Hutton portrays
new Ellery Queen
By NANCY ANDERSON -1j
HOLLYWOOD - Juan Hut-
, Hollywood's most recent
portrayer of Ellery Queen,
doesn't interpret the famous
sleuth in quite the way of his
predecessors.
His Ellery Queen, to be in-
troduced March 23 over NBC-
TV, is less suave, less debo-
nair than other Ellery4Queens
have been who, according to
Hutton, were too sophisti-
cated for their own good.
"I've done my Ellery
Queen homework," Hutton
said during a recent lunch in
the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo
. Lounge. "Lee Bowman
played him. And Lee Phillips.
And, as a matter of fact, as
far back as 1935, Donald
Chase played Ellery Queen
on radio.
"And in pictures Ralph
Bellamy played him three
times. George Nadir played
him. William Gargan. But
Queen has never been suc-
cessful in the media - radio,
television or films - when
played with sophistication.
"He was written as sort of a
foppish person, a dandy, and,
commercially, except in
books, he hasn't done well.
"But producers keep trying
to do something with Ellery
Queen, because he's the third
largest selling detective in
literature. So that's been rea-
son enough to use him in a ra-
dio show or movie or what-
ever.
"I think we are finally
bringing the right Ellery
Queen to the screen because,
without being false to the
original writers, we've
changed his personality a lit-
tle.
"He's absent minded, a lit-
tle left-footed, not quite with
it. Though I'm not playing, El-
lery the way Peter Falk plays
'Columbo.'�
"But there's a very defi-
nitely dichotomy in the char-
acter. I've tried to give him
new dimension."
After being expelled from
two colleges, from one for
bulldozing up a bed of tulips
carrying out the school colors
and from the other for drop-
ping his pants at a formal re-
ception to win a 810 bet, Hut-
ton made his first reputation
in Hollywood playing Joe Col-
lege types.
, His initial major role was
opposite Paula Prentiss in
"Where the Boys Are," a part
he got by going into the char-
acter in the MGM commis-
sary. -
"When I came to Holly-
wood right after getting out of
the Army," Hutton said, "I
didn't know a damned thing
about the business. But I did
learn quickly that 'there are
no _ ten commandments, no
certain approach that will get
you a break in this town.
"Being on the corner at the
right time, figuratively
speaking, will help, but you
have to be the prime> mover
yourself.
"So what I did was put to-
gether a scene from 'Look
Back in Anger.' My bride and
I had an apartment in Studio
City, and there was a girl
down the way who was an out -
of -work actress, and we did
this scene together.
"We couldn't afford a car,
so we'd schlepp on the bus
with our ironing board and all
our props and go to the vari-
ous studios."
At this point, Jim had no
professional -credits, but he
managed to play his scene for
the right people until he final-
ly won a contract at MGM.
"I had teeth like barbed
wire and no clothes, and I
JIM H1TTON
...gives character
'new dimension'
certainly '' dn't look Holly-
wood leading -man pretty or
New York character actor
ugly," Hutton reminisced.
"And MGM was a,, . ut op
me, II believe, when II got wind
that Joe Pasternak was going
do a picture called `Where
the Boys Are.'
"So II read the book and
along with a friend set up a
si ' ation whereby Joe Pas-
ternak had to notice me.
"I played a little part in the
cow fight in his line
of vision, so there was no way
he could fail to see me. I'd
read the book, I knew the
character Pasternak was
about to cast, a campus cut-
up, and I certainly had that
pedigree.
"That being the case, with
my friend playing the
straight man, I just raised
hell in the commissary, and
the nett thing I knew here
came Joe in his Italian
wedgies, and, after asking
me if I was a grip, he invited
me to his office to talk about a
part. I got it."
