Inn raferaW films he has made Bruce Brown is willing to venture his entire fortune to make his next movie. "I want to show something fantastic that nobody knows about, that's just as action a month making my first movie.

The food was Just growing there and yoo could go and buy a pound of stew meat for 25 cents. Then I lived in Froom's Rooms in Waikiki for $20 a month in a room where a guy had just died two days before I arrived. When I came they just moved him out and turned over the mattress." Brown, whose origins were humble, chose the hard path. "I took a motorcycle trip from California to Mexico where there were no roads. It was dangerous, but I survived.

After the service, I took a trip from Los Angeles to Mexico in a 1950 Kaiser car. The gas tank was wired on and we had 15 flat tires slept right on the road at night with the peasants. "if )( FILMING "THE ENDLESS Summer" was not exactly strolling down Easy Street, either. Following the summer 35,000 miles around the world meant exploring unknown, treacherous, shark-filled water, possibly hostile tribes In Africa, and a variety of unexpected dangers.

But I believe in truth. I'd rather make one good film about something real every 10 years than one bad Hollywood film every month." scorns the hypocritical fever that fires the totems of status today education and the almighty dollar. "I went to college for less than a semester. I quit because my professor was teaching me to be closeminded. So many kids come out of school today closeminded and cynical, then it takes them years to get some reason back.

"The trouble with college is that; it teaches you how to do something and later it's so baud to break out of that rut, to regain some individuality. Why spend four years reading about something you can read about in six months? I was making films at 19 and read every single book, article, and magazine on photography that I could find. You have to know the rules before you can break them." HE RECALLS THE EARLY days of surfing. "I used to body surf and then I used to get up at dawn to steal a neighbor's surfboard and get it back before they woke up. I remember running home screaming when I rode my first wave.

In the macrocosmos of Academy Award winners, "The Endless Summer" would last about two weeks. That's what those in the know said 32 weeks ago.

Since then, "The Endless Summer" has won Scholastic Magazine's Bell Ringer Award will be recommended for an Academy Award is still drawing capacity audiences across the country has broken box office records and outsold films like "Zhivago" and "Sound of Music." Variety lists it as seventh in top box office sales and critics acclaim it as "exciting, thrilling entertainment." Teeny surfers flock to it, anti-surfing adultes are surfing, and surfboard companies are raking in the wampum. So is producer-photographer Bruce Brown. Endless Summer" has been playing at the Coronet Theater, Thurston Road, since before Christmas, and will continue for at least two more weeks.) fc BROWN IS MORE CON-cerned with communicating truth than basking In success more in love with living than accumulating. He's wearing the same suit he went around the world in back in 1963 and he only has one other it's identical "I just bought a Mercedes," he'll tell you. "My wife and I get in it and giggle at all the buttons.

But it's not flashy, it looks like a Nash Rambler." He'd rather ride in his Jeep. "I have a 200-acre ranch in the High Sierra with my own rest there's something about walking for an hour and knowing the land is yours. Money is nothing but a tool to get things you want. It sure buys some fun things, though, and I love it. But if I just them.

The bathing girls, minus all but an ounce of the clothing they used to wear, are still with us. The vamps have gone the way of round garters and blushing girls. Now let's look at the male heroes. Several weeks ago we wrote about the disappearance of the sweet heroine, what with all the prettiest girls playing psychotics, drunks, thieves, prostitutes and dullards In various degrees.

What has happened to the men is entirely a different story. If they have managed to salvage, to substantial degree, manhood and heroism in their screen images, they are not exactly the handsome men they used to be. FEATURE TODAY AT DOORS OPEN MON.

D.C.) Alumna, N.t Womon'i Committ. of Brand.ii Univ.rtity. RICHARD HARRIS as Rafer Uoxworth Unsmiling Caine Hard-Fisted Steve The new screen fashion in masculinity leans 45 degrees to the ugly, rugged or not and heroic or not. Take Michael Caine, as all the world does these days. The man of the year in movie stardom (so proclaimed in a variety of pools) ranks as a new Humphrey Bogart.

That is, he's a bitter-edged guy with a hidden heart in the roles be plays. Caine is a Cockney boy who trimmed his accent, adopted a name from a movie marquee and traveled from poverty to millions in a decade. He regards his world through glasses with a heavy-lidded, unsmiling gaze. They say he really likes his fellow humans, mostly, and has a good time at parties. But you wouldn't say it to look at him.

'E is almost glum, he is. Another who is increasing his wealth these days is Steve McQueen, whose life in many ways parallels that of Caine as a boy who struggled his way out of hard work at unskilled labor and looks the part of the boy who made it with his fists or could have. He's the gambler, the hell-for-leather hero or the cool spy or the mixed-up ex-kid but he's never giving the girls that gently, courtly glance of which William Ilolden is capable, of which Charles Boyer was the greatest practitioner and for fcvhich Clark Gable earned some of his fame. The last year has given us Dave Warner of "Morgan!" who made an enormous hit but not for his looks, and we'll soon be seeing shaggy-haired David Hemmings of similar style. He appears in the new Antonioni film, "Blow Up." Some Make the Grade with Just Talent Peter Sellers is another whose blessings run to talent HI JOSEPH EUVINE I presents 1 JENNIFER JOKES MICHAEL PARKS THE MIRISCH CORPORATION PRESENTS JULIE ANDREWS MAX VON SYDOW RICHARD HARRIS in THE GEORGE ROY HILL-WALTER MIRISCH PRODUCTION of "HAWAII" nedoataurikr ifode-ELMER BERNSTEDl PANAVTSION COLOR by DeLca ui John JENNIFER HILARY Oi 6UY OOLEMAM rather than physiognomy.

Max Van Sydow, mentioned for a place in the Oscar derby this year because of his portrayal of a puritanical man of God in "Hawaii" is formidably ugly at least in that part. Fair-haired boys with blue eyes, you'll notice, predominate in the new crop. Of course there are Richard Barton, Pan! Newman and Cary Grant to offset any dangerously engulfing trend to plain appearance, but, on the other hand, our old friend Walter Matthau who looks like an antidote to Leonard Bernstein, came into unexpected, big stardom this year with "Fortune Cookie." And then there are the Beatles! And Anthony Newley! We'd be trying to spread the wrong impression to say that all these un-handsome men are top boxoffice stars because it isn't so. In order of money-making pull last year the leaders are Sean Connery, Jack Lemmon, Richard Burton, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Paul Newman, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra, Peter Sellers, James Stewart, Dick Van Dyke, Rock Hudson, Rex Harrison, Jerry Lewis, Charlton Heston. But what per centage of those, would you say, belong to the vanishing breed of tall, dark and handsome? At what point should a man stop? EXCLUSIVE RESERVED-SEAT ENGAGEMENT BEGINS FEBRUARY 15th!
