Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1963)

a soul, a mind? I really don’t think so. “Anyway, it’s no use making a movie no one goes to see. If we want the European audience, which is accustomed to realism, we have to go along with the form their movies have taken. We have to try not to be childish about it.” They were good answers. So good that it would have been easy to assume that the young actress who gave them had no doubts at all. But Carroll Baker has doubts. Despite all the excellent reasons, despite all the well-thought-out rationalizations, she gives one the distinct impression that she is deeply troubled about what she has done and may one day be called on to do again. “I have to separate what I do in my work from what I am at home,” she said slowly. “My work has no connection with what I believe ethically and morally, and with what I want out of my private life. Yes — I keep them separate. . . .” Yet, there is a danger in splitting one’s life neatly in two. For the day may come when Carroll’s two small children will see outside a movie theater, a titillating photograph of their mother in the nude or semi-nude, her private and professional lives will come together with a crash. “You can’t protect children from the world,” Carroll says now. “When my children are old enough, there’s nothing they can’t see, experience. I hope they will he mature and understanding enough.” But is confidence enough? Carroll has confidence that “Station 6 Sahara” is not a vulgar film — but she had to threaten to sue its producers a few months ago because of a dummied-up publicity photo which featured her head on the body of some other woman in the act of removing her brassiere. She has confidence that the people who see her in the film will agree that the nude scene is justified by the story — but because of that scene, and the realistic love scene with co-star Peter Van Eyk (shown at the beginning of this story), the film is having censorship problems in the United States and may never be seen here in its entirety! We live in a sex-obsessed society. Sex is used to sell cigarettes and automobiles and clothing — on billboards, in newspaper ads, on TV. Radios and juke boxes blare erotic rhythms and suggestive lyrics day and night. Books sell on the strength of the number of four-letter words they contain, and movies on the “shock” value of their love scenes. Is this necessarily bad? Is the human body, revealed to our eyes, evil — or good? Or is it only the nature of its revelation — in a painting by Renoir or in a ‘girly’ magazine — that determines its morality? Is it right — or wrong — to show our times and our selves as they are, rather than as some think they ought to be? Philosophers, psychologists, educators and social workers are hard at work on these problems — and finding clear-cut answers hard to come by. It is hardly surprising that Carroll Baker doesn’t yet have them all — and is, beneath the surface, confused by those she does have. But until the answers are known, Carroll and all the dozens of other actresses who, with troubled hearts, are now working in the nude, will have to wonder — worry — wait — and hope for the best. — Sy Barber r HOW I "GAVE UP” CIGARETTES... and still smoke two packs a day! j: 7 1 bought a new TAR GARD — greatest advance in protective smoking ever made ! TAR GARD knocks the tar out of cigarettes. With every puff, you see dark, gluey tars build up inside the holder . . . even if you’re smoking a filter cigarette! These are the hot, harsh tars that put the worry into smoking. TAR GARD is the holder that takes them out. Not a filter, not a gadget, TAR GARD adapts a principle used in the jet engine. The device in a TAR GARD builds the speed of cigarette smoke to 200 m.p.h. As the smoke hurtles into the holder, it smashes against a barrier; the tars are literally flung out of the smoke. Up to 85% of the dangerous, high-temperature tars are trapped inside the TAR GARD. The cool, flavor properties go right on through with the smoke. Smoking is pure pleasure. Your mouth tastes clean and fresh; your teeth stay whiter; smoker’s cough vitually disappears. Every puff is cool and delicious, with barely a worry in a lungful! See for yourself! Every TAR Gard comes with a transparent holder as well as an opaque black one, so you can see the revolutionary TAR GARD device work its wonders ... before your very eyes! And you never replace it or discard it — it's permanent. The price — $2.95. If you aren’t enjoying smoking more, and worrying less after 30 days, return it to us and we’ll refund every penny you paid.
