...will be supported by a quartet of amateur ballerinas but professional scene-stealers: Film Star Paulette Goddard, 62, as the Queen, TV Panelist Arlene Francis, 65, as the Lilac Fairy, Broadway Dancer Gwen Verdon, 47, as a comical Little Red Ridinghood, and Actress Julie Newmar, 38, as the White Cat. Newmar rises to a majestic 6 ft. 10 in. on her toes, towering over her National Ballet partner Dean Badolato, 5 ft. 4 in. Said Julie regretfully, "I wanted John Lindsay to partner me. After all, he's done everything else." Instead, the mayor was recruited to help carry...
...million in the first nine months of the year. Why, then, did Aubrey leave? For one thing, profits this year are running one-third behind last year's pace, and Kerkorian was growing impatient. Chief reasons for the falloff: MGM's recent movies (The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) have suffered box office anemia, and Grand Hotel cost overruns have been a continuing hemorrhage.

Mrs. Prentice discovers and confiscates Miss Barclay's dress so that the latter is forced to remain in hiding. The bellboy hides when Dr. Prentice enters and Dr. Prentice--appearing crazier and crazier as the evening progresses--endeavors to conceal Miss Barclay, her underwear and his own true motives and actions...
...extraordinary evocation of contradictory emotions. The murderer he plays is both compassionate and utterly despicable--not a split personality but both, simultaneously. The details which reveal Verdoux's character are not mere signposts, as in most films. Chaplin does not show us a man playing with a cat and then expect us to assume on that basis alone that the man has a redeeming facet. Instead, every detail--including the feeding of the cat, every vicious maneuver, every noble gesture, every sparkle in his eyes--contributes to the development of two sides of Verdoux which are present from the very...
