Business Notes Entertainment

Just as Indiana Jones fades into movie-hero history, along comes a new celluloid icon: Canada Campeau! The country's National Film Board is finishing up a $1.8 million TV movie called simply Campeau, which traces the career of the Ontario-bred real estate king, Robert. Never mind that Campeau's quixotic takeover of the U.S. department-store chains Allied and Federated led to bankruptcy for both, or that even his own holding company ousted him from its chairmanship. The movie's makers acknowledge that theirs is a "generous" view of Campeau as an enterprising hometown hero who made fortunes for others before falling victim to a nefarious "Wall Street milieu."
