SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES (NBC, 9 p.m. to midnight). Montgomery Clift as Freud...
...single-minded drive for theatrical achievement. Her background has a lot to do with it. She comes from Nebraska, and as a matter of odd fact, so do a remarkable number of other well-known names in show business-the Astaires, Marlon Brando, Johnny Carson, Montgomery Clift, James Coburn, Henry Fonda, Dorothy McGuire and Robert Taylor, to name a few.

It provides an undistinguished conclusion to a distinguished career...
