But hes not catching his breath.

In between vigorous games of tennis, Joe's still talking it up about The Shrike." The picture opens tomorrow and Ferrer is anxious to explain a "certain point of view concerning the film. Also, he happens to owii 60 of the production, so hes not adverse to beating a few drums about it IN THE OLD days, when most actors worked for straight salaries, they were through witlf a picture once they wrapped up the last scene. They couldn't bothered running around promoting it But now that so many' of the stars own a piece of their pictures, they're traveling around plugging like mad.

But she couldnt The Shrike is a picture full of gray values." Anyway, the real test is what the Viewers remember about a performance weeks later, if they remember it at JOSE HAD no trouble remembering; his- Interviews across the country. Invariably his questioners came up with the same queries in the same order. His part of the conversation runs like this: "Yes, it was a little painful working oh my knees in Moulin Rouge, Yes, The Shrike is a change of pace for Miss Allysan." No, I don't have a favorite easy role.

It's all hard work. You go on fighting for your life, every time." No, I dont find it difficult being married to a pop singer." Yes, Im happy about our baby. Hes 7 months old." Bat Ferrer want prepared fer same ef my questions. I wanted to knew bow much It cost him a week to feed their r' dog Coddles, the biggest DanoT ever. saw.

It was a Pulitzer Prize winner and brought me all sorts of awards. Its one of the moments in my professional life of which Im honestly an jml story. And, despite some of the smart critics who know it all, the picture version turned out to be about 98 of what I wanted it to be. "You know. Ive seen Cyrano de Bergerac once and Moulin Rouge', once and Ill probably never look at either picture again.

All they represent to me is a lot of hard work and some things that I didnt really go along with. But. what with the cutting and all, Ive already seentThe Shrike' hundreds of times and Im still moved by it" "SOME SAY the picture Is pretty strong fare to hand the public. I dont think so.
