Robert B. “Bob” Steuer, a longtime film sales executive with Aip, Film Ventures, 20th Century Fox and Premiere Entertainment Services, died Feb. 5 in Tarzana, Calif. after a long battle with dementia. He was 86.
Born in New Orleans, Steuer graduated Tulane University and joined the U.S. Army where he held the rank of second lieutenant.
After leaving the Army, he began producing low budget feature films and eventually partnered to buy a radio station in Biloxi, Miss. He then bought a drive-in theater which played many films from independent distributor American International Pictures, whose founders Sam Arkoff and James Nicholson lured him to Hollywood.
He became a key executive in Aip’s distribution operation until it was sold to Filmways in 1979. After leaving Aip, Steuer consulted for Ely and Edie Landau’s production company, where he supervised the release of “The Chosen” with Maximilian Schell and Rod Steiger.

“A Nazi Or Not-zi?”
By Raymond Benson
Back in 1973, producer Ely Landau and his wife Edie launched a daring and unprecedented cinema series that played in the U.S. for two “seasons,” with a total of fourteen titles (but only thirteen were shown), all renowned works—classic and modern—originally produced on the stage. It was called the American Film Theatre. (A review of a DVD box set of the entire series appeared on Cinema Retro Here.)
The concept tried something different. The directive was to take a great stage play, not change a word, and in most cases, use the actual play script as the screenplay. The next step was to hire an accomplished film director to interpret the text for the film medium but stay faithful to the play. Sometimes the director was the same person who helmed the original stage production. A further step was to persuade...

"Titanic" is about to take its last voyage. Apparently.
One never can be entirely sure, since James Cameron is one of today's most innovative filmmakers ... but at least for now, his 1997 Oscar winner about the title ship's famously doomed maiden trip is getting its final debut. Monday (Sept. 10), Paramount Home Entertainment releases Cameron's 3D reconfiguration on Blu-ray (the movie's debut in that format), along with remastered 2D versions on both Blu-ray and DVD.
"Our goal at first was just to get a green light on the movie," Jon Landau -- who produced "Titanic" with Cameron -- tells Zap2it. "Our second goal was to survive the production period. And the third goal was for it to do well enough that maybe Jim and I could work together again one day."
There's no question "Titanic" did that, also cementing the stardom of its Jack and Rose, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
