But this is the first time that the parents of Carrie Frances Fisher have been full-fledged co-stars. Ironically, the two are here parents only by mistaken identity. As a humble department-store employee, Debbie gets stuck with a foundling. She's assumed to be the little charmer's mother, and when the boss's son (Eddie) takes an interest in her "sad" case, he's tabbed as father.

Between his dramatic chores (which he performs in fairly neat style for an acting greenhorn), Elvis also does dreamy ballads, gusty rock 'n' roll. (In 1865??) At Your Neighborhood Theaters The Ten Commandments (Paramount; Vista Vision, Technicolor) : Pioneer in the TV-to-Hollywood trek, Charlton Heston makes a splendid Moses in DeMille's vast epic, with Yul Brynner as Pharaoh, all-star cast, spectacular camera effects. Giant (Warners, WarnerColor) : As a hearty Texas rancher and his gently-bred bride. Rock Hudson and Liz Taylor get fine support from TV trainees— James Dean, Carroll Baker, Dennis Hopper, Sal Mineo— and radio-TV vet Mercedes McCambridge. Westward Ho the Wagons! (Buena Vista; Cinemascope, Technicolor): Fresh and appealing adventure yarn, produced by Disney, teams Fess Parker with TV adversary Jeff York, as scouts leading a wagon train through Indian country. Public Pigeon No. 1 (RKO, Technicolor) : In a film version of a Climax! play. Red Skelton's an innocent lad victimized by swindlers.
