NEW YORK 34, N.Y. ‘
seems lately that some Hollywood ele-
ments are in competition to see who can
make the most depressing picture. This
one is one of the top contenders as it tells
the degrading, depressing and dated senti-
mental story of a trumpet player and a
dance-hall girl (Tony Curtis and Debbie
Reynolds) trying to stay alive in the sup-
posedly brutal jungle of New York City.
Poor. (B)
Sergeant Rutledge (Warners) — John
Fox mixes western and southern problems
and comes out with a racial issue of the
old west, but the comedy and sentimental-
ity and action soften the punch of the
story. Jeffrey Hunter and Constance Tow-
ers star. Wood Strode plays the title role
of the Negro sergeant on trial for his life
in an army court. Good. (A-2)
Solomon and Sheba (United Artists)
— If you’ve seen this one then you know
how bad it is. It’s an insult to the Old
and New Testaments and is one of the
worst films ever made as well as being one
of the biggest. Phoney as all get-out. Yul
Brynner and Gina Lollobrigida star. An
abomination. (B)
Story of Ruth (20th Century-Fox) —
Beautifully costumed and tastefully pre-
sented, this is still a bit dull despite the
beautiful acting job of Peggy Wood as she
struggles with star Elana Eden (a rather
blah and bland newcomer) to bring the
heavy script to life. Fair. (A-1)
The Third Voice (20th Century-Fox)
— Edmond O’Brien, Laraine Day and Jul-
ie London in a simple, small-budgeted, but
well-acted story of deliberately mistaken
identity. Very good. (A-3)
The Unforgiven (United Artists) —
John Huston’s latest. A bit uneven and
overcut but nevertheless anything John
Huston brings to the screen has good en-
tertainment and artistic value. I’d like to
see it with all the scenes that were drop-
ped put back in. Burt Lancaster and Au-
drey Hepburn star. A very good film of
racial problems in the early days of Texas.
(A-2)
When Comedy Was King (20th Cen-
tury-Fox) — Some of the old silent stars
return for well-deserved recognition from
their hysterical audiences. A well done
and highly underrated film. Excellent for
all. (A-1)

olics what they can do in Cath-

ricular activities. Shirley MacLaine and
Fred MacMurray also star. Fair, despite
some good touches. (A-3)
Babette Goes to War (Columbia) —
Brigitte Bardot in her first fully-clothed
role. Unfortunately the comedy is not up
to the novelty. Only fair. (A-2)
Black Orpheus (Lopert) — One of the
few real breakers in the overly-touted
“new wave” of subsidized directors, its
creator has filmed the Orpheus legend and
situated it in carnival-colored-calypso Rio.
A freshness and originality seldom found in
today’s motion pictures. Excellent adult
entertainment. (A-3)
Bobbikins (20th Century-Fox) — This
is a picture to show to that friend of yours
who feels that any British film is better
than any American film. Max Bygraves
stars with Shirley Jones. He discovers that
his infant son can talk at an age when no
child could or should jabber. This leads to
him getting some hot market tips, etc. But
somehow it’s a bit of a bore. Weak enter-
tainment, unless you’re absolutely ga-ga
over curly tops. (A-1)
version of the Broadway play. But the
sow’s ear shows through and there is no
silk purse made of it. Yul Brynner and the
late Kay Kendall star but it often becomes
not only funny but veers into poor taste..
Mediocrity presented well. (A-3)
Our Man in Havana (Columbia) —
Alec Guinness, Burl Ives, Ernie Kovacs,
Noel Coward and a great cast turn in some
good performances in an interesting pic-
ture that has an unusually good number
of ingredients but turns out to be a failure
overall, not knowing what it is or what
it seeks to do or say. Fair. (A-3)
Psycho (Paramount) — An unusual
theme and some good acting but here
Hitchcock gets tasteless in striving for
originality . . . often embarrassingly and
needlessly so. Tony Perkins stars in this
blood and gore-all-over-the-floor melo-
drama about mothers and birth-knife kill-
ings. A shocker. (B)
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies (M.G.M.)
— Jean Kerr’s book title and some of its
incidents have been used in this story
about a drama critic. Cute and wholesome
for adults and adolescents, it’s far from
the true story of what a critic’s life (pro-
fessional or home) actually is. Good fun.
(A-2)
Pollyanna (Buena Vista) — One of the
most charming pictures of the season. Well
directed all around, it has the charm and
nostalgia of bygone days and never tum-
bles into the syrup of sentimentality that
it might have. Exceptionally good is Hay-
ley Mills in the title role. She’s got more
personality, charm and acting ability than
any ten too-pretty child actors. Richard
Egan, Jane Wyman, Adolph Menjou, Karl
Malden and some other old pros add much
to the film — Malden as a preacher has
some of the film’s most humorous and most
tender moments. Excellent family fun. P.S.
Kevin (“Moochie”) Corcoran is thrown in
for good measure. (A-1)
Prisoner of the Volga (Paramount) —
How bad can a picture be, see this one
with John Derek, Elsa Martinelli and
Dawn Addams (who, despite being for-
tunately killed off in the beginning, gets
big billing). It’s a real Russian wolfhound,
in other words, a dog. Incredibly awful.

pretentious, dull tasteless cineversion of
the raucous, dull and blah Broadway play.
Music good, but some of Cole Porter’s best
tunes are out and some other Porter ma-
terial thrust in. Frank Sinatra and Shirley
MacLaine are totally miscast; Louis Jour-
dain and Maurice Chevalier are totally
wasted. Embarrassingly bad. (B)
Conspiracy of Hearts (Paramount) —
An almost powerful and usually convinc-
ing story about Italian nuns smuggling
Jewish orphans to safety during World
War II. Melodramatic ending takes this out
of the real or great drama and plunges
into the category of cops-and-robbers
with the script using nuns and Nazis. Lilli
Palmer stars. Very good. (A-1)
Flame Over India (20th Century-Fox)
— A rattlin’ good adventure story with
lots of action and good suspense — plus
some political and ethical problems tossed
in. Kenneth More guides Lauren Bacall
and a caboose-load of refugees away from
a maharajah’s palace and to safety from
the Moslem attackers. The chase is exciting
and the scenery likewise. I bring this re-
view to a close before I succumb to the
temptation to mention something about
Indians biting the dust. Very good. (A-1)
Hannibal (Warners) — Victor Mature
leads the Yugoslavian army (dressed as
Carthaginians and Romans) into battle
along wth some pretty beat-up looking cir-
cus elephants (dressed as war-elephants).
It’s a film with some exciting moments
but little depth, freshness or originality.
Fair (but the kids will like the battle
scenes). (A-2)
Hiroshima, Mon Amour (Zenith) —
An interesting film to see and discuss;
more interesting to discuss, since it’s mes-
sage is more important than its technique.
Personally I think it’s over-rated and pre-
tentious despite its courage in discussing
the atom bomb dropping. Also incomplete.
What he "ays has some importance but
how he says it is important too, and the
director doesn’t say it well, thus making
the film dull.
I’m All Right, Jack (Columbia) —
Peter Sellers in a ripping spoof of labor-
management relations. One of the best
comedies around today and sure-fire laugh-
ter for adult audiences. (A-3)
The Mountain Road (Columbia) —
James Stewart, with a few loyal soldiers
(and the inevitable good looking girl) vol-
unteer to destroy a road before the Japa-
nese can get to it. Good. (A-2)
Once More, with Feeling (Columbia)
— A well-made and richly ornamented

(M.G.M.) — An interesting but almost
