Enjoy life. Any day. With MlDOL. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Diary of a TilmTestival Seven Arts' vice-president of advertising and public relations, was queried about why Hollywood is making so many "sad" films.

He replied: "Comedies, as splendid as they might be, are much more difficult and, indeed, sometimes impossible to make for world audiences. All major companies, for obvious reasons, want to make movies for the world market, and comedies in most cases are too specialized for that." Coppola explained the title, The Rain People, as meaning married people who had problems that made them cry. He told of explaining this to his old Italian grandmother who had asked him: "Then why didn't you just call the movie, The People Who Cry a Lot?" TUESDAY MORNING: There are 1 10 cabs on this island, and perhaps 25 of them are serving the festival. Five hundred people starting from one spot and all trying to reach a mutual destination at about the same time poses a true test of gamesmanship and athletic prowess particularly in the rain (someone must have been "crying a lot" last night). The movie, The Great Bank Robbery, was a high-budget, low-comedy western.

It wasn't much of a vehicle for talent, but then, there wasn't much talent in need of a ride. Kim Novak has never been accused of being a Thespian and, after last night, Clint Walker won't be either. Akim Tami-roff and Larry Storch, as father and son bandits, were screamingly funny. Dinner has become an intriguing experience. Only got a few bites again, because if one stops to listen, talk, or take a drink of water, a waiter whisks away whatever course is on the table.

It takes an hour-and-a-half to reach the theater which is only a mile-and-a-half away, but 500 people can be served a five-course meal with wine in less than half-an-hour. TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Busby Berkeley's appearance saved this morning's press conference; Kim Novak didn't show up until 11:10. The grand old man of Hollywood musical extravaganza fame, at 73, is hoping for a revival of that once-golden era. "My musicals used to help kill the feeling of depression. People reacted to the music and beautiful sets, and felt better.

Don't tell me they the studios can't do the same today. The press could help promote a new era of entertainment, if they wanted to," said Berkeley. He thinks movies should offer respite from violence and tragedy. "We all need a breather and it's the entertainment industry's obligation to supply it." From Miss Novak we learned two things: she improvised her strip scene in the movie; and she is being sued More Security With FALSE TEETH By KAY HURLEY At Any Time ree-lance writer Kay Hurley, a for Don't be so afraid that your false teeth will come loose or drop Just at the wrong time. For more security and more comfort.

Just sprinkle a little FASTEETH on your plates. FASTEETH holds both uppers and lowers firmer loneer. Makes eating easier. FASTEETH Is ulkuline. No Rummy, pasty taste! Dentures that nt are essential to health.

See your dentist regularly. Get FASTEETH. THOSE HORRID AGE SPOTS Pennsylvania Turnpike, she checks into a motel and hastily strips to the waist; then dawdles through a series of emotional stances that are supposed to depict frustration and exhaustion. Finally, she crawls into bed. What woman, thus tormented, would behave that way? She'd be more apt to throw herself, fully clothed, across the bed and either fall into a troubled sleep, or have one glorious case of hysterics.

MONDAY NIGHT: At the regular 10 a.m. press conference this morning, someone in discussing the motel sequence (and another in which Miss Knight jumped out of her adulterer's bed in her birthday suit clutching a sheet) referred to Miss Knight as being "wrapped in a sheet showing a flick of tail." Miss Knight straightened up, gazed sternly through her granny glasses at the questioner, and said: "Sir, I am a lady, and I do not appreciate that kind of language. I do not associate with people who talk that way and do not intend to listen to it." Richard Lederer, Warner mer movie magazine editor, was one of 400 press guests at the Warner Arts International Film Festival on Grand Bahama Island recently. Communications people from around the world were flown into Freeport to preview six movies intended to give "a panoramic view of the film art of 1969." These are some of her comments on the daily activities. SUNDAY MIDNIGHT: Off to a bad start, but that probably means things will improve.

Tonight's movie, The Rain People, is about a young married woman, played by Shirley Knight, who discovers she" is pregnant, and feels trapped. Given a common, everyday woman's problem, she manages to parlay it into a ridiculous and sordid adventure. Francis Ford Coppola, the director-producer, seems dedicated, talented, and self-indulgent. I keep wishing his picture had been better, more honest. Instead, it is tricky.

For instance: Torn by emotional exhaustion, and bent upon being alone to think, Miss Knight takes off in her station wagon.
