...aggressive enough for the times. Another disappointment came in 1966, when Farmer was asked by the Johnson Administration to head a literacy program funded by a $900,000 grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity.

...wounded innocence to their roles. Jones has an unhappy tendency to recite many of his lines with a kind of Method fidget, but he could yet become one of the better young actors in Hollywood. As Tobey, Yvette Mimieux uses her doe-eyed vulnerability to maximum effect.
