DUKOFF'S DEAL WITH DANNY

E

By Mark Swan

London,

DDIE DUKOFF was back in town. The man who has just emerged free and sano after 16 years as Danny Kaye's agent, manager and day-nurse was in London to look for now enterprises.

So we hopped, Into a taxi and made for the best-looking hotel wo knew. There, perambulating in the lounge, we saw a number of fing upstanding American gentlemen all of whom looked as if they would answer to the name of Eddio Dukoff. All of them did, in fact, answer to the name of Dukoff-to say that they were not Eddie Dukoff, but that Dukoff was around.

Finally, a boy dressed like a grasshopper came to tell us that Mr Dukoff would be with us in seven minutes.

Seven minutes Inter came Dukoff, looking like a cross between some- thing out of “Guys and Dolls (only more expensive) and George Raft after seven years in a Turkish bath. His cyes twinkled, and he talked in the elegantly lazy idiom of Damon Runyon.

He greeted us effusively and shook'us warmly by the hand.

OFF-STAGEI

We fell back into a chair and asked him what he was doing in Lon- don.

"Well, I tell you,” he said. "I'm here to meet the man I'm having lunch with. His name is Gerald Mayer.” Mr Mayer was somehow con- jured up for a fleeting appearance. He smiled briefly and was wafted off-stage again.

"This man," Dukoff explained, "is the man I am telling you about, the man I am having lunch with. He has produced and directed three colour adventure films for American television. All the shooting's been done in Africa, but we're doing all the printing and assembling here in London. These pictures have been made for the Schlesingers of South Africa and for me. The Schlesingers and I are partners, I am 50 per cent of the company and an Executive Producer and President of the Company. Which will also be my function on the Mistinguett deal. Hi,”
