the inmates
that a riot breaks out. Another of our performers is killed, but everyone else
survives the upheaval. In fact, the performance causes such a problem that
Umstefter's play makes it to BrOadway~ as everyone wants to see the play that caused
the prison riot.
POTFaNTIAL We provided LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTES for Eddie to smoke throughout the
EXPOSURE: film. The exposure should be excellent! There is a grea~ scene where
Eddie buys a pack of LUCKY STRIKES from Betty Bo0p. PALL MALL CIGARETTES
will als0 he seen on the cigarette tray in this scene. We also provided
a 1947 billboard and assorted subway and store sisns from the period, All
of the signage will receive excellent exposure. This is a great opportu-
nity for ~MERICAN TOBACCO.

with the owner's son~ Dattle~ when she is assigned to drive him to Napa Valley.
Much to everyone's relief, however, the real father, Giles, who was secretly married zo
Casey's mother and who is a driver as well~ steps forward.
The story ends with Casey and Battle in marital bliss and the once disgusted drivers

Michael Caine who plays Stanley (the Screenwriter). Having very differenz ideas, both
men are working hard at putting together a movie: "Sweet Liberty" based on a novel
written hy Hichae]. And though this movie takes place during contemporary times, the
story is based in eighteenth century, North Carolina and deals with the historical events
of that time period. This film is a r~alis~ic and touching story of Mary Slocumb and
her husband who has gone to fight the British. While he is away, their farm is taken
over by the British Army.
Bo~ the directo~ of "Sweet Liberty" believes this historical story should he made comical
in order to appe&l to a larger audience. Michael is adamantly against this~ but has
little to say, as the rights of the film have already been sold.
In an effort to save his novel from being misconstrued, Michael joins the cast of "Sweet
Liberty" and rigs the set to make the film as historically accurate as possible. In
the end, he successfully changes the effect of the film, makdng it much more realistic.
Everyone, including Be; the director, is happy with the final result.
Gretchen (MichaelIs long time steady) and Michael finally wed and all the films temporary

David is a highly successful adverhising e~cutive whose ability to create fantastic
ideas at the spur of the moment has recently earned him a promotion. David's life
is at its peak. He is extremely s~ccessful in every aspect of his life - work,

David's mother and fa~ler (Lorraine & Max) split after 34 years of marrlage. David,
who has nothing in cc~mon with either parent, is suddenly thrc~ into their lives.
Max especially needs David after he loses his job because of his age and failing eye
sight, and David is forced to take time off work to help h/re.
Through both h~norous and painful experiences with Max, David goes through a lot of
changes. When Max is diagnosed as having diabetes, and is rushed to the hospital,
David realizes that love, friendship, and family are far more i~portant than mater-

SUBJECT: Exposure in the Feature Film "American Way"¸
STORYLLNE:
The "American Way" is the bizarre story of eight renegade Viet Nam War Veterans, jaded by
the futility of their war experience and embittered when afterwards their country turned
its back on them. In retaliation, they operate S&MTV, an airborne pirate broadcasting
center on board The Mstal Mistress. They fly around the U.S., overriding television
programming with an anarchic format all ¸their own. They're Rock N' Roll Freedom
Fighters. Their audience loves them or hates them.
The story begins when the Crew wants to call it quits and land The Metal Mistress for
good. • But the captain convinces them of one last mission they must perfona: Mrs. Willa
Westinghouse, an arch-conservative, hawkish Presidential candidate, is becoming
increasingly successful in her election efforts. She must not be allowed to make it to
the White House lest she impose the sane militaristic mentality responsible for the Viet
Nam debacle.
At the same time, Mrs. Westibghouse's advisor suggests she align herself with the
fundamentalist religious movenent to augment her growing support. The obvious rationale
is for holy war...for God will be on her side. The TV Evangelists she a~braces direly
predict the second coming of Christ unless Westinghouse is elected.
Nick, the promiscuous ground-based S~MTV Reporter, is given the task of unearthing facts
about Westinghouse in the hopes of blemishing her image ~o that she cannot win.
All the while, SaMTV beams their own disquieting program format; loud, ~ing,
non-stop Rock N' Roll cQmbined with a special brand of ~narchic commentary. When they
begin disrupting news broadcasts and TV shows on which Westinghouse or religious
conspirators appear, Westinghouse decides to fight back. She convinces military
higher-ups to attar to blow the Metal Mistress out of the sky. And more than once they
attempt it, hat do not succeed.
It all comes down to the revelation the Mrs. Westinghouse is a man! Christ actually
returns - but in the form of a green, Martian-like apparition. And he ccn~s down on the
side of the Rock N' Roll Freedom Fighters. Their mission is a success.

and Elizabeth Garcey (Haley)
"Fever Dream" centers on Dick Kendred, a struggling science fiction writer
yet to achieve any kind of success. But Dick is both attractive and funny. In spite
of his bad luck, his sense of htm~Dr helps him survive.
The story opens as Dick meets Diane Freed, an old friend from college. Diane has a PhD. in
biology. She is very successful in her chosen field and is participating in a research
project at a local 'university. She suggests Dick rent a room in the house she is t~mporarily
residing. Dick quickly moves in with Sheila Dibble, the divorcee who owns the house, and her
Lolita-like daughter, Haley.
Dick struggles to write a science fiction story entitled "The Galactic Chain Gang". Scenes
from this fictional story begir[ to become intercut wlt/, Dick's life in the house. A side
effect from this is Dick's gradual refusal to go outside, especially since Sheila & Haley
attend to his needs both inside and outside of the house.
Dick finishes writing his story, on which all his hopes are pinned. Diane reads the story and
tells him that it isn't very good, that he can do much better. This criticism sends Dick into
an even deeper depression. Sheila & Dick become involved during his confused state, and Diane
soon learns of their coupling. This re-doubles the level cf Dick's angst, because he feels he
has lost the respect of >is old friend. Eventually, Dick doesn't even want to get Out of bed,
where he is afflicted by strange fever dreams.
Now both Daley and Sheila lose interest in Dick. Haley goes away to cheerleading camp, and
Sheila leaves for a tour of Europe, with firm plans to sell the house. Diane, too, can no
longer stau~d the oppressive enviro~%ment a~Jd plans to leave. She urges Dick to ~ along, and
tells him that he must make an effort to leave the house. After Diane leaves, Dick wanders
alone in his self-created trap. His seclusion reaches the point of starvation. He ventures
outside, and faces a world t]lat seems hostile arld strange after his long withdrawal. His trip
across town to Diane is a rite of passage.
At the story's end, Dick has co~ full circle. He has grown from his vivid experiences and he
n~w has the dept/] to be a truly good and successful writer.
