I The Case Of The TT i Friendly Censor Succeeds As Movie Director By DAN LEWIS TV Time Staff Writer NEW YORK Not too many years ago, Gene Saks, supported by moderate success a Broadway actor, went to Hollywood for a continuation of his career. It was a chilling experience: nothing happened. Now Hollywood is trying to romance Saks, and what bothers him most is an inordinate fear that he might succumb to the film capital's seductive overtures. There is, however, a major difference between then and now.

He left as a disillusioned actor. Now Hollywood's trying to lure him back as a sucessful director, and for a very good reason. His initial effort at directing a movie was "Barefoot in the Park," a hilarious adaption of the Broadway hit which Saks guided into a record-breaking 12-week run at Radio City Music Hall last summer. It is therefore no surprise that movie studios have been dangling big fat offers at Saks. But he frankly admits he is not one for the Hollywood way of life.

"I have a great fear of he said recently in New York. "The easy life, the lush life out there is no good for creativity. A person needs something different, stimulating, pushing. An artist needs the difficulties of life that the theater presents here on Broadway." "There is tremendous seduction about Hollywood," he continued. "I love everything about It.

You never walk a block. You move the body from the front room to the car. You're like a king; it's like living in Tahiti. It's good, if the island is self-sufficient to yourself." When he returned East from Saks began thinking in terms of becoming a director and jumped into prominence with the highly successful Broadway hit, "Mame," one of Broadway's longest-running shows at the moment. That led him back to pictures.

Ironically to direct "Barefoot in the Park." From that he moved quickly into another Broadway transplant, "The Odd Couple," which cos tars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. That picture, recently completed, is scheduled for release next summer, also in Radio City Music Hall. That's not a bad record for a newcomer: His first two pictures open at the world's foremost movie house. Now Saks finds he's enamored of the silver screen, and he's torn by it. "I might foresake the stage," he said with a hint of sadness.

But Saks says he still feels the need for New York's stimulation, so he's now involved in a musical adaption of "Madwoman of Chaillot," which will be called "Tomorrow Morning." He said, however, that a director carries more weight in the movies, than in theater. "Once the performance starts, the director is powerless," he explained. See SUCCEEDS, Page 6 Answer Man: He Plays In Movies These Days I think Pat McGoogan, wfe played la "Danger Man" a few summers age, was the best actor on TV and I would like to know what be is doing now.
