At RKO last week, only three pictures were in production. Several others scheduled by Dore Schary had been canceled by the new boss, Howard Hughes. Pink slips were going out to over half of the employees. Just starting this week, however, was a picture that would be right down Hughes's alley—a virile saga of professional football (the Los Angeles Rams) called Interference, starring Victor Mature and Lucille Ball. "Just wait," someone said, "until Junior gets his teeth into that one."
Hollywood waited.
