4A the oxalnlnor Friday July 27 1979 The Baltimore Bullet First film about pool since Hustler By DICK KLEINER Willie Mosconi said that HOLLYWOOD NEA this was the first film about yearson Broadway and then director Robert Ellis Subject matter of movies runs in cycles These days TV movies are frequently about diseases autism Hodgkins disease retarda tion etc while feature films about sports tennis skiing basketball bowling are common And now they are shooting movie about pool Its call ed The Balimore Bullet and watched as they were filming part of the climactic toumament sequence big banner declared it Hustlers Tournament and some of the genuine pool players hanging around said there really was such thing Yep had one of those every year in Johnson City 11 said Steve Mizerak Honest and truly was such thing In this one the finals are between James Coburn and Bruce Boxleitner and the two were out there lining up shots and chalking their cues and doing all those tradi tional things SUPERIOR LOOKS The real pool players all dolled up in tuxedos watched with superior looks on their faces the game since Hustler And that wasnt really about pool he said That was more of love story This one here is more of pool story That other one wasnt too accurate Ive never seen anybodys arm broken Irving Crane slim gentlemanly old pro said that he never did like The Hustler That movie Crane said didnt do the game any good For 40 years weve been trying to defeat the stigma the pool player with the cigarette dangling out of his mouth This one is better but there still are some scenes that are no credit to me or to the game Hustling is decep tion Ive never doneit The Baltimore Bullet is the first feature film from group called FilmFair which has been making TV commercials for 20 years It is the brainchild of John Brascia the coproducer who most people remember as great dancer DANCEI Brascia danced for many JAMES COBURN says he has played snooker all his life and some pool but he is hardly in the professional class in films he did the famous Frankie and Johnny number with Cyd Charisse in Meet Me in Las Vegas and then he teamed up with glamorous Tybee Afra The dance team of Brascia and Tybee performed all over the world They were married for while too And Bybee hap pened to be on the set when was there because theyre still friends Tybee said how Johnny broke up the act and there went $6000 week to prepare for this film He said she was right and that he has spent four years in that preparation The easiest part actually in film of this sort is what moviegoers think is the hardest making the dif ficult shots by the unskilled actors its simply question of having the pros line them up show the actors how to hit the cue ball and then doing it over and over until it comes outright PROS DIFFER But even the pros seem to differ on some of the shots Boxleitner was at the table and they had lined up shot for him Out of earshot of the Miller and the other brass the pros were grumbling Hes asking him one said to do shot that maybe we couldnt do Hes not following through where hes aiming said another after Box leitner blew it few times Boxleitner admits he is rookie at this sport Hes never had cue in his hand before this but he says hes hooked If cant get table out of this picture somehow he said between takes Ill be very disappointed Im plan ning on adding room on my house and itd fit in very nicely James Coburn says he has played snooker all his life and some pool but he is hardly in the professional class He says he needs lot ofcoaching mar Sharif is also ap pearing in The Baltimore Bullet he is world famous as bridge player and ask ed him if this current trend of sports films might be extend ed to include movie about bridge No dont think so he said Bridge is too serious to makea film about Slvw7W714wv MORNING KIDS ARE PEOPLE TOO UNITED STATES MINI WILD KINGDOM Sorptco ma Sum AI Pncmo Comou 120 DAY OF DISCOVERY oLVMpIcs cat
