Action Director Don Siegel (Coogan's Bluff) changes his pace in The Beguiled, a Southern gothic horror story that is the most scarifying film since Rosemary birthed her satanic baby...
Fashion Whimsy. Knickers, too, are currently occupying as prestigious a position in women's wardrobes as they once did in men's. No longer the saggy, baggy trademark of golfers, aging croquet enthusiasts and Jackie Coogan, the style has undergone a thorough rejuvenation, first at the virtuoso hands of couturiers Valentino and St. Laurent, now by just about every fashion house in the business.

Eastwood looks grizzled, stares into the sun and sneers, but anything more demanding seems beyond his grasp. Shirley MacLaine, on the other hand, has considerable range and some charm, both of which have been pretty well blunted by the monotonous consistency of her roles. Things...
Calvert and Captain Robert Coogan, 48, commandant of the brigade of mid shipmen, encourage their charges to question the rules they live by. Calvert thinks a regulation with no purpose should be jettisoned. Coogan tossed out the rule requiring seniors on liberty to stay within seven miles of the campus. "It didn't make much sense," he says. "Seven miles was purely arbitrary -probably how far Dewey could get down the road in his horse and buggy...
