Chick says bees may have put the “B” on his career. . Nice hot-weather job for Wesley Ruggles: chopping 400,000 feet of “Arizona” down to two-hour, 10,000-feet release length. ... Just as a reflection of how fast things move nowadays, the scripters of “Jennie” have put off writing the prologue, which is current and topical, until after the body of the picture, which is set a generation or two back, is filmedd.
