Time was when no Saturday-afternoon kiddie movie was complete with out a Batman-and-Robin episode. Children roared their approval as the "dynamic duo" burst through windows, grappled with thugs and wrestled with wild animals in their lengthy pursuit of the evil Japanese Dr. Daka. Batman fell into cinematic and literary obscurity during the comic-book cleanup of the '50s (in 1954 Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham compared the relationship of Batman and Robin to "a wish dream of two homosexuals living together"). But in the Great Society, everyone lives better, and Batman and Robin have recently been rehabilitated into...
While there, she gets just mad enough to cry. The episode might be more affecting if Ruth Gordon had not made Mrs. Lord just as odious as her Goneril-and-Regan duo of daughters. As every contemporary playgoer knows, the family is an heir-conditioning unit: bitches beget bitches. The denouement is embarrassing, as Mrs. Lord marries one of those beamish Balkan boys with a rich grandmother fixation...
...High Camp resembles a Bavarian beer garden. On a large patio lined with flapping flags and dotted with tables shaded by orange umbrellas, customers eat inexpensive sandwiches (an overstuffed club sandwich costs $1.50) while the Eidelweiss Duo, decked out in Alpine costumes and playing accordions, punctuate their German and Austrian songs with an occasional yodel.

At 7 p.m., Gushing kicks off the evening's entertainment with an oldtime movie, ranging from the ragged...
...kindred soul in his father-in-law (Herbert Marshall), a tycoon smitten with aphasia and therefore exempted from many a dull speech. Reels later, the hero's name, his wife's pretty neck, his marriage and the fine china are salvaged. Actors Peppard and Ashley, a romantic duo off screen as well as on, toil in vain to capture the thrill of it all for posterity. What they see in each other will undoubtedly outlast The Third...
...last year's Bewitched formula to inspire three new ghosts to walk. In NBC's My Mother the Car, Ann Sothern has died but returns as the disembodied voice of a car Jerry Van Dyke buys. The Smothers Brothers (CBS), who used to be a funny-folk duo, will impersonate a junior executive and his deceased brother who returns as an angel, I Dream of Jeannie (NBC) tells the imaginative story of an aspirant astronaut and Jeannie, a genie (it's a big year for clever names). As played by Barbara Eden, Jeannie is apparently not dead...
