...open anyone's eyes in this re-botch of the 1937 movie about the seamy side of the fight game. Between bouts, Presley Elviscerates a few helpless songs, moos over Joan, and twists like Little Egypt. Gig Young as a blarneying promoter and Lola Albright as his "fiancée" try to beat some brains into the picture but the script resists successfully...
...collegians' urge to go on studying stems from all sorts of reasons, and staying in the academic womb is apparently the least of them. Beating the draft is no prime mover, either-although one Princeton cynic did remark last week, "I'm doing graduate work at my fiancée's school next year so I can marry her this summer and avoid the draft."

Besides, the career that Juliet had declined...

"What I love in you-rectitude, healthiness, integrity-is precisely what your love for me would destroy," he writes Héléne. So Héléne returns to her fiancé, body unseduced but mind converted to an abort-as-you-go philosophy of premarital sex. Author Vailland, 54, can be both tough and mordant, as he brilliantly proved in The Law, a grim parable of the jostling hierarchies and jealousies in an Italian village. In Turn of the Wheel, written...
