FLASHES

The Pope Smokes Dope

Jesus Christ Superstar is gonna be a movie! The film version will be directed and produced by Norman Jewison of Fiddler on the Roof, (and he’s a Methodist!) In the Heat of the Night and Russians are Coming fame. Filming begins August 10th in Israel, “where Jesus walked." Jewison says about his next “definitive dramatic work.”

Academy Award winning Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland star in another film together. This one is about the revplutionary Melvilles — former Gautamalan missionaries who left the religious life, got married and got arrested with the Catonville Nine.

Also playing a nun is . .. Raquel Welch, who teams up with Richard Burton in Bluebeard, now shooting in Budapest. She’s murdered by Bluebeard Burton whose fantasy sequence includes a six second flash of Sister Raquel’s plunging neckline. The scene may be dropped from the picture.
