EXIT LINES

Film maker David Puttman, who’s been lying low since forced out as Columbia Pictures chairman last fall, is speaking his mind again. In a interview handed out by Eastman Kodak to publicize its Feb. 9 testimonial luncheon honoring him for efforts in fostering young movie talent, the British producer was chocked full of fighting words. Pondering Hollywood’s “virulent greed,” Puttnam told the Kodak interviewer: “What’s really rather shocking to me is over and over again the same phrase is used, which I’ve found very offensive, which is ‘You have to understand David--this is the American way.” If “directors, actors and their agents” are really getting stronger, he continued, “why are most pictures so bad?”
