Another Roll of the Dice: The National Organization for Women is praising a movie studio’s decision to shelve a comedy concert film starring the controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay. The untitled concert film was listed as an Aug. 31 release from 20th Century Fox. The studio announced this week that it would not open the film next month, saying the release could jeopardize Clay’s career as a dramatic film actor. “We’ve had a tremendous victory,” the Los Angeles chapter of NOW said on its hotline Tuesday. The organization, which has picketed theaters showing Clay’s film “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane,” said, “We don’t think rape and violence against women and incest is funny.”
