It was set for release on September 27; however, the backlash was so intense that Universal Pictures decided to “cancel our plans to release the film.” With the announcement, conservatives scored a rare...

To the dismay of director Sydney Pollack and his New York crew, the production was in real danger of moving to Canada for about half of its 16-week shoot because of the world body's long-standing policy of not allowing...
