He is another product of Xew York who started his career as a professional amateur in a contest at a movie of the few honest teams in show business; they admit they are not related to each other.

From Tension in 'Sudden Fear' Just What Director Ordered By JANE TORBY MEET a man who loves his work. He didn't SAT he loves it. But it's written all over Pavid Miller, the youthful director of "Sudden Fear." at Loew's State Theater.

No and "Noes" and "Ve-lls" from Mr. Miller when you ask him a question about his latest picture; he answers In paragraphs, bright entertaining paragraphs, bristling with honest information, and full of oounce. He imparts some of his own unrestrained vitality to ererything he says: laughs when he feels like it, which Is often: swears he never was an actor, though he seems to know much more about the job than the average acton says he Is not a writer, though he writes, and even after preparation and actual filming of "Sudden Fear" gets an obvious kick out of talking about it. David Miller was born in Paterson, X. and was brought up in Xew York.

He went out to Hollywood about 20 years ago as a film cutter. He graduated from that to directing, which. I beljpve, is a considerable jump. The director, as you nwy know, is the big wheel when it conies to making a picture. He's the man who takes a whole welter of details the story, the cast, the technicalities and beats a motion picture out of the amorphous mass.

Directors have methods of working. Some merely assemble. Others, like David Miller, jump in there and start pitching from the minute they get wind that there's going to be a picture, while the writers are still in hot pursuit of ideas and the cast is in the stage of wishful thinking.

After rehearsing daily for two months for the rigors of his current screen role, he now is known by studio contempor aries as "Slugger Webb the all-around tough guy." The onetime baby-sitter whom a world took to heart in "Mr. Belvedere," undergoes a drastic change of pace, dra-, matically speaking, in "Dream-boat," at the Roxy. The actor portrays a two-fisted silent film star who kills nine men in sword duels; engages in three barrom brawls: becomes the outstanding Allied air ace of World War fights in the French Foreign Legion; and makes love to six luscious ladies, including Ginger Rogers.

We were It was fun to sit and listen in while Miller neglected a 'ery inviting seafood lunch at "The Lobster," popular theatrical district eating place, and retraced the steps that brought this new Joan Crawford to the screen. "The entire film was a challenge from the very beginning, half of it was entirely rewritten whife shooting." he said.

"It's a suspense picture, and great ones are rare. Many fine ones have already been marie Hitchcock has had two or three magnificent suspense films so we had to go a few steps beyond what has already been done, give our picture some extra things that other pictures haven't had." "Sudden Fear" opened last week at Loew's State Theater, and fox the benefit of those' who haven't seen it yet, it deals with: Joan Crawford, a wealthy (by inheritance! playwright, who meets and marries Jack Palance, an out-of-work actor. What she thinks is blissful romance is destroyed when she accidentally learns that her husband really loves another woman, Gloria 'Grahame, and that the two plan to murder her so that the husband can claim her wealth. The wife thereupon plans to kill the husband first, and sets methodically about perfecting a counterplot. "This development of a counterplot to kill, by a wife, has never been done with a man and wife setup on the screen," explained Miller.

"It created a lot of problems. We had to build up Joan's character emotionally, so that the audience would feel, with her, that she had a right to kill her husband. Y'et we couldn't have the audience condoning murder. "So, in order not to rob the audience of emotion, and to give it a satisfactory ending too, we first let the wife figure out her counterplot to thp last detail, even to writing down her 'time We have her stop and think bout it: Her thought processes are all enacted on the screen- "The audience is against her now a woman about to commit a murder. It was our problem to change this murderer into a victim, so that the audience would sympathize with her.

This is only the beginning of the end, too. The picture is full of sharp turns and surprises, with a rush of excitement in the lat few minutes that adds shock to the tension which has been steadily building. Through it all Miss Crawford, in many closeups, and a role that is 37 percent silent, underplays her part. "If an actor plays a role to the hilt he loses his objective," David Miller thinks. "The actor should build up audience emotion and let the customers play the scene in their own imaginations.

Keeping things like all these in mind would seem to make a director's lot a busy one. "It is. said Miller, "but there's great satisfaction in it when a picture turns out well." It was a nice trick, and in "Sudden Fear" they managed it.
