HOLLYWOOD GO HOME
Three cheers to Palm Beach, Fla., councilwoman Nancy Douthit and the Palm Beach city council for refusing to allow Jerry Weintraub and his film crew on the streets of their city (Film Clips, by Jack Mathews, July 12).
For much too long, film companies have taken the position that it is a God-given right for them to shoot anywhere and anytime they choose.
They take the attitude that because they are “the movies,” the average citizen is happy to put up with just about any inconvenience to get a glimpse of Hollywood glamour. Nothing could be further from the truth.
