Grooves on the Neck. An unidentified mummy clearly was too much for Rhyl's local police force, and the call went out for expert help. The Home Office sent Pathologist Dr. Gerald Evans and Biologist Dr. Alan Clift. Entomologists studied the dead moths and flies found in the closet. Also enlisted was a London University Egyptologist who was a specialist on ancient mummies. For weeks the experts studied their find. Unwrapping and comparing a 2,500-year-old mummy from Liverpool University, they measured the shrinkage of the bones to determine that the woman had died two decades...

Known to be just as explosive as Marilyn, Montgomery Clift was variously happy, snide, exploding with nervous laughter, once fell to the ground and rolled with joy on seeing some old friends. Drinking whisky and Seven-Up with assorted cowboys, making an elaborate do about picking up their speech and mannerisms, Clift spent his week looking forward to a chartered flight to Los Angeles, where he would see his favorite singer, Ella Fitzgerald; the producer called it "Monty's little treat...
...novels: Scriptwriter Paul Osborn has lifted some characters and incidents from William Bradford Huie's Mud on the Stars, but much of his plot is taken from Borden Deal's Dunbar's Cove. As finally assembled, the picture tells the story of a young TVAgent (Montgomery Clift) who is ordered to turn an 80-year-old woman (Jo Van Fleet) off her land so that a big new dam can be closed, the area flooded, and a waterpower project set in motion. She refuses to budge. "I don't sell my land," she croaks fiercely...
