TV; RADIO MIRROR *H TV favorites on your theater screen By JANET GRAVES The Careless Years UNITED ARTISTS Responsible for building many new stars in recent years, TV scores a double play with a touching drama of youthful love. Once a child actor in movies, Dean Stockwell hit the comeback trail in TV plays and filmed series. Natalie Trundy made her TV debut at ten, later did top child roles in important shows. Now seventeenyear-old Natalie and twenty-one-year-old Dean co-star in the story of teenagers whose need for each other drives them to plan elopement. The decision they reach provides thought for all families. No Down Payment 20th, cinemascope Usually identified with comedy, Tony Randall does a fine job of serious character portrayal in this close-up of a suburban housing development. And Joanne Woodward, also TV-trained, creates an equally arresting personality. The story is actually an intimate portrait of four young couples, close neighbors whose lives intertwine. Each pair faces individual problems : Tony and Sheree North (also taking time out from comedy) ; Joanne and Cameron Mitchell; Jeff Hunter and Patricia Owens; Barbara Rush and Pat Hingle. The varied situations finally explode in violence. The Pajama Game WARNERS, WARNERCOLOR Here's the happiest musical that Doris Day has turned out in a long time. It's packed with lively tunes — the popular "Hey There" and "Hernando's Hideaway" being only two in the rhythmic crowd. For Doris and handsome John Raitt, the labor-management quarrel gets translated into terribly personal terms. As employee and new boss in a pajama factory, Doris and John make the pleasant mistake of falling in love. There's a rowdy second romance between Carol Haney and Eddie Foy, Jr. — expert comics both. The Young Don't Cry COLUMBIA Familiar faces on your TV screen, young Sal Mineo and sturdy James Whitmore make an interestingly contrasted pair in an odd but convincing story of the South. Sal is a self-reliant orphan; James, a rebellious convict working in a road gang near the orphanage. Bullies in the group make the boy's life uneasy; the prisoner is plotting escape. On hand, too, is TV grad Roxanne, looking decorative as wife of Gene Lyons, the orphans' benefactor. That Night UNIVERSAL-INTERNATIONAL Stars, producer, plot — all the elements of this quiet yet strong family drama stem from TV. First seen on the home screens, the story centers on John Beal, as a TVcommercial writer. The pressure he works under partly accounts for the heart attack that forces him to face the possibility of death — then a changed life. Augusta Dabney plays his wife; Shepperd Strudwick, his honest, sympathetic doctor. Throughout, the acting and the picture's general handling create a firm sense of reality, increased by the fact that the whole movie was shot in New York, where its events take place. At Your Neighborhood Theaters Loving You (Wallis, Paramount; VistaVision, Technicolor) : Drama-with-music shows off Elvis Presley at his best, as a lonely young drifter boomed into fame in the singing business. Liz Scott, Wendell Corey, Dolores Hart share his fate. Sweet Smell of Success (TJ.A.) : Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster zestfully play a pair of heels in this bitter, biting New York story. Columnist Burt assigns pubHeist Tony to break up the new romance of Susan Harrison, Burt's sister. Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (20th; CinemaScope, DeLuxe Color) : Hollywood attacks TV in a roaring farce — all in fun, but not for kiddies. Tony Randall displays his comedy skill as a timid ad man snared by film queen Jayne Mansfield. Emotion bewilders Dean Stockwer and young sweetheart Natalie Trundy. Party quips tossed by Tony Randal amuse Sheree North, Barbara Rush. After fight, Day a business Tignt, uons and John Raitt enjoy reconciliation. 13
