8C February 12, 1981 THURSDAY THE CLARION-LEDGER 'Movie Quote Book9 holds film writers to their words cient pelican." (Regis Toomey, as John Wayne limps away in The High and the Mighty.) MARRIAGE: "Getting married is serious business. It's kinda formal, like funerals or playing stud poker." (William Gargan in They Knew What They Wanted.) TELEPHONE SCENES: "Hello. Is this someone with good news or money? No? Goodbye." (Jason Robards in A Thousand Clowns.) VIOLENCE: "I caught the blackjack right behind my ear. A black pool opened at my feet I dived in. It had no bottom." (Richard Powell in Farewell, My Lovely.) It may seem odd that a guy saves movie quotes the way some guys save twine.

But quote-keeper Haun says he's never tossed out any of those he's jotted down. One day he got to thinking about them. This caused the book, fleshed out with more quotes from the more elderly movies you get late at night on TV, if you're lucky. The old quotes often were matched against the old scripts. They didn't always match, he notes, so he used what actually was said in the film.

Being a movie buff helped in other ways. A prime example: He didn't need to see Casablanca again or check the script to know that Humphrey Bogart never said, "Play it again, Sam" to the piano player. Never happened. The closest we get to that line is where Bogie's old flame, Ingrid Bergman, comes unexpectedly into Bogie's bar and says, "Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By." By JAY SIIARBUTT lb Associated Prtm Once I read the script of a really awful Foreign Legion movie, March or Die.

It contained this line: "You assured me, DuPont, that there would be no turmoil in Morocco." It's oddly soothing to say this line aloud, particularly in a crowded elevator. My only regret Is that it's not included in a fine new book just out, The Movie Quote Book. But then, author Harry Haun, a mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan daily, deliberately shunned lousy dialogue when choosing 2,876 quotes from 571 films for his tome. "I wanted to celebrate screenwriters, not put them down," says Haun, a Texan who came to Hollywood in 1975 to write about films and Inmates thereof after 10 years of movie-reviewing at the Nashville Tennesse-an. His criteria for quotation in The Movie Quote Book, he says, is that the lines be am-ous, or funny, or memorable.

He's put them into 373 categories, such as: CHILDREN: "Well, there won't be no patter of little feet in my house unless I was to rent some mice." (A forlorn Peggy Lee in Pete Kelly's Blues.) DYING WORDS: "Cancel my appointments." (Sylvia Sidney in Summer Wishes, Summer Dreams.) ELEPHANTS: "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas 111 never know."

Magnum (Tom Selleck) to the rescue. What makes the Magnum drama unique is that the one-time lovers are portrayed 40 years later by June Lockhart and Jose Ferrer. The resemblance should be startling. Anne Lockhart has her mother's eyes but her own brand of brown-haired beauty. She is 27.

In interviews both Anne and Miguel seemed bright, ambitious, confident. They had similar reactions to the inevitable question about the help or hinderance of a famous name. "Sure, your parent's name can get you the first job and maybe the second," said Anne. "But then you have to prove yourself. You can't fall on your face quietly; you do it in front of everybody.

And there are a lot of people out there waiting for you to fall on your face. So you have to work twice as hard." "You have to be certain of yourself as an individual," added Miguel. "You have to be confident, a money player. My biggest problem is overcoming the fact that my father was is such a terrific actor. If I dwell on that, I might feel like giving up." Miguel was the eldest of five children of Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney.

"I was never treated like a kid," he recalled. "My parents allowed me to attend their cocktail parties and dinners, and they never spoke to me like a child." The family spent some time in New York and a year in London, but mostly on Roxbury Drive in mid-Beverly Hills. When Miguel was 11, his parents divorced. "I didn't learn until two years ago that they were divorced two years before that." he said. "Nobody told me at the time." A drummer from the age of eight, Miguel played in the band and also conducted for Rosemary's singing tours.

"Then in 1963 she had a complete nervous breakdown and spent months in the hospital trying to get herself together," he said. "So from the age of 13 to 14, 1 was doing pretty much what I wanted to." That included the drug scene. Miguel said he enjoyed marijuana for a year until he decided "it was taking my intelligence away." He tried LSD "but it frightened me to He added: "What pulled me through was I knew I Appearing at the Coliseum Ramada Inn Miguel Ferrer, top left, and Anne Lock- Lockhart, bottom line, during an episode hart, top right, play earlier roles of their of Magnum, P.I. tonight at 8 o'clock, in real life parents, Jose Ferrer and June which the four will appear.

Anne Lockhart is actually a fourth-generation performer, her great-grandfather was a concert singer and her grandfather was character actor Gene Lockhart. She was born in New York, her parents divorced when she was two, June then married architect John Lindsev.

Jose Ferrer new agent 'killing' him with deluge of parts The Associated Press Joan of Arc in 1948, Cyrano de Bergerae in '50, Moulin Rouge'm 1953, 1 Accuse! in 1958 and Cyrano and D'Artagnan in '64. "It seems," says Jose Ferrer, "I play more Frenchmen than anyone else. I think sometimes I should get the Legion of Honor." In fact, the veteran actor's apparent inclination toward characters from French history (the artist Toulouse-Lautrec in Moulin Rouge, the persecuted Capt.

Alfred Dreyfus in I Accuse?) may be no more than that apparent. "I have never, with maybe three exceptions, preferred one role over another," Ferrer says. "One exception was a movie, Lawrence of Arabia. Working with Peter O'Toole, who played Lawrence, and David Lean, who directed the film, that was caviar and champagne. "The other exceptions were on the stage.

I played Iago in Othello, with Paul Robeson. That was heady wine, indeed. And years later, I did Man of La Mancha, replacing Richard Kiley. I enjoy doing musicals, and that particular story, perhaps because of my Latin antecedents, was a thrill. "With those exceptions, I've never had favorites," he says.

"You get a job, you do it the best you can, and when it's over, you treat it like an old friend you may never see again. And like old friends, I don't want to put one over the other." Though he was a prominent figure on the stage and screen for more than four decades, much of Ferrer's recent work has been off-stage, as director or producer. He appears twice in two months on CBS, however, and recently completed a role in a two-part film, Peter and Paul, yet to be scheduled by the network. The first appearance is Thursday at 8 p.m. on Channel 12 in an episode of the new series, Magnum, P.I.

Ferrer, an Oscar-winner as best actor in Cyrano de Bergerae, and his son Miguel portray the same character in scenes separated by 40 years. "I had been languishing on the vine a bit," Ferrer says, about 15 months ago, I got a new agent. He's darn-near killed me. i "In five weeks in November and December, I went to Europe twice, England four times, Puerto Rico once and made a couple of other side trips. It was murder, but I like to travel, and I met plenty of interesting people, too." Ferrer returns to the night of March 25 in Berlin Tunnel 21.

a movie about a group's attempt to help loved ones escape from East Germany by digging a tunnel beneath the Berlin Wall. Richard Thomas and Horst Bucholz also star in the three-hour production. Berlin Tunnel 21 was filmed on location in West Berlin, and Peter and Paul, starring Anthony Hopkins and Robert Foxworth, is in production in Greece. Ferrer has completed work on his part. The episode of Magnum, PL, a private eye series set in Hawaii, was filmed in Honolulu during New Year's week.

Known for years as a motion picture actor, Ferrer now devotes most of his time before the camera to television. "It's a circumstance, rather than a preference," he says. "I don't seem to do many movies these days. There is so much demand in television for what they call "I don't know that the work is any different from the standpoint of the actor. In doing a film, the pace is a bit more leisurely.

From the actor's standpoint, maybe it's like the difference between doing a poster and a painting." he says. "Chagall, Braque, other artists best known for their paintings, they did posters, too." Ferrer, whose father was a lawyer, was studying architecture at Princeton when a classmate lured him into a campus production called It the Valet. A year or two later, while studying French in graduate school at Columbia, Ferrer decided to turn professional. That was in 1935, and his first part was in a summer stock production in Suffern, N.Y. Within he year, he had a small role in a Broadway production called A Slight Case of Murder.

He devoted the next dozen years to the stage, before accepting a role in the movie Joan of Arc. kJtV f-zi 1 IlllllJSfl 1 i Ui The Gangster Chronicles AN AMERICAN STORY In the tradition of "The Godfather" and "The The story of 3 men, their marriages, their mistresses and their search for power.
