...nominee for an Oscar. But curiously enough, Audrey Hepburn might very well lose the Oscar - to Julie Andrews. In Walt Disney's Mary Poppins, Julie has just opened to flat-out raves in New York and Los Angeles (TIME, Sept. 18), playing P. L. Travers' classic nanny with a sparkling sweetness that belies the original but also with an inner light that is original in itself...
...last week. His painting, a poetic blend of childish innocence and sophisticated whimsicality, is often dominated by an edgy displacement of figures in space. His bite is sharp in 16 etchings for The Rake's Progress, a series on his adventures in Manhattan, inspired by Hogarth's classic. California Art Collector, explains Hockney, combines quaintness and caricature. Asked about the tiny efflorescence of white behind a support at the right of the work, Hockney replied: "Californians are very proud of their Clyfford Stills. That's a little Still...
...also pushing for more decision making by plant managers instead of central planners, has been successful enough to announce that his ideas "will be extended next year over the whole of Soviet light industry."

Now, all Mildred's beads, feather boas, and skin-tight finery bedizen the substantial person of Kim Novak. Though the film will give ordinary moviegoers little pleasure...
Diary of a Chambermaid, like the Gallic classic on which it is based, begins as a gay little gibe at the manners and morals of a French provincial town. Like most movies made by Mexico's Luis Buñuel (Los Olvidados, The Exterminating Angel), it ends as a harrowing vision of hell on earth. In the early reels Buñuel respectfully inspects the comfortable surfaces of life in a "good family." In the rest of the film, with the help of his cunning heroine (Jeanne Moreau), he cruelly forces the family's closets and drags...
