A straight A student, she whipped through High School in three years and enrolled in evening classes at Hunter College. She modeled during the day —a career she had started when she was eleven! When her family moved to New York, Pam became the top juvenile model, appearing in all the smart magazines, including Vogue, which came to use her almost exclusively. On a chance trip to Hollywood, Pamela was spotted by Hal Wallis, the same man who discovered Burt Lancaster—her co-star in “The Hallelujah Trail.” Wallis quickly tested her and as quickly cast the girl in “Summer and Smoke.” After two more pictures, with her career at full tilt, Pam felt her personal development was being neglected and returned East where she enrolled at Columbia University.

Jim Hutton Back In Comedy Role The screen almost lost a_ fine light comedian when Jim Hutton decided to go straight dramatic last year.

He’s a captain in the cavalry in “The Hallelujah Trail,” now at popular prices and continuous performances and opening in Technicolor and Ultra Panavision at the Theatre, through United Artists release. An epic comedy of the Old West, the film co-stars Burt Lancaster, Lee Remick and Pamela Tiffin. In Jim’s last western, “Major Dundee,” he was lauded for an excellent dramatic performance. . . but he was only an enlisted man. So perhaps comedy is more rewarding. In any event, he’s back in the kind of role which first won him popu larity and praise from national magazines, including Newsweek and Time. His previous pictures include “Looking For Love,” “Period of Adjustment,” “The Horizontal Lieutenant,” “Bachelor in Paradise,’ “The Honeymoon Machine” and “Where The Boys Are.” Born in Binghamton, New York, Jim began his career while stationed in Germany with the U. S. Army. He established the first English-speaking theatre in Berlin, where he directed and played in five productions, entertaining soldiers, students and other American personnel in the area, While appearing in “The Caine Mutiny,” director Douglas Sirk saw him and offered him a part in “A Time To Love and A Time To Die.” Next he did seven half-hour “Citizen Soldier” television episodes and another movie, “Ten Seconds to Hell.” But it was his switch to comedy that really made Jim a hit . and now he intends to make at least every other picture for fun. The film is a Mirisch Corporation presentation.

This may be why! “Hallelujah Trail” is a Mirisch Corp. presentation. ‘Hallelujah Trail,’ Epic Comedy, Finds Location Problems No Laughing Matter (Production Story ) Working at cross purposes with nature, in an atmosphere charged with conflicting interests, producer-director John Sturges found mighty little to laugh at during production of his epic comedy of the Old West, “The Hallelujah Trail.” Starring Burt Lancaster, Lee Remick, Jim Hutton and Pamela Tiffin, the wacky western opens in Technicolor and Ultra Panavision Saetsines at the .......... Theatre, through United Artists release. This is its first showing at popu lar prices and continuous performances. Setting up shop about twenty five miles from Gallup, New Mexico, the “Hallelujah Trail” company found unexpected Indian trouble, and none of it in the script. The arid, parched lands needed rain and every time a dark cloud appeared in the sky, an Indian witch-doctor took off in a plane to shoot crystals through it! The red-man’s high-flying medicine worked well, and unseasonable rains came in such copious quantities that the company pulled up stakes a month ahead of schedule and returned to Hollywood where the special effects men exercised better control of the elements on a sound stage piled high with jagged rocks, red dirt and dust . . . to simulate the Gallup countryside already on film. Later they all came back, bringing huge generators, camera trucks, sun reflectors, air-conditioned dressing rooms and 58 other pieces of rolling stock, including six wind machines to scatter 50 tons of Fuller’s Earth in a mammoth manmade dust storm, But not even the guaranteed employment of several hundred Navajo braves completely appeased the rain gods, The first day’s shooting this second time out was greeted by thunder, lightning, hail and flash floods, in that order! Altogether, The Mirisch Corporation, which produced “The Hallelujah Trail,” shelled out $7,000,000 before the picture was “in the can” and before they were finished they had unwound the wildest and wooliest—and wettest—western tale ever told: about a wagon train of whiskey! Sixteen hundred barrels of booze and French champagne, winding along the trail from Julesburg to Denver in 1867, where a thirsty populace eagerly awaited it. Heading them off at the pass, of course, were the Indians. But also out to get them were a band of hardy temperance ladies. Two columns of cavalry rode to protect the women and the wagons . and a posse of miners marched down the Rockies to keep an eye on the Army. The inevitable show-down, called “The Battle of Whiskey Hills,” is probably the most incredible combat ever filmed, including a scene in which the Indians are inside the circle of wagons, with the cavalry riding around them! For Burt Lancaster and most of the cast, this was their first foray into out-and-out comedy—and as all will tell you, their daily adventures on location couldn’t have been more comical if they had been written into the already laugh-packed script. Head Designs Edith Head, who designed the costumes for “The Hallelujah Trail,” opening ............ atethe: 2356 Theatre on a popular price, continuous performance basis, through United Artists release, is Hollywood’s foremost fashion expert. A familiar figure to audiences watching the annual Academy Awards ceremonies on TV, Miss Head has stepped up to collect Oscars on seven occasions, apart from eighteen additional nominations—often two and three in the same year, for she is as prolific as she is talented. For “The Hallelujah Trail,” filmed in Ultra Panavision and Technicolor, she not only designed the gowns for stars Lee Remick and Pamela Tiffin, but also the rough-and-tumble costumes worn by Burt Lancaster, Jim Hutton and all the cavalry troopers, miners, wagon train drivers . . . and even the Indians.
