ANALYSIS DF THE PRODUCT ALLIED ARTISTS of a preacher who wins over a tough town with love rather than bullets. Added to this list the May release of "Destination 60,000" (Preston Foster, Jeff Donnell, Coleen Gray), an exciting action-drama cn the testing of a new jet with a revolutionary type of fuel. This looks like a timely exploitation bet. Other June-July exploitation releases which should see yeoman duty in rounding out playing time in many theatres are these: For June "Spook Chasers" has the Bowery Boys at their rompingest best, and "Skin Dive Girl" features the curvacious Mara Corday in a very topical adventure. For July, "The Disembodied" and "Daughter of Dr. Jekyll" are just right for hot-summer enjoyment. Also on the July schedule is the Sal Mineo starrer "Dino". As the current teen-age rage, Mineo guarantees this top boxoffice prestige. On tap for August from Allied Artists are "The Victor Riesel Story", "Rebel On Wheels" and "Golden Disc". Republic For some time Republic has been the most inactive of all the major producing companies, turning out only a limited program dual bill fare. Even the lush promises of spring and summer business have failed to nudge production at this company to any length beyond an occasional independent release, mostly British-made. Besides the May reissue of "The Quiet Man" (John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald), the only other bright hope is "The Weapon", selected as an Exploitation Leader. This murder mystery has a good cast in Steve Cochran, Lisabeth Scott, Herbert Marshall and the mouth-watering Nicole Maurey. This might prove to be in the minor "sleeper" category with the proper ballyhoo. Of the other product, two are current: the Trucolor-Naturama outdoor opus, "Spoilers of the Forest" (Rod Cameron and Vera Ralston) and "The Man In The Road" (Ella Raines). Latter is a spy-mystery set in Lcndon with a primarily British cast. The other two May issues are "The Lawless Eighties" (Buster Crabbe), a Naturama western and "Time Is My Enemy", British crime th'iller. Latter might shape up as art house fare. George Montgomery, no s'ouch in the Western field, heads the ca:t of the June Trucolor release "Pawnee", a fair item for hot summer fare, particularly drive-ins. Two others for June are all-British: "Journey to Freedom" and "Operation Conspiracy." Set for July release: "Last Stagecoach West" (Jim Davis, Mary Castle), "The Big Search", "Escape In The Sun" and "Back of Beyond", (John Lupton, Jack Kelly). For August: "Wayward Girl", "Panama Sai".
