"I love palm trees in films and audiences do, too. Palms give a sense of escape to a picture and people respond to that The Cote 'd'Azur is the most beautiful 100 miles in the world, photographically, but you need the right script for it.

Stories about high society bore average a i you can't reach them with a movie about life among the stinking rich in merit," to cast Mother Nature as a character in the film. "I don't, believe in allowing the scenery to dominate the picture, however," he adds. "This is a great danger, to be overly impressed with picturesque' backgrounds that are different from your own country. "But if you have scenes with long stretches of dialogue and you can keep audiences from coughing and shifting in their seats by relocating the action outdoors, making them more visual. We took spray the screen with blood and violence." He refused a film about the inside workings of the Vatican as "not my kind of picture I like to work outdoors." This preference is due to two a sharp analysis of the film business and an adventuresome nature too restless to be confined to sound stages.

"'I discovered, when television hit England, that I had to find a different way to make movies if I was going to stay in the business," Annakin explains. "I had to do things bigger than TV Maneuvering a locomotive pulling 25 railroad cars, an old Army tank and a two-ton tank the same scene requires nimble footwork. Director Ken An-ftakin, staging such action for The Biggest Bundle of Them All," is an expert at outdoor films. He knows how to bring iozens of exciting elements together on a split-second timetable. The tall, bespectacled director managed to put an international cast through its paces while ituntmen kept the fragile-look-tevintage planes in the air for "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines." Later he dumped dozens of tanks, mortars and grenade explosions into the laps of audiences for "The Battle of the Bulge," utilizing Cinerama's three dimensions to add to the tenseness.

Now for the new comedy adventure produced by Josef Shaf-tel and scheduled to be released by MGM, Annakin finds himself working near with explosives, tanks, trains, trucks, helicopters and a Flying Fortress to tell the story of a group of inept amateurs who attempt to steal $5 million in platinum. His crew for "The Biggest Bundle of Them All" is Jfrenc English, Italian and American, and so is his cast Vittorio De Sica, Raquel Welch, Robert Wagner, Edward G. Robinson, Godfrey Cambridge, Davy Kaye, Francesco Mule and Victor Spinetti, 'LEARN AS YOU GO' How did he learn to balance all these elements? Annakin says he has no pat answer. Yoa learn as you go along," he explains. "A style emerges as you proceed from scene to scene, shaping the material in the way it seems to call for, I've done pictures with a small, intimate cast, like 'Swiss Fami-r 1 Robinson' and multi-star movies like 'Battle of the and the actors are never as great a problem as the mechanical props.

But fortunately there are experts on explosives, tanks and helicopters who know their work inside-out, and they smooth out any cri-. tis." With two top money-grossers within a year, Annakin finds himself in great demand but he chooses his films very carefully. turned down a movie about racial tensions in' Africa "because mere are enough problems in that area without using black-white conflicts to SCREEN DIRECTOR KEN ANNAKIN GOES WHERE ACTION IS "freedom of this life is great like a drug" Shaftel's story about a chauffeur, a chef and a musician who join forces with a con man and a deported gangster to stop a train and make off with platinum ingots worth a fortune "gives you real audience participation," says "because the characters are everyday people who get involved in a robbery scheme out of perfectly understandable reasons: to quit work in a kitchen, to end unemployment, to feed a family, to prove something' for their egos."

Frank, Mia Fly to Hollywood HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Singer Frank Sinatra and his bride, Mia Farrow, emerged from a honeymoon hideaway In Palm Springs, Saturday and flew to Hollywood for an apparent round of parties before heading for New York City and London, i The balding, 50-year-old-singer and the 21-year-old star of television's "Peyton Place" series were married last Tuesday in Las Vegas. They had announced plans to fry immediately to New York and London, where Sinatra is filming "The Naked Runner." instead, Sinatra's Learjet stopped at Palm Springs, in the California desert southeast of Los Angeles.

It was believed that the new-lyweds did not stay at Sinatra's home mere on the grounds of the Tamarisk Country Club. They were seen boarding the jet at Palm Springs Airport Saturday afternoon and the singer's personal public relations man, Jim Mahoney, later confirmed that Sinatra had arrived in Los Angeles.

There, by maneuvering people around in the open air, the audience doesn't feel so locked in." In all, Annakin and producer wrote the original story for "The Biggest Bundle of Them All," transferred 65 pages of script eight sequences in all to coastline locations in Italy and the French Riviera. "This added $100,000 to the cost of the movie, perhaps," Annakin admits, "but it has enhanced the film by one million dollars in values on the screen. That's a worthwhile Investment in my book." Annakin is particularly happy included at least one Savoyard classic, with younger performers gradually replacing the wheelhorses who started "Patience" will feature several newcomers to the giant stage in Joaquin Miller Park; Annelle Delfs in the title role, Richard King as Major Murga-troyd, Corinne Christopherson as the Lady Jane and Robert Ka-prielian as the solicitor.

Also in the cast are Woodminster favorites Robert Harks, Bonnie Horfceck, Doris Baltzo, Edgar Iversen and Ann Wright, who was Ruth in last season's si aging of "Pirates of Penzance."

This encouraged the Victory Players, a group formed to entertain servicemen, to continue in operation after World War II.
