...Arlen score, despite good rhythmic effects, never really gets its beat off the ground. The two or three times the dancing turns lively suggest a last two or three rounds of ammunition desperately fired at the advancing battalions of boredom. Carol Lawrence and Howard Keel are agreeable leads, but to little avail. With none of the succulence of a great big old-fashioned dinner, Saratoga induces all of the somnolence...

The man to beat was a broad-faced Aussie named Jack Brabham, 33.

Back into pop records went the sound of shimmering strings, down went the beat. Of the top ten pop hits last week, only three were out-and-out rock 'n' roll. In Manhattan, Sam Goody's famed record shops reported a 40% drop in rock 'n' roll sales compared to a year...
