NEW HAVEN, CONN. - New Haven is the home of a small, obscure liberal arts university known as Yale. Such relative u nknowns as conservative gadabout William F. Buckley, Jr. took their training here. It is a quaint town, laid out like most in New England, with a green in the center of-town, now abandoned at night, surrounded by distinguished old buildings chuck-a-block with garrish new ones. This small town was selected by Warner Dis- tributors to hold the World Premiere of O Lucky Man! The original candidate, Wash- ington DC (where garrish new buildings stand chuck-a-block with garrish old ones) was eliminated because of politics, and because last time he was here, Malcolm McDowell promised to come back. So here he is. And here I am. And here are 150 college radio and newspaper arts types from all over America (30 from New York, two from LA, two from San Francisco, and several from Chicago). The old-timers here say the junket is unpre- cedented. But it certainly accomplishes its purpose. No one here is going to ignore this film. Personal interviews have been arranged with the star (who doesn't like going on .= . M,,, tour for a film) and the director (who thinks a lot of this film).
