Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
          -------------------

          Security:    Common Stock, $1.00 Par Value ("Common Stock")

          Issuer:      Metromedia International Group, Inc., formerly 
                       The Actava Group, Inc., ("Metromedia"),
                       a Delaware corporation

          Address:     945 East Paces Ferry Road
                       Suite 2210
                       Atlanta, GA  30326

Item 2.   Identity and Background.
          -----------------------

     This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D is being filed by Triton Group Ltd. 
("Triton"), a Delaware corporation (as successor to Intermark, Inc.). The 
principal business and offices of Triton are located at 550 West C Street, 18th 
Floor, San Diego, CA  92101.

     There is no change to the remaining information contained in Item 2 of 
Schedule 13D, as amended to date.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
          -------------------------------------------------

     There is no change to the information contained in Item 3 of Schedule 13D, 
as amended to date.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
          ----------------------

     The information set forth in Item 4 of Triton's Schedule 13D, as amended, 
is hereby amended as follows:

     Promptly following Triton's sale of 3,000,000 shares of Actava Common Stock
(which was described in Amendment No. 13 to Triton's Schedule 13D), pursuant to 
the Amended and Restated Stockholder Agreement between Triton and Actava, Actava
requested and received the resignation of Triton's two designees on the Actava 
Board of Directors. As noted in Amendment No. 13 to Triton's Schedule 13D, the 
Amended and Restated Stockholder Agreement terminated upon the reduction of 
Triton's ownership of Actava Common Stock to less than 10% of the outstanding 
Common Stock.

     On November 1, 1995, The Actava Group Inc. announced the completion of the 
mergers of Actava with Orion Pictures Corporation ("Orion"), MCEG Sterling 
Incorporated ("Sterling") and Metromedia International Telecommunications Inc. 
("MITI"), and the renaming of Actava as Metromedia International Group, Inc. 
Based upon the exchange ratios for the merger set forth in Metromedia's press 
release, the number of outstanding shares of each of Orion, Sterling and MITI
last reported through Actava's toll-free information line, and the number of
outstanding shares of Actava Common Stock reported in Actava's proxy statement
related to the mergers, Triton believes that the number of outstanding shares of
Metromedia Common Stock following the mergers is 38,910,073, and that Triton's
1,354,214 shares of Metromedia Common Stock constitute 3.48% of the outstanding
Common Stock.

     On November 1, 1995, the Board of Directors of Triton declared a special 
distribution to its stockholders of $1.57 in cash and .066 of a share of Common
Stock of Metromedia, for each outstanding share of Triton common stock. The
special distribution will be payable on December 8, 1995 to stockholders of
record on November 17, 1995. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares
of Metromedia Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed in the special
distribution. Following the special distribution, Triton may continue to hold a
small number of shares of Metromedia Common Stock.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
          -------------------------------------

     The information set forth in Item 5 of Triton's Schedule 13D, as amended, 
is hereby amended as follows:

     (a)  1,354,214 shares of Common Stock (3.48%), based on Triton's belief 
that there are presently 38,910,073 Metromedia shares outstanding.

     (b)  Triton has sole power to vote or direct the vote, and sole power
to dispose of or direct the disposition of, the above shares; provided, however,
that Triton delivered to Actava proxies with respect to the mergers of Actava 
with Orion, Sterling and MITI, as described in Item 4 of Amendment No. 13 to 
Triton's Schedule 13D; provided, further, that Triton has declared the special 
distribution to its stockholders described in Item 4 above, payable on December 
8, 1995.

     (c)  Since its most recent filing on Schedule 13D, Triton made the 
following sale of 59,384 shares of Common Stock in a block transaction through 
a registered broker-dealer:

declared a special distribution to its stockholders of substantially all of its 
Metromedia Common Stock, payable on December 8, 1995 to stockholders of record 
on November 17, 1995.
