THE GUARDIAN Thursday October 2S 19C5 9 review Khartoum: the anatomy of a blockbuster WHAT THEY SAID Gordon (on arrival at Khartoum in 1884) Khartoum is as safe as Kensington Gardens. Frank Powers Times correspondent Khartoum in 1884: "General Gordon is indeed the best and greatest man of this century." War Office official (1884) The man is not worth the camels." Charlton Heston I hope it's the last time I ever have to get on a camel. It's the ugliest, meanest, most bad-tempered animal God ever created. Who was it who said the camel was designed by a committee Johnny Seklca Camels are like cats. Basically they prefer to be independent of human beings and so human beings resent them." Charlton Heston: "This is the third time I've ridden a camel in a film, and I don't care if I never see another.

I've parted the Red Sea, painted the Sistine Chapel, why can't I make a film like Cary Grant? You know be allowed to act in a room and pour drinks for girls." Robert Ardrey: "The film conference Is the curse of the business and makes it very unattractive from the point of view of the writer. I don't want to be any director's secretary." Richard Johnson I think an actor can read too much. After all, it's the script you've got to play and nothing else." Camp follower you give me a lift to the Pyramids, please BY IAN WRIGHT BLOCKBUSTERS arc probably the most expensive entertainment known to man by their impact they are designed to draw him from his television into the cinema. They use the widest screens, the most colourful colour, the best known stars, and they must be capable of latching on to large audiences of ail ages and of all tastes from Timis-kimlng to Timbuktu. They must cover their production costs (at least) by exhibition in the United States and make their profit in the rest of the world.

Invariably, Americans pay for them to be made, although to qualify for a subsidy they are. of ten made in Britain. Leftt On location near Cairo. Below: Basil Dearden (seated), Charlton Heston (foreground). N.

F. SIMPSON'S "THE CRESTA RUN" at the Royal Court by Philip Hope-Wallace- NF. SIMPSON'S new two-hour play "The Cresta Run" outstayed its welcome on the stage of the Royal Court Theatre last night. Friendly not to say indulgent laughter which had greeted every possible laconic absurdity or lunatic non sequitur in the first half began ominously to die out in the second. I think few people present in a not badly filled house can have regretted-the fall of the curtain.

This satirical extravaganza about counter-espionage had just not developed its promise. The promise had been considerable. We know the author, as a humorist with a nice turn of phrase and a line which gently mocks and deflates the lunatic jargon of organised life. On the face of it, the secret service in the person of Sebastian Shaw, a prey' to subversive impulses, blundering into the home of a humble couple (Frank Williams and Avril Elgar) and being met in his cloak and dagger plans with unsurprised tolerance should have built up into a splendid fantasy. Miss Elgar said "I see" and "I will tell him," meaning her boyish husband who loves playing at disguises, and won laughs.

The husband appeared dressed as a black bear in order to hoodwink the Russians. In Whitehall, the security fellahs played with microdots and a magic lantern which reproduced the same slides twice running. References to such things as a concrete mixer belonging to Tottenham Borough Council or to much spying which revealed nothing more than the ilans of the Embankment also won their tribute, but in sum it was a tepid affair, sheepishly acted. HANNIKAINEN and the HALLE at the Free Trade Hall by John McCabe LAST NIGHTS Halle concert at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, wis a well-balanced programme, full of interest; finely performed, and made especially memorable by two Finnish works, one of which was receiving its first British performance. This was "Opus Sonorum" by the 44-year-old Kokkonen, one of Finland's leading contemporaries, and it proved to be a work in serial idiom, sounding rather less unplayable than many of its kind.

Some warm and directly emotional moments- helped to make its coherent structure readily apparent at first hearing, though the ending seemed a little inconclusive. The Fourth Symphony of Sibelius, though performed occasionally, is by no means as familiar as most of his others. Last night' performance was, for me, a revelation, but one of such peculiar intensity that I am not sure I would like to undergo the experience every week. The slow movement in particular is profoundly disturbing, with vague and uncomfortable psychological undertones that are far removed from the optimism of, say, 'his Second or Seventh symphonies, and the almost nihilistic shallowness of the Scherzo still eludes me. The performance of both works was (or, in the Kokkonen, seemed) magnificent: the much-maligned strings of the HalJ5 Orchestra sounded full and rich, and there were some fine wind solos.

Wolfgang Marschner was the soloist in a slightly disappointing performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto only at times, notably in the first movement Coda and in the second movement, was there the ethereal quality so necessary to this work, and the Finale seemed to lack some of its usual sparkle, in spite of Mr Marschner's considerable virtuosity. Tauno Hannikainen, the guest conductor, -is obviously a master of his art; seldom can the Prelude to Act 1 of Lohengrin have had such spellbinding atmosphere, or such a shattering climax, and throughout the concert the orchestra responded admirably to his clear and sympathetic direction. Let us hope that we have further opportunities of hearing him again, soon. ITNITED ARTISTS are expected to spend between seven and eight million dollars on Khartoum." Certainly It is not a blockbuster of the proportions of "Cleopatra" or even "Mutiny on the Bounty." Charlton Heston (General Gordon), Laurence Olivier (the Mahdi), Richard Johnson (Colonel Stewart), and Ralph Richardson (Gladstone) are the big names, and the 'director is Basil Dearden. For political reasons it was not possible to film Khartoum at Khartum, so it is being shot, in Cinerama and Technicolor, at this moment on several splendidly colourful locations outside Cairo.

Apart from two films both called "The Four Feathers "the cinema has neglected the possibilities of the fall of Khartum. Even in the twenties when movie men were gutting history books in search of heroes, Gordon, soldier, Christian, and martyr, was forgotten. It is odd, because no single event and no man so caught the imagination of the Victorian public and no hero was more written about. Eighty years have passed since Gordon was speared to death by the Mahdi's dervishes and the relief column sent by a reluctant Gladstone arrived two days too late. Strachey's reputation is not as eminent as it was and Gordon, who liked to hog the limelight, would probably be highly delighted to know he was the subject of a blockbuster and played by an actor who had recently impersonated Moses.

Although I've mentioned the stars, the two principal credits for "Khartoum" go to the men whose brainchild it is Robert Ardrey, who wrote it, and Julian Blaustein, who is its independent producer. Blaustein made his way to the top in Hollywood as a story editor and later went on to produce big pictures for MGM. Ardrey also worked for Metro and wrote scripts for such films as Madame Bovary," The Three Musketeers," The Green Years," and plays as well. Perhaps his best known is "Thunder Rock" played by almost every rep in the country during the war. Ardrey says it was due to Blaustein's encouragement that he wrote "Khartoum." On and off it took about three years and he sold it for $150,000.

"It's the best one I ever did." Both Blaustein and Ardrey wanted an absolutely completed script before shooting began and so the final draft was locked up by the beginning of July. The result is we expect it will be as close to budget as any in years. Remember what happened to Cleopatra The script is a highly polished piece of cated film industry. Still, apart from an overtime ban by British technicians instructed from London because of national wage negotiations there and by virtue of cutting several small scenes, Dearden appears to be bringing the film in on time. Just how difficult this is can be judged by a day last week with Canutt's action unit filming in'tbe Red Hills just outside Cairo.

(Canutt used to be a champion cowboy many years ago and he started as a stunt rider. He made international fame by his direction of the chariot race in Ben A six-acre camp had been set up in the desert to provide wardrobe, make-up, dressing rooms and stabling for the hundreds of horses and camels. Commissary, props department, leather working shop, blacksmith's forge, plasterers and painters all had to be accommodated. That particular day they were shooting parts of 24 scenes the defeat of Colonel Hicks's army in 1883. This required 88 cavalry from the Egyptian police 85 Camel Corps from the Army; 650 infantry, 95 cavalry extras; 750 Sudanese extras dressed as Mahdi tribesmen; 150 baggage camels actors a score of stunt-men and loose horses as well as mounts.

Props included arms for all, dead horses, dead men, dead camels (all happily imitations). Canutt used three Cinerama cameras, and had standing by a helicopter, doctor, an army vet, ambulances, and Phil Hobbs, the location caterer from Archway, London. To shoot half the number of scenes and give instructions which have to be transmitted and translated staggers the imagination. But by the end of the month it should all be done. By the end of the year the whole film should be in the can.

When the last foot has been exposed and the last extra has collected his ample reward, editing will begin. In some ways that operation will be almost as complex as the shooting and thousands of feet will end up on the cutting room floor. If all goes well "Khartoum" should take shape in the spring and be ready for exhibition by about the middle of next year. All the diverse parts, Ardrey's script, Heston and Olivier's acting, Dearden's direction, and Canutt's action sequences will miraculously come together. Right now it's anyone's guess how successfully they will marry up, but I suspect, whatever the critics say, Khartoum will lure many people from their television sets and that's what a blockbuster has to do.

work which leaves the director only to interpret it. Ardrey has kept very close to the events although he makes Gladstone meet Gordon briefly confronts Gordon with the Mahdi and inflates the charter of Colonel Stewart, Gordon's second-in-command, and sends him on a mission to London which did not actually occur. Ardrey says To dramatise the clashes of personality which took place in letters or in telegrams you are obliged to bring them together to make possible an understanding of their attitudes. The test is simply would Gordon, from what we know, do or say such and such SHOOTING STARTED at Pinewood Studios on August 9. In September the unit moved to Cairo much will be made on location.

The" scenes involving Olivier will be shot at Pinewood in December. Blaustein expects to spend about two million dollars in Egypt a price which would buy the cooperation of most Governments. The unit is divided Into two parts the acting unit directed by Dearden, and the action unit, which copes with four colossal battle scenes, directed by the veteran Hollywood action director, Yakima Canutt. Ardrey thinks it is a scriptwriter's film but with the cast it's got it might even be that rare, rare thing an actor's epic. Usually the most-attractive feature of any epic for an actor is the money.

Like the technicians they participate for frankly commercial reasons. Both Heston and Olivier will receive astonomical fees (at a guess 250,000 each) but Heston expresses a positively childlike delight at the prospect of acting with Olivier and a rare generosity when he must know who will steal the scenes from whom. He confesses to having seen Olivier's Henry no fewer than 16 times. Judging from a couple of days with Dearden acting unit, I thmk Heston could surprise people. He played Gordon with a depth of feeling, a certain gravity and a presence which seemed to fill each shot.

He is spending a lot of time on his English pronunciation. One worries slightly about the variety he can bring to the character, but he has done nearly 30 starring roles and may by now be considered indispensable to any successful epic. Blaustein has assembled a production staff that a general might be proud of. There are many minor irritations in Egypt and what works smoothly at Pinewood and has to work smoothly because of the complexity of the operation gets a bit out of gear when it has to rely on the machinery of a far less sophisti- LONDON CINEMAS THEATRES CONCERTS LONDON THEATRES LONDON ART EXHIBITIONS ACAUU1V O.NK.
