Dean Martin, 46, is a reconditioned crooner who looks like a Vitalis ad, but too often his behavior on the screen is just greasy kid stuff. He has a low flair for stand-up comedy and lie-down love scenes, but he tries so hard to be smooth that he mostly seems oily. What's worse, in recent years his style has been influenced by one of his best friends, and something like Sinatrophy appears to be setting...

Hollywood's effect on Hayden was curious: whereas most leading men (Flynn, Bogart, Wayne) began after a time to believe their own roistering publicity, Hayden found himself beginning to disbelieve in everything he had ever done...
