...Defector is Montgomery Cliffs last film. Based on The Spy, a thriller by Paul Thomas, the picture describes a harrowing week in the life of a prominent U.S. physicist (Montgomery Clift) who intends to make an innocent tour of museums in East Germany, but is persuaded at the last minute to combine personal pleasure with CIA business. Once across the border, the scientist swiftly discovers that the game of espionage can be played with mirrors.

...SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 9-11 p.m.). Part 1 of The Young Lions (1958), with Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift in outstanding performances as German and American soldiers during World War II. Remember carefully-the second part won't be aired until next Sunday...

Though it is a rather fragile choice, the play's apartment setting and small cast both lend themselves easily to recording. Montgomery Clift is the warehouse "Shakespeare," and Julie Harris plays the gentle keeper of the glass menagerie. Jessica Tandy does creditably as the genteel chatterbox mother, but the role created by Laurette Taylor seems to have shrunk. And David Wayne sounds too grandfatherly as the Gentleman Caller. Nonetheless, their overall performances recapture...
