Want proof? Despite the $750,000 he received for only eight days' work on "A Bridge Too Far," Caan is strapped for cash. His recent divorce, his second, has crippled his bank account, he admitted. Yet, Caan reported he turned down a $4 million offer to play the title role in "Superman," the comic adventure film due next Easter starring Marlon Brando. "The offer was for two films," Caan said. "They're making two at the same time, just like the same producers did with 'The Three and Four Marlon called me and told me I should do it.

'I mean the money, he said. But couldn't do it. "I couldn't wear the (Superman) suit. No way. I mean I've done things for money in my career, but not that.

I just couldn't wear that suit." It makes sense. That role could have branded Caan a buffoon for the rest of his artistic life. Instead, Caan has worked this year with Jane Fonda on "Comes a Horseman Wild and Free," a love story set in 1945 Montana, due out next year. Future projects he said he is considering include a script about a cab driver who thinks he's a comic and gets a freak shot at the big time on the Johnny Carson show, and a thriller about a working class guy who becomes a government witness only to end up fighting both the mob and the government. Also on tap for Caan, he hopes, is something that he has been chasing for years the kind of marriage you read about in story books or see in the movies.

Caan has two children from his two marriages: a girl, 13, and a boy, 14 months. "I'm afraid I'm a romanticist," he said, "even though in the back of my head I suspect it may not be there for me, ever. But I'm still searching. I mean I want to be in love all the time. I remember when I was a kid (in New York) I couldn't wait to get to my girlfriend's house.

I had to steal my father's car and drive an hour to get there. My heart was pounding. 60 E. Balbo 431-OGSO BLACKSTONE llliislous Iroin (lie muslciil coinedr, I lie Man. A tufcscrfplfon attraction 0 th Snubarl Organization Subscription Series Directed by Harry l.cc Rogers III Jun.

"I had a group of people agents and so forth whom I was paying a certain percentage of my salary, who said I had to do this and I had to do that. And I thought to myself, 'Well, they must know what they're talking about.

They've been in the business 30 Well, after I made (with Elliott Gould) 'Harry and Walter Go to the Toilet' (sic), I decided to make some changes in my life." Caan then discussed and rated his recent films: "There are only four pictures I care about," he said. "On a scale of l-to-10, if 'The Godfather' is a 10, I'd give 'Slither' a 'Freebie and the a 'Cinderella which I liked a lot, an 8.
