ROCK 'N' REEL: Just back from Cannes, Stephen Baldwin told New York celebrity scoopster Baird Jones at the Paramount Hotel's 10th anniversary bash that he and partner Danny Aiello think "we may have hit gold" with the first pick for their new Manhattan Pictures International distribution company. Baldwin and Aiello picked up the U.S. rights for producer Mick Jagger's much-anticipated "Enigma," directed by Michael Apted ("The World Is Not Enough").

Co-produced by "Saturday Night Live" guru Lorne Michaels, "Enigma" follows the struggle of an Allied operative (Dougray Scott) trying to break Nazi U-boat codes--while worrying that his girlfriend (Kate Winslet) is a spy.
