MGM s UNTIL THEY SAIL SLAMBANG, SURE-FIRE WINNER. — Hollywood Reporter IT SETS A NEW PREVIEW RECORD! Read every word of this news flash! ENCINO, CAL., Aug. 21 -An all-time sneak preview record was set last night at the Encino Theatre where "Until They Sail" was shown to an enthusiastic audience. Invariably some patron enters a negative on the preview card for even the most renowned picture, but there was not a single unfavorable vote for the performances of Jean Simmons, Joan Fontaine, Paul Newman and Piper Laurie— a rare tribute indeed. This is a story of New Zealand with its young men away at war and U. S. Marines stationed there. It treats frankly the romantic involvements of these girls without men of their own. The preview cards forecast a powerful woman's picture. "A great emotional experience" is written on many of them. Others said, "enjoyed a good cry," "it's something for all of us," "this is a picture that parents should take their teenagers to see." Hollywood Reporter this morning forecasts that M-G-M has "a slambang sure-fire winner."
