Introducing the sturdy young talent of James MacArthur to movies, this is another of the excellent films based on TV plays. The eighteen-year-old son of Helen Hayes and the late Charles MacArthur originated on "Climax" the role that he plays in the expanded movie version. As a sensible teenager hauled into a police station after a movie-theater scuffle, Jim gets no understanding from his father, a producer too absorbed in a successful film career. TV regular James Daly does a firstrate job as the stubborn father; so does Kim Hunter, as the troubled mother.
The Rainmaker
WALLIS, paramount; VISTA VISION, TECHNICOLOR
Here's a wry, wistful, altogether pleasing comedy-drama, which was born as a TV show, though it later became a Broadway hit, as well. Katharine Hepburn's a delight as a spinster who keeps house for her
farmer father and brothers, all lovingly determined to marry her off. Wendell Corey's their choice, but adventurer Burt Lancaster breezes in to break up the pattern. Though all roles are splendidly done, TV viewers will be especially interested in Lloyd Bridges. On a live show a while back, he got so carried away that he forgot to watch his language. It couldn't happen in movies !
Edge of the City
M-G-IVI
Still another TV play becomes an honest and strikingly simple' movie, featuring John Cassavetes as an unhappy youth who can't believe that anyone in the world wants to be his friend. As a fellow workman, Sidney Poitier shows him that he's wrong. It's a gentle story, but violence creeps up and closes in.
The Wrong Man
WARNERS
Just as he does weekly on the TV screen, suspense maestro Alfred Hitchcock comes onto your theater screen to prepare you for a new tale of tension. This one's offbeat for the rotund director. With no whimsical or fantastic twists, it sticks soberly to fact, casting Henry Fonda in the real-life role of a musician falsely accused of robbery, Vera Miles as distraught wife.
