The Main Attraction . . . Crowds gathering at old Stillman's gym on 8th avenue in New York City where "Requiem for a Heavyweight" is being filmed, aren't there to ogle Stars Jackie Gleason, Tony Quinn, Julie Harris, or Mickey Rooney. They're staring at Gleason 's new two toned [opal and burgundy] Rolls Royce--complete with bar and refrigerator. Is that what they mean by one for the road?
