Palance, possessed of one of Hollywood’s gorgeously villainous faces, this time plays an alltoo-human private detective assigned by an insurance company to recover a priceless gem stolen by an amateur crook. Complicating the chase for Palance is the seductive Miss Ekberg, an international thief also on the track of the diamond. The manhunt starts in New York, shifts into high gear in Lisbon, proceeds to Madrid, gets hot in Paris and reaches a climax on the boat-train to London. Palance catches up with his quarry, played by Patrick, but cannot make the arrest until he is certain as to the whereabouts of the missing diamond. On the other hand, there is the red-hot impact of La Ekberg, who, using her considerable feminine wiles, attempts to coax Palance into moving over to her side of the law. In time, of course, Palance finds the jewel and Miss Ekberg snares both him and it. As the determined private eye, torn between duty and the lure of a beautiful woman, Palance gives a realistic, muscular performance. Miss Ekberg is as gorgeous as ever, while Patrick is excellent as the mild-mannered accountant who commits murder in order to steal, and keep, the priceless gem. Anthony Newley is delightful as Palance’s roving-eyed Spanish aide. “The Man Inside” was penned for the screen by David Shaw from the novel by M. E. Chaber. John Gilling directed and Harold Huth was associate producer. Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli served as producers for Columbia Pictures. (Nigel Patrick ) Can a director take direction from another director? The answer, states British actor-director Nigel Patrick, is “yes.’’ An established favorite on both sides of the Atlantic for his work in starring roles in “A Prize of Gold” and “Raintree County,” the international star recently found himself at a cross-roads; he had to decide whether or not to direct to the exclusion of straight acting. Then Patrick was offered a choice role as co-star with Jack Palance and Anita Ekberg in Columbia Pictures’ new CinemaScope suspense drama, “The Man Inside,” at the .......... Theatre. The part was an unusual one, that of a mild-mannered accountant who spends 15 years of his life plotting the theft of a fabulously-expensive diamond because its beauty has become an obsession with him. The part was tantalizing, but Patrick wondered if he ever could take direction again as an actor, once having been on the other side of the camera himself. Patrick had doubled as directorstar for the first time on “How to Murder a Rich Uncle” and then performed similar chores with the London stage comedy, “Not in the Book.” “The answer came on the first day of rehearsals,” he recalls, “and I was pleased to find that I could now work even better with another director than before.” “The Man Inside,” a Warwick production, features Bonar Colleano, Anthony Newley and Sean Kelly. Based on the novel by M. E. Chaber, the suspense drama was penned for the screen by David Shaw and directed by John Gilling. Harold Huth was associate producer; Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli served as producers. (Mat 2-4; Still N und London Ja Pal “The Man Inside.” } Cin naScope suspense drama. (Jack Palance) How to be villainous and sympathetic at the same time is the problem which bedevils actor Jack Palance. “It is easier to be a lovable hero than a lovable heavy,” Palance explains. Jack is hero instead of heavy in his latest film, Columbia Pictures’ “The Man Inside,” new CinemaScope suspense drama at the adonvAny Theatre in which he costars with exotic Anita Ekberg and Nigel Patrick. “To be menacing in a film, an actor must have some redeeming qualities, some understandable personality factor which the audience can comprehend and with which it can sympathize, or else the actor winds up with a greater number of enemies than friends. Villainy can be very good box-office, but only if one is able to endow the villain with some characteristic meriting sympathy.” Since his straight villainy in “Shane,” Palance has hesitated to accept any “bad guy” role which did not offer some opportunity for depicting an unfortunate, unhappy or misunderstood soul behind all the despicable action. Featuring Bonar Colleano, Anthony Newley and Sean Kelly, “The Man Inside” is based on the novel by M. E. Chaber. Written for the screen by David Shaw, the Warwick production was directed by John Gilling. Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli were producers.

Anita Ekberg admits that glamour photos are a good short cut to screen success, but she has found they plague her in her efforts to become known as a serious actress. The Swedish beauty, currently co-starring with Jack Palance and Nigel Patrick in “The Man Inside,” Columbia Pictures’ new CinemaScope suspense drama at thew ae.c sate Theatre, maintains that “the public is not willing to admit beauty and talent can go together. Even an actress like Marilyn Monroe has difficulty in getting the public to think of her as something more than the girl on the calendar.” Anita admits that a reputation for “sex appeal” gave her the start which set her above the thousands of other lovely girls trying to crash Hollywood. “Fashion photos gained a reputation for me,” she says, “but my real break came when I appeared on a Bob Hope TV show for servicemen in Greenland. “At the time I was happy to reap the publicity and jobs earned by a glamour reputation,”’ she adds. “It gave my career a boost of several years, but now I can see it may take me years longer to convince people I can do more than smile and look pretty.” “The Man Inside,” a Warwick production for Columbia, features Bonar Colleano, Anthony Newley and Sean Kelly. David Shaw’s screen play is based on the novel by M. E. Chaber. John Gilling directed. Harold Huth served as associate producer and Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli as producers. (Palance Reader ) There is such a thing as being too realistic an actor, as Jack Palance recently discovered. One scene of “The Man Inside,” a Warwick production in CinemaScope for Columbia Pictures, required the actor to be beaten up by thugs and then dragged off struggling by Spanish police. During location shooting on the suspense drama at the ........ Theatre, two actual Madrid police officers were employed as themselves. Jack’s acting was a little too realistic for the policemen and, when one of the actor’s elbows accidentally slipped into a uniformed rib, the Spaniards reacted forcefully. A bad few moments followed as the policemen readied punches for Palance’s jaw. Anita Ekberg and Nigel Patrick are starred with Palance in “The Man Inside,” a suspense thriller of a diamond chase that covered two continents.
