Pat. off new movies {Continued from page 8) ALL THE YOUNG MEN in the Korean War Alan Ladd Sidney Poitier James Darren Glenn Corbett Mort Sahl ■ They are in Korea, all of them, including exheavyweight champ Ingemar Johansson. In case you didn't know it before, war is hell, snow is cold and the Marines are tough. Twelve of them have to hold a farmhouse until the main body of troops catches up to them. Eleven of these men would like to go meet the main body but Sidney Poitier, who has been placed in command by their now dead lieutenant, won't budge. Since Sidney is Negro some extra tension and resentment are felt, particularly by southerner Paul Richards. Alan Ladd's mad because he's an oldtimer who expected to take command. The nine others generally do what they're told. Mort Sahl, who delivers a wryly comic soliloquy, and James Darren, who sings a song, are among those others. Holding the farmhouse against the enemy horde takes some doing, but that's not all the drama. Poitier is forced to give a blood transfusion to one of the men — a shocking experience to the Southern "gentleman," and an honest attempt to save this film from complete triteness. — Columbia. RECOMMENDED MOVIES: THE APARTMENT (United Artists): The comedy in The Apartment is pretty wry. Jack Lemmon, see, works for an insurance company. His system for getting ahead is to lend his bachelor apartment to the older (and married) men in the company, as a place to meet their girlfriends. His boss (Fred MacMurray) has a girl (Shirley MacLaine) who is secretly loved by Jack, who doesn't know about Shirley and Fred. Well, the laughs are there but the humor is nevertheless mixed with the unhappy tension of a part of big-city life. STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET (Columbia): In a suburban community of young-marrieds, Kim Novak and Kirk Douglas find themselves caught up in an unexpected love-affair. Architect Kirk has a wife, Barbara Rush, and a commission from Don Juan-type author Ernie Kovacs to build a house: everything should be perfect except that Kim and Kirk have fantasies that this new house is theirs. The solution of these triangles comes with the finishing of the house. Is the romance also over? Go see. FROM THE TERRACE (20th-Fox) : Returning soldier Paul Newman has an alcoholic mother (Myrna Loy), and unloving father (Leon Ames), and big ideas about what he should now do with his life. Ambition brings about a marriage with wealthy Joanne Woodward and destroys it. Joanne's old boyfriend and Paul's new girlfriend help raise to fever pitch the burning question this film presents — shall a man choose love or money? THE SUBTERRANEANS (MGM) : The 'beatniks' of the world (well, anyway, the West Coast) gather in San Francisco to Live. Create, Suffer (though mostly it's the last). Among their number are George Peppard. Leslie Caron, Janice Rule and Roddy McDowall. It's a complicated though interesting plot. My God, Will I End Up a Spinster? (Continued from page 25) You know how to model, you know how to pose. But it's got to be a nude. And if I'm going to do it at all, I want to do it soon." "Why soon?" asked Kim. "Because," replied the artist, "and I'm going to give it to you straight — you are not married so there's no husband to object. And you will not be beautiful forever. Do you understand?" Kim stood up and walked to the great north window that slanted into the studio. She stared at the busy city streets below. "You mean my time is short?" she said, not looking at him. "Every woman's time is short," said the sculptor; "it is her proudest moment. But it is not hers. It must he given to the man she loves. If she tries to keep it to herself it will destroy her. And she will be lost as a woman forever." Kim nodded her head, still staring. Then suddenly, without warning, she turned, grabbed her coat and ran out the door. The sculptor watched her exit in silence. He knew what he had said was true. He knew, too, that his words had driven deep into Kim's heart. . . . No running away As Kim drove home one phrase of the sculptor's kept repeating itself over and over in her mind. "No husband ... no husband . . no husband. . . ." There was no running away from the truth. It wasn't the first time Kim had pondered the question. "My God, will I end up a spinster?" Four months ago the world would have bet that today Kim Novak would be Mrs. Richard Quine. Instead it was all over with Dick. Or was it? Kim didn't know. Even after three weeks in a hospital because of a mysterious ailment the doctors call hepatitis, Kim didn't know. And all that time thinking hadn't helped. Once more, following the pattern of anguish that had repeated itself endlessly in her life, Kim was again without a man. Is it Kim's fault that she is not married? Women think it must be. One Hollywood actress, not nearly as beautiful as Kim, but married to a man she loves and the mother of three lovely children, comments: "Kim suffers the curse of all beautiful women. She prizes her beauty above all else. As an adult female she has never had to compete with other women. We who are less than gorgeous have had to beguile a man, deliberately attract him, trap him in a nice way, let him see or understand that the real and lasting beauty in a woman is her faith, her love and her respect. "It is what every woman should know. That beauty can attract a man but it cannot hold him." Most of the men who have romanced Kim in the last ten years agree. One actor says that: "Kim's beauty is overpowering. Close to it you cannot think, you cannot be aware of anything but her loveliness. What she says means nothing. What she thinks is a complete mystery. You are concerned only with the shape of her lips, the irresistible moistness of her eyes, the grace and movement of that beautiful body. And when you leave her all you can do is shake your head, as if someone had slugged you, and say to yourself. 'What happened? Where am I?' You remember Kim as a dream and everyone knows that dreams don't come true — not that kind of dream." Kim may not enjoy her reoutation as a sexpot, ard it may be unfair, but it's Kim's own fault she earned it.
