...Africa, India, South America, Australia, Alaska and Canada for this season's footage, and 12,000 ft. of film are required for every 1,000-ft. program: "An animal does not usually do the same thing twice," explains Meier. "You can't say to your actor, 'O.K., today you walk up and lick the stump...
ANTHONY NEWLEY: IN MY SOLITUDE (RCA Victor). British Actor Anthony Newley has a rare knack: he sings about love without sounding either slick or lovesick. His diction is equal to his conviction, and he may well corner the more sophisticated heart market. Even tired songs (I See Your Face Before Me, For All We Know, The Party's Over) sound fresh...

...aims most of his episodes at the audience for bell-bottom farce - Actor Garner plays them like a nightclub comic imitating Fred MacMurray. Chayefsky further confuses the issues with a lardy interlarded love story -Actress Julie Andrews plays it as though abre-acting a childhood crush on Greer Garson. "All those men moaning," Julie tremulously murmurs to another young woman. "When they healed, they'd come hoping to spend their last nights of leave with me. I couldn't say no to them, could I? I'd just lost my husband at Tobruk, and I was overwhelmed...
