Screenland Plus TV-Land (Jul 1959 - May 1960)

faeturer March, Kim's attitude toward men has been distorted by a past marriage based on biological attraction. As the romance between this ill-matched pair begins to gain momentum, each alternates from flights into happiness to agonizing soul-searching. Adding to their misery is family pressure from both sides. Finally, in an effort to end her uncertainty, Kim takes drastic action. . . . Certainly not the thing to do, considering the turmoil churning in March. Through all of this, March is magnificent, human and believable in his frailties and strength, and because of him, the final moments are a rich experience. This has great dignity and purpose, with none of the needless groveling in emotional dregs which much too often is passed off as drama these days. (Columbia.) Ask Any Girl ONLY something with the speed of a Grand Prix entry could keep up with this racy Metrocolor confection that stars Shirley MacLaine and David Niven. Because of the perils of keeping the wolf from the door, both financially and physically, Shirley wants to get married. She gets all sorts of offers, but nary a one that will ring the wedding bell. Wealthy playboy Rod Taylor offers weekend divertissements which bode no girl good. Gig Young, a partner with older brother Niven in a market research agency, has other plans for Shirley. Connoisseur of women, Young has a stable of fillies each suited to his whim of the moment. Shirley is the bland diet he uses to taper off from this exotic fare. In desperation, Shirley turns to Niven who agrees to help her hook Young. Niven will personally research all of Young's tidbits, find out their various specialties and pass on this intelligence to Shirley, who in turn will incorporate all into one prize package. Powerless against such potent tactics, Young is about to succumb, when Shirley makes an interesting and fairly obvious discovery. Very funny and very ribald comedy concerned with sex, and the bubbling versatility of Shirley. (MGM.) Blue Denim IT doesn't wear as well as the title implies. Based on the Broadway play, this is the sort of thing best left to its original presentation where it may be watched in proper prospective, not at a Saturday matinee with a bunch of kids to make of it what they may. Briefly, this deals with two very young people, Brandon DeWilde and Carol Lynley, and their discovery of sex. The reasons for this plunge into premature ecstacy are given as loneliness, not being understood by parents Macdonald Carey and Marsha Hunt, and just being spectators to a torrid necking session. Three months later, with the help of a school encyclopedia, Carol discovers she's pregnant.
