- TriviaAccording to an article published in the 28th April 2007 edition of the Canadian 'The Globe and Mail' newspaper, ''...in 'The Making of In Praise of Older Women' feature[ette], [producer] Mr. Lantos [Robert Lantos] tells an off-screen interviewer that the movie, made for between $1-million and $1.5-million, earned $2.2-million in Canada, plus $9-million in the U.S. and 'another $8 or $9 [-million]internationally'.'' This DVD supplementary feature on the DVD for In Praise of Older Women (1978) actually prompted legal action by source novelist Stephen Vizinczey. The article states that ''over the years, he claimed he'd been told his adapted novel had not made any money.'' It also states: ''Mr. Vizinczey, like Mr. Lantos a Hungarian emigré, sold the rights to his 1965 self-published novel for $42,500 to RSL Productions, a company Mr. Lantos founded in Montreal with lawyer Stephen Roth [Stephen J. Roth]. Included in the deal was RSL's agreement to pay the author 'a sum equal to six per cent of gross earnings'.'' Moreover, it states ''in the suit filed last September [2006] in Ontario Superior Court, Mr. Vizinczey, 73, alleged that Mr. Lantos, 57, owed him at least $258,000, and likely more, from various rights sales of the film over the years, including its 2004 DVD release. However, Mr. Vizinczey, who now makes London his primary residence, said he needed 'detailed audited accounts' to determine what 'gross earnings' might be owing, and applied to have Mr. Lantos's current company, Serendipity Point Films, provide them.''
