Tiger Tiger Burning Bright, by Peter S. Feibleman, is a little like a Negro Glass Menagerie. The widowed mother (Claudia McNeil) is a ferocious matriarch with a personality as forbidding as a medieval fortress. She has ringed her brood with a moat of make-believe, fearfully shielding them from the outside world. Her daughter (Ellen Holly) is retreating into a tormenting mental twilight of blinding headaches...
...There are years more before I can go anyplace fun," said San Francisco High School Senior Claudia French as she marked her 17th birthday. For many a U.S. teenager, the task of finding nighttime amusement that will meet with the approval of parents and the law is a similarly doleful problem. The nightspots that serve food and nonalcoholic drinks usually lack the entertainment or dance floor that teen-agers look for. Those that have such features usually serve liquor, which is forbidden to the under-21 crowd by law in 47 states* and by the stern disapproval of many parents...

Dorothy Dandridge and Sammy Davis in summer stock can be accounted for by their great box office appeal.

Bell' Antonio (Levine; Embassy), directed by Italy's Mauro Bolognini, is a serious and discreet discussion of a case of impotence. The hero (Marcello Mastroianni) lusts only for women he cannot love; the woman he loves (Claudia Cardinale) he imagines an "angel," and he cannot imagine muddying her wings with animality. When she wins an annulment he is desolate, and his family is disgraced -in Sicily, where the family lives, a man's virility and his public position are intimately interdependent. In despair, the young man turns to a servant girl, gets her with child. The honor...
