LOVER COME BACK
U-I; Eastman Color; Director, Delbert Maim; Producers, Stanley Shapiro, Martin Melcher (Adult)
who’s in it? Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Tony Randall, Edie Adams, Jack Oakie. what’s it about? Business and sex duel between a dashing ad-man and a prim Madison Avenue career woman. what’s the verdict? The three “Pillow Talk” people have done it again, with a rollicking comedy that coyly pretends to he terribly naughty. Tony supplies the laughs while the main gag is being set up; then Rock takes over with a hilarious “shy guy” routine; Doris (in clothes by Irene) is eye-soothing throughout.
TENDER IS THE NIGHT
20th; CinemaScope, De Luxe Color; Director, Henry King; Producer, Henry T. Weinstein (Adult)
who’s in it? Jennifer Jones, Jason Robards, Jr., Joan Fontaine, Tom Ewell. what’s it about? Troubled marriage of j a once-brilliant psychiatrist and an heiress who has been his patient. what’s the verdict? This serious dramatization of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel sharply re-creates his special era, the 1920’s, and the shallow lives of Americans in Europe. In spite of good acting, it isn’t too successful at invading the worlds of psychoanalysis and the very rich, who fascinated Fitzgerald so.
LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA
M-G-M; CinemaScope, Metrocolor; Director, Guy Green; Producer, Arthur Freed (Adult)
who’s in it? Yvette Mimieux, Olivia de Havilland, George Hamilton. what’s it about? A mother sees the solution of her daughter’s tragic problem in a young Italian’s love for the girl. what’s the verdict? Delicate handling and the mellow settings of Florence give this unusual story an air of tender romance you’d hardly expect from the subject. Yvette deserves special applause for a difficult job: playing a lovely woman with the mind of a child. Nice work by Rossano Brazzi and Barry Sullivan, too.
THE CHILDREN’S HOUR
U.A.; Producer-Director, William Wyler (Adult)
who’s in it? Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, Fay Bainter. what’s it about? Gossip started by a wicked child brings ruin to two young women who run a girls’ school. what’s the verdict? Audrey and Shirley manage to give emotional scenes shattering impact, but they’re operating against handicaps. The stage mechanics of the well-known play creak with age, and the whole story hinges on a character that just can’t be accepted as a human child — the part of poor little Karen Balkin.
SERGEANTS 3
U.A.; Panavision, Technicolor; Director, John Sturges; Producer, Frank Sinatra (Family)
who’s in it? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford. what’s it about? The Clan plays a game of U. S. Cavalry ’n’ Indians. what’s the verdict? Well, the boys are just having their fun, so we might as well relax and go along with them, even if they do ramble all over Bryce Canyon for a couple of long hours in this comic horse opera. Joey Bishop’s cast as a stuffed-shirt stooge, but he gets the best lines — or at least he makes them sound that way. ( Continued on page 10)
