Theres talk of Thert is unrest in film unions and guilds over telefilm wage scales and residual payments on all films leased to TV. With TV busy on its own house cleaning projects, the Motion Picture Association of America is in high gear pushing a spe- federal film control on exports with some congressmen and State Department officials believing they are giving foreign audiences the wrong impreskion- of life in the United States.

The big Hollywood back- log of post 1948 movies may promotion campaign. Meanwhile, Hollywood is facing a small group of top boxoffice stars demanding, and getting, out of line salaries and profit be released to television and the Theater Owners of America are demanding more 'product from Hollywood to help keep theaters open. THI CUTHtMU Hollywood Columnist There are no doubts about it in Hollywood. The new decade holds the promise of becoming the Sexy Sixties for theater motion picture screens. The Sexy Sixties may bring an answer to the question, How far can Hollywood go with movies that are hotter than ever? The answer may be classification of some movies with the label, For Adults Only.

In an attempt to win back their lost audience adults Hollywood movie makers have been turning to more adult 'themes. They have ranged to date from premarital relations in Happy Anniversary, to homosexuality and cannibalism in "Suddenly, Last a nightmarish movie which indicates Hollywood may be moving too fast. Only Answer How far can Hollywood go? Those favoring Adult Only movies argue that it the only logical answer that classification is not censorship. Theater owners others opposed to classification insist it IS censor- is and cent and fical er is holding the line on its own self-policed censorship code which once guaranteed wholesome family entertainment Sex, at the adult level, has found a place on the screen in Hollywoods competition with television, foreign imports and other forms of recreation for adult customers. As Director Alfred Hitchcock says: Sex has a definite place, but only if it motivates or progresses the stray.

Give an audience too much sex or in bad taste and come embarrassed at the wrong place. The trick is to time the then give them something' YOU want them to laugh at Up to Education But how many producers of movies have good taste, and know the trick? The future of the movies?) I again quote Hitchcock, who! believes there will be no rad-! ical change until there is a change in audiences. he says, can come only from the classroom; its a job for; educators, not moviemakers. When audiences have advanced further, Hollywood will be ready to present them with advanced entertainment But Hollywood Is facing more than just How far can we go? problems in the JUDY HOLLIDAY and her fiance, Garry Mulligaii, jazz musician, will say thair do's any day now. Sat Dick Williams column at tha KB VwMrfmois Inna's CHINESE DAILY FROM THIS WEEK'S Hollywood Worries 1 Over SfrJce Threat Although no one is saying much about it publicly around the studios, the inside talk of Hollywood is the imminent threit l' of a crippling and devastating film strike by theTwriters and actors.

The Writers Guild has already authorized a 1 and is awaiting action of tne Screen Actors Guild, whose contract cranes up for renewal on Jan. 24. Key issue is TV residuals to the members of the guilds for post-48 movie sales to television. The guilds demand a cut in any future sales (they got nothing from the pre-48 movie backlogs which went to TV). The studios are aligned flatly against a cut to anyone.

All the studios have made careful surveys of foreign production facilities, especially in London and Rome, whence they might operate in case of any prolonged strike here. However, both stars and agents have told me that any. strike will prohibit our personnel from working in any future European productions as well as here. Would Be Felt Immediately With film production already sharply cut from past years and many theaters already, hard put to secure enough pictures to show, any strike would be felt almost immediately. Backlogs are not that high.

Theater Owners of America estimates that only 177 pictures will have been put into production by Hollywood companies in 1959 as compared with 192 in 1958. Meanwhile, to help themselves out of the dilemma several majors have made U.S. distribution deals with British film makers are seeking foreign films to help fill the gap. Twentieth Century-Fox paid a reputed $2,000,000 for seven J. Arthur Rank films which it will distribute in the U.S.

in 1960. They include Northwest Frontier," 39 Steps, The Captains Table, Operation Amsterdam, Ferryboat To Hong Kong, The Wind Cannot Read and Upstairs and Downstairs. Paramount lined -up three: He Took A Million, Blind Date" and A Touch of Larceny." New York film circles, where the money raised, is even more acutely interested in the strike question. Belief of some industry insiders there is that any prolonged strike might well spell the doom of one and possibly two of the major remaining studios. It is a grim prospect, for neither side shows any inclination to give an inch.

Judy Holliday May Wed Soon had lunch with Judy Holliday and steady boy-friend Jazzman Gerry Mulligan in her MGM dressing-room the other day. They may be getting married any day now and they act towards each other in their easy camaraderie as if theyd already been married a few years. Theyre Scrabble fiends, and Judy claims a high score of 856. which 1 told her was virtually unobtainable. But she uses such big words," Mulligan insisted.

Judy has been working for the last several months on the film version of her stage musical hit, The Bells Are Ringing. Its taking longer to finish than originally anticipated.

In the play, the first serious work she has ever attempted on stage or screen (and I think she is a marvelous natural for the role), she will go from age 15 to .60. Mulligan has a hit part in the Bells Are Ringing as a blind date with whom Judy goes out.

He had just come from a wacky scene on set where they bumped noggins and her bustle skirt was accidentally set afire. He confessed he was a bit wrung out. Judy is proud that her LP album "Trouble Is a Man, won her a nomination in Playboys annual jazz poll as vocalist of the year. A mutual interest in jazz is one of the things that brought Judy and Gerry together. They're now writing songs he does the music, she the lyrics, and hope to make something out of it Como to Appear on Bing's Show Bing Crosby and Perry Como will perform together on TV for the first time when Como makes a guest appearance in Crosby's Special" on ABC-TV Feb.
