- <p> Of all the surprises in Barry Levinson's upcoming film
- Toys, the biggest is that it was ever made. The fable of a toy
- company run by a gung-ho general was co-written by the director
- in 1979--"This was the first movie I was ever going to make,"
- recalls Levinson--but its dark whimsy and quirky style scared
- off a decade of movie executives. The project reunites Levinson
- with the star of his Good Morning, Vietnam: Robin Williams, no
- stranger to quirks and whimsy himself.
