Robert Wagner, Janet Leigh, James Mason and Barry Jones in 20th Century-Fox's lavish CinemaScope film, "Prince Valiant," based on the popular comic strip. Prince Valiant A ll of the pageantry, chivalry and col*^ orful backgrounds of King Arthur's court are skilfully incorporated into this action film. The story, based on the book and popular comic strip, faithfully traces the maturing of 'Prince Valiant (Bob Wagner) — as a man and as a knight. Honored knight Sterling Hayden takes young Valiant under his wing to teach him the various skills a member of Arthur's court must master. The friendship between the two becomes sorely strained, however, when both fall in love with Janet Leigh. The triangle is further widened when her younger sister, Debra Paget, admits her love for Prince Valiant. Following some knightly adventures, several rough and tumble tournaments, the romance is straightened out, with Janet and Bob paired together and Hayden and Debra betrothed. James Mason is particularly effective as a villainous knight determined to thwart Valiant. Film's presented with the usual lavish CinemaScope treatment. 20th Century -Fox. Red Garters Here's a topsy-turvy musical that spoofs movie cowpokes and punctures ye old code of the West. Rosemary Clooney, Jack Carson, Guy Mitchell and Gene Barry sing out that life should be more like the movies and then set about showing you their remedy. The sky suddenly becomes a Technicolor yellow, the houses have only fake fronts, and every time there's a hanging the whole town celebrates with a barbecue. Sound strange? Then you'll probably feel as perplexed as Guy Mitchell who wanders into this strange set-up looking for his brother's murderer. You see, even if your brother is a no good varmint, the law sez you gotta revenge his death. Eventually, Guy discovers Barry's the villain, but instead of winding up at each other's throats, the fellows skip the shootin' and wind up smoochin' with Pat Crowley and Joanne Gilbert. It plumb shatters the code. Tyrone Power, a half-caste British captain in charge of the Empire's Khyber Rifle Unit, comes upon the sleeping villain, Guy Rolfe, in "King Of The Khyber Rifles." 14 Guy Mitchell and Rosemary Clooney in "Red Garters," razzle-dazzle musical.
