GO OUT TO A MOVIE
by JANET GRAVES
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY
M-G-M; Ultra Panavision 70, Technicolor; Director, Lewis Milestone; Producer, Aaron Rosenberg (Family)
who’s in it? Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Richard Harris, Tarita. what’s it about? True adventure of the voyage to Tahiti that ended in Fletcher Christian’s defiance of Captain Bligh. what’s the verdict? A story that has stayed powerfully alive in every romantic imagination for over 170 years fills the screen with brutal violence and idyllic beauty. Marlon has an interesting slant on the head mutineer, but at first gives him such delicate airs that you’re likely to side with Trevor’s tough old sea dog.
TWO FOR THE SEESAW
U.A. ; Panavision; Director, Robert Wise; Producer, Walter Mirisch (Adult)
who’s in it? Shirley MacLaine, Robert Mitchum, Elisabeth Fraser, Edmon Ryan. what’s it about? Sadly awaiting divorce, a Nebraska lawyer drifts into an affair with an eccentric New York girl. what’s the verdict? As frank and funny and heartbreaking as the original stage hit, this intimate drama uses plenty of well-written words to get close to two people in love. Shirley’s a natural as the warm, foolishly independent heroine; Bob, more surprisingly cast, makes her indecisive lover almost as convincing.
GYPSY
Warners; Technirama, Technicolor; Producer-Director, Mervyn LeRoy (Family)
who’s in it? Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden, Ann Jilliann. what’s it about? A woman who’ll never admit defeat uses her daughters ruinously to express her own show-biz ambitions. what’s the verdict? Hints of a powerful real-life story (of Gypsy Rose Lee, sister June Havoc and their mother) are the strong points of this great big musical. Natalie and Roz, too genteel for their
f roles, still show vitality. The film consumes over two hours in its dedicated copving of “legit” theater technique.

TARAS BULBA
U.A.; Panavision, Eastman Color; Director, J. Lee Thompson; Producer, Harold Hecht (Family)
who’s in it? Tony Curtis, Yul Brynner, Christine Kaufmann, Perry Lopez. what’s it about? War between Polish conquerors and 15th Century Cossacks, whose leader’s son loves a Polish girl. what’s the verdict? Magnificent shots cut with stirring rhythm keep you enchanted whenever Russia’s mighty horsemen thunder across native steppes. In these “roles,” Argentina’s gauchos and their pampas steal the picture. The stars freeze into quaint figures in this bloody romance that’s much milder than history.
DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
Warners; Director, Blake Edwards; Producer, Martin Manulis (Adult )
who’s in it? Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford, Jack Klugman. what’s it about? After sliding into alcoholism together, a young couple differ when it comes to seeking help. what’s the verdict? Based an on award
winning TV play, this earnest film wanders before getting on target with a stark case history and a tribute to the work of Alcoholics Anonymous. As sincerely as Jack and Lee try, the characters they play remain unclear, though the tragedy is very real. ( Continued on page 14)
