STAGE 67 (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). "The Confession" details 32 shattering hours in the lives of Police Detective Hammond (Arthur Kennedy) and Carl Boyer (Brandon de Wilde) a college student who is charged with the murder of his sweetheart when he survives their suicide pact...
...Minimax chain is owned by two American brothers, Ralph Brandon, 65, and David Brandon, 61, who first ventured into the supermarket business 20 years ago in Cuba after making a fortune there in textile mills and finance. Despite some skepticism that Latin men would never be seen pushing a grocery cart, their first supermarket in Havana was an immediate success, and soon the brothers Brandon owned a chain of 14 stores in Cuba. When Castro nationalized their stores in 1960, the Brandons started anew in Mexico, where they now own four stores and operate twelve others...

...takes more than two hours for everything to work out perfectly. In the meantime, several geese are shot down, which means that some rich, heartless hunters have to be driven off. While Ed Wynn and Walter Brennan spew local color, Brandon deWilde survives hand-to-claw combat with a snarling wolverine, beats up the town bully, and finally notices that his childhood playmate (Linda Evans) seems different, somehow, now that she's 17. The bear exits and enters to signal the passing seasons. Fall or winter, though, Those Galloways' Vermont is effulgently photographed. Children...
