Bertelsmann -- er, Random House is getting into the movie biz. (Actually this was announced long before but is now proceeding in earnest.) We wonder what Bennett Cerf would think. Though Cerf was no publicity wallflower we suspect he was wise enough to know his books' photogenic nature probably didn't extend much beyond his appearances on What's My Line? In the end this is just the creation of written-down assets for its vaults and a mere exercise in vanity -- film publishing.
