The New Interns (Columbia Pictures) (1964)

Mat |-D TELLY SAVALAS Telly Savalas is currently starred at the Theatre in “The NEW Interns,” along with Michael Callan, Dean Jones and newcomer George Segal as other “doctors.” Savalas obtained his present role the hard way. He actually was a pre-med student at Columbia University and, to fill in time until medical school enrollment lists opened up, did graduate work in psychology. As a hobby, Savalas narrated radio shows and films for the United Nations, and documentaries for the National Broadcasting Company. Medicine sort of fell by the wayside. For three years, Savalas held the impressive State Department title of Executive Producer of the English Language Transmission of the Near East, South Asia and African Areas. He then resigned to become Senior Director of News and Special Events for the American Broadcasting Company and, another three years later, became executive director at the Stanford Playhouse, returning to his native Garden City, Long Island, in 1958. Savalas, through all this, had never acted. But, while teaching an adult education course at Sewanhaka High School, from which he had graduated into Columbia, he accepted a television role to help out a friend. His performance attracted the attention of producer David Susskind who insisted Savalas continue acting. From television, Savalas moved into motion pictures: films like “Birdman of Alcatraz,” “The Man from the Diners’ Club,” “Mad Dog Coll,” “Love is a Ball,” “The Interns” and, now, “The NEW Interns.” Also starred in “The NEW Interns” are Barbara Eden, Stefanie Powers, Kay Stevens and Inger Stevens as Nancy. A Robert Cohn production directed by John Rich, “The NEW Interns” is a Columbia Pictures release. Wilton Schiller wrote the story, based upon characters from the novel “The Interns” by Richard Frede. MEDICAL PRACTICE After being typed as an intern on eighteen “Dr. Kildare” episodes, Eddie Ryder, in desperation, asked his agent to get him a movie role. The agent went to work on it, and three days later informed his client he had a fat movie job for him, So Ryder reported to Columbia Pictures, to play one of “The NEW Interns” for Robert Cohn, producer of the dramatic romantic comedy at the Baits seasateds Theatre. John Rich directed “The NEW Interns.” INGER STEVENS Still No. 3F Mat I-J GEORGE SEGAL A virile, young stage actor with thick jaw, Roman nose and perpetual slouch is Hollywood’s newest rage. His name is George Segal and he stars as one of “The NEW Interns,” the new Columbia Pictures release at the Bre aie amtearon es so Theatre. An articulate, dedicated and, at times, rebellious actor of extraordinary talent, Segal has been likened to the late John Garfield, a comparison with which “The NEW Interns” director John Rich, for one, disagrees. “I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to describe George as another Garfield,” says Rich. “The truth is George isn’t like anyone else, He has a quality all his own. And, in this business, that’s precisely what it takes.” Segal owes his present success to the failure of a television series. He came to Hollywood to co-star with Robert Taylor in a series based on the exploits of the men of the U. S. Health, Education and Welfare Department. He appeared in four segments and then was notified that the show had been cancelled. Producer Robert Cohn and director John Rich, recalling his work in an old “Naked City” teleplay, signed Segal for a pivotal role in “The NEW Interns,” that of a volatile, rebellious young doctor in love with a social worker. Also starred in “The NEW Interns” are Michael Callan, Dean Jones, Telly Savalas, Barbara Eden, Stefanie Powers, Kay Stevens and Inger Stevens as Nancy. Wilton Schiller wrote the screenplay, based upon characters from the best-selling novel, “The Interns” by Richard Frede. INGER STEVENS Equally adept at comedy and drama, lovely Inger Stevens currently stars in both the delightful television series, “The Farmer’s Daughter,” and in “The NEW Interns,” exciting new Columbia Pictures release produced by Robert Cohen and now at the Since aes Theatre. In “The NEW Interns,” a compelling account of young people at the start of their careers, Inger plays Nancy, a social worker whose mind snaps after she is criminally assaulted by three young hoodlums. Inger was exposed to acting early in life. Her father, a professor in a Swedish school, was fond of directing college plays. Inger was six when she saw him portray Scrooge in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” the impetus for her to point for a career in the theatre. In America, Inger acted at the Pocono Playhouse and, later, went on tour with “The Women” and Gypsy Rose Lee, and then starred in New York television, before winning a long-term Hollywood contract which permitted her to continue acting in TV and the stage. Also starred in “The NEW Interns” are Michael Callan, Dean Jones, Telly Savalas, Barbara Eden, Stefanie Powers, Kay Stevens and newcomer George Segal. Wilton Schiller wrote the screenplay, based upon characters from the best-selling novel, “The Interns” by Richard Frede. John Rich directed “The NEW Interns,” a Robert Cohn production, STEFANIE POWERS Stefanie Powers is a pretty unusual name, but then Stefanie Powers also is a pretty, and unusually talented, girl. She currently is starred at the Theatre in Robert Cohn’s production for Columbia Pictures release, “The NEW _ Interns.” Stefanie plays a young nurse, newly-wed to a doctor, who learns her husband is incapable of fathering the child they both earnestly desire. In “The NEW Interns,” Miss Powers has the kinds of role she has been looking—for, that of a girl involved in a meaningful man-woman relationship. It is a far cry from her first major screen appearance, as Lee Remick’s younger sister in “Experiment in Terror.” Other of her films have been “Palm Spring's Week-end” and “McLintock.” Miss Powers is one of the most eagerly-sought young stars on Hollywood today; every producer seems to have a role that is “just right” for her. Stefanie was born in Hollywood and, at Hollywood High School, was one of the best dancers in the school’s history. The latter talent led to her screen career. Some day, she hopes, she will get a chance to dance in a screen musical, Also starred in “The NEW Interns” are Michael Callan, Dean Jones, Telly Savalas, Barbara Eden, Kay Stevens, Inger Stevens as Nancy and newcomer George Segal.

RS RASA LAL TER AEE IE EN IE EA a SEIS, SEIS ST NRE Ke GENERAL ADVANCE “The NEW Interns,” exciting new Columbia Pictures release which arrives at the ae Theatre, reportedly is a breathless and exciting drama of young people—whose world is continually rocked by the explosive excitement that is to be found in their own work, and which directly effects their days and nights. Produced by Robert Cohn, “The NEW Interns” is said to be a swiftly-paced screen entertainment whose frank compelling story, really a composite of many, details the private and professional problems of young doctors struggling to complete their year of internship, and the nurses about them. It examines, too, such sensitive topics as sterility, rape and juvenile delinquency. Starred in “The NEW Interns” are Michael Callan, Dean Jones, Telly Savalas, Barbara Eden, Stefanie Powers, Kay Stevens, Inger Stevens as Nancy and newcomer George Segal. Callan plays a brash young girl-chaser, a would-be wolf who runs into— and is delightfully tamed by— pert blonde Barbara Eden, as a student nurse who knows more about man-woman excitement than the medical text books. Telly Savalas appears as the hard-bitten chief of staff who reserves his biggest growls for a rebellious young intern, but is perfectly willing to fight with anyone. Miss Powers is seen as a young nurse wed to an obstetrician, played by Dean Jones, who is unable to give her he babies they both desire, their marriage is headed for the rocks. Kay Stevens, also appearing as a nurse, hostesses the “baby party” which turns into a wallto-wall brawl and newcomer George Segal also stars, as a rebellious young doctor in love with Inger Stevens; as Nancy, Miss Stevens plays a social worker who is raped by three young hoodlums and loses her sanity. The task of giving unity and depth to such a story, with its plots and sub-plots, was entrusted to John Rich, one of Hollywood’s most promising new directorial talents. The screenplay was written by Wilton Schiller, based upon characters from the best-selling novel “The Interns,” by Richard Frede. eseeeeeveee KAY STEVENS Kay Stevens, the attractive comedienne who has been convulsing supper club and television patrons with her hilarious and unpredictable humor, again brings her mad-libbing talents to the screen as a nutty nurse in “The NEW Interns,” the Robert Cohn production for Columbia Pictures release at the Theatre. Miss Stevens sponsors a wild party in her current film, which also stars Michael Callan, Dean Jones, Telly Savalas, Barbara Eden, Inger Stevens as Nancy and newcomer George Segal. Kay’s party originally starts out as a decorous “baby shower’ for the wife of an intern, and builds up into a baby bash of spectacular proportions when “The NEW Interns” exuberantly crash the affair and turn it into a wallto-wall brawl. John Rich directed “The NEW Interns,” from a screenplay by Wilton Schiller based on the characters from Richard Frede’s novel, “The Interns.” OPENING NOTICE PR RR ST OC LTAC SRILA ET “The NEW Interns,” due.....
