Cannon Blast

In Paul Mazursky’s upcoming “Moon Over Parador,” crazed producer Menachem Fein throws a temper tantrum on a movie set. Could it be a spoof of bombastic Menahem Golan, co-owner of Cannon Films?
“It is Menahem,” Mazursky told us. Will Golan get upset by the unflattering portrayal? “Why would he get angry? He would like it.”
Golan, who hasn’t seen the movie, told us he was “flattered but disappointed” over his caricature. “I wish I was offered the role,” Golan said, amused. “Tell Mazursky I would have loved to play it.
“Actually, like Paul, I’m a frustrated actor with a large ego who wishes more people would offer me roles.”
