ION [ for the Forthcoming Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tewksbury, the film has Cliff Robertson, Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor in the starring roles. It is the story of how three couples get into some comical complications on a Sunday in New York. There is a serious theme behind a very light-hearted comedy in "A Global Affair," which stars Bob Hope and a bevy of international beauties. When a 15-month-old baby is found abandoned in one of the United Nations buildings, the tot is placed in the custody of Bob Hope who lives in an apartment which doesn't allow children. A great deal of the antics revolve around his necessity to smuggle the child in and out of the building. A Hall Bartlett production, the film was directed by Jack Arnold from a screenplay by Charles Lederer, Arthur Marx and Bob Fisher. Many of the scenes were shot at the United Nations in New York. "Of Human Bondage" is the story of a young man's enslavement to an unworthy and unrequited love and is one of Somerset Maugham's most brilliant novels. Brought to the screen by MGM in association with Seven Arts Productions, the motion picture stars Kim Novak as Mildred, the Cockney waitress who is out for what she can get, and Laurence Harvey as Philip, the sensitive medical student whom she entices and rejects. Costarred are Robert Morley and Siobhan McKenna. It was filmed in Ireland. James Woolf is the producer and Ken Hughes the director. The outstanding Broadway musical comedy, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," gains a broad added entertainment dimension in the motion picture adaptation. This is the ability of the camera to range far beyond the limits of the legitimate theatre to realistically recreate the colorful life and fabulous times of Molly Brown, the gold camp girl who became one of America's wealthiest and most controversial women. Debbie Reynolds portrays Molly, while Harve Presnell, who created the role on the stage, is Leadville Johnny Brown. Others in the cast are Ed Begley, Jack Kruschen, Martita Hunt and Hermione Baddeley. It was directed by Charles Walters and produced by Lawrence Weingarten, with a score by Meredith Willson, of "Music Man" fame. The balance of the pictures in the lineup shows a wide range of subject matter, tailored to the tastes of the large majority of audiences. In a dramatic chase sequence which highlights "The Prize," based on Irving Wallace's best-selling novel, Paul Newman is the man on the run. Others in top roles are Edward G. Robinson, Elke Sommer, Diane Baker and Micheline Presle. It was produced by Pandro S. Berman, with Mark Robson directing from Ernest Lehman's screenplay. Rod Taylor tries to explain an inexplicable situation to Cliff Robertson as Robert Culp and Jane Fonda look on in this scene from "Sunday in New York," which is based on the Broadway comedy, produced by Everett Freeman and directed by Peter Tewksbury. With daring defiance, Richard Chamberlain, as a young attorney, risks his future pleading for the life of his client, Nick Adams, who is accused of murder. Claude Rains, Joan Blackman, James Gregory and newcomer Joey Heatherton fill the other key roles in "Twilight of Honor," a Perlberg-Seaton production directed by Boris Sagal.
