Lana Turner never looked sleeker or more beautiful; Sandra Dees cuddly and winsome and John Cavin s not difficult to look at either. The settings are lush, and the clothes are dreamy. But you 11 have to watch all these through tears if your tissue’s not handy. One minute, you’re with Lana while she chooses between John and a glamorous theater life with Dan O’Herlihy, a playwright. The next, you look deep into Sandra’s heart and see a lonely teenager confiding her first love in Juanita Moore, her mother’s housekeeper and friend. Juanita’s a warm and wonderful new personality. As her daughter, Susan Kohner has the picture’s most demanding role but it’s sure to be the most talked-about, and Susan gives it plenty of fire. This girl, lightskinned, wants to escape from her mother’s Negro world. The end of their story is one of the most moving climaxes you ve ever cried through. adult Compulsion 20th, cinemascope ^1/ In the 1920’s, America was horrified by the Leopold-Loeb case, but the powerful drama suggested by that crime is more than just a shocker. Two brilliant, rich young students (Bradford Dillman, Dean Stockwell) commit a “perfect” murder. Why did they do it? How are they caught? What will society do to them? As the movie asks and answers these questions, it probes the darkest, most hidden paits of a boy’s mind. The killers are frighteningly real; sometimes you almost feel sony for Dean, who’s the weaker one, just as fellow student Diane Varsi does. Yet you want them brought to justice. What is justice? Orson Welles moves ponderously onto the scene to tackle that last question, in a stunning courtroom finale that will fill your thoughts for a long time to come. ADULT The Shaggy Dog BUENA VISTA Walt Disney introduces his TV favorite Annette Funicello to movies in a happy romp that should tickle your funny bone but good. Annette’s one of a teenaged quartet led by Tommy Kirk, a sixteenyear-old with a nice, wistful-cheerful sort of face. Tommy has a problem: He keeps turning into a dog. That’s right. A large, shaggy dog. You don’t believe it? Wait till you see the picture! Tommy’s kid brother (Kevin Corcoran), his parents (Fred Murray, Jean Hagen) and several spies and cops also get mixed up in the fun and confusion and you can plan on an evening full of fun. family The Mating Game M-C-M ; CINEMA SCOPE, METROCOLOU V'V'V' You’ll love Debbie Reynolds — we predict — in this daffy, wonderful farce. Twinkling, sparkling, bouncing around with a hoyden’s high spirits, she works hard to keep the laughs coming — and they do. With Paul Douglas as Pop and Una Merkel as Mom, Debbie’s folks are a cross between the Kettles and the wacky family in “You Can’t Take It With You.” Income Tax? These innocent farmers never heard of it, until along comes Internal Revenue agent Tony Randall, who’s a lively match for Debbie and somebody you’ll want to see around a lot more. Clowning away together, these two (below left) manage to find some time to slip some romance in between the chuckles. You’ll like that too. FAMILY Gidget COLUMBIA; CINEMASCOPE, COLUMBIA COLOR V'V'V' Gather ’round, Sandra Dee fans. In her biggest role so far, Sandra shows what happens when a very little girl tries to out-boy the boys on the beach (James Darren and Cliff Robertson), where almost all the fun goes on. If your swimsuit isn't your best friend, how do you make a beau out of a pal, with loads of well-stacked competition decorating the sands? In one hilarious scene, Sandra tries chest exercises, but finally has to resort to playing Cliff against Dean, whose dreamy crooning, like the whole picture, is a surprise and a delight. family ( continued ) 28
