...learn that Jake Barnes (sensitively played by Tyrone Power) is informed of his deficiency in exactly that term-"impotent." Nor is there any pussyfooting about the nymphomania of the heroine, who settles for all men in lieu of Jake whom she loves; as man-crazy Lady Ashley (Brett), Ava Gardner turns in the most realistic performance of her career. The other major characters also rise to true book size. As Robert Cohn, the unwanted, brooding Jew, Mel Ferrer is especially convincing. The fascinating quintet converging on Pamplona for the fiesta is rounded out by Errol Flynn (wonderful as boozy Mike...
Sultry Cinemactress Ava Gardner, whose estrangement from hubby Frank Sinatra is now in its fourth fun-packed year, was all set to make it illegal. In Mexico, apparently serious this time about shedding Frankie-she started through the Reno mill three years ago, then lost interest-Ava filed again for divorce.

Kelly are in residence"). Two hundred nobles come out of the woodwork and descend on Versailles, all set to eat Pippin out of house and palace. His daughter's American suitor proposes to merchandise the impoverished monarchy ("The Dukedom of Dallas?-why, ten billionaires would...
...table at 6 o'clock. I come and go as I please. So I can devote my time to them and I'm blessed with their confidence." He was best man when Harry James married Betty Grable, gave the bride away when Sinatra married Ava Gardner. In a world of sharkskin-suited man-eaters, he has risen to the top by sheer amiability, consideration and eagerness to please. Once when he was flying to Hollywood with Milton Berle, the comedian exclaimed unhappily that he had forgotten to buy life insurance for the flight. "Have half of mine," said...
