...Steal a Million is tastefully directed and competently performed, but its glossy tone somehow brushes out any forward momentum. In a film that cries for wild hilarity and a heady spirit of adventure, everything that is going to happen happens according to long-established rules of the game, from the first skittish encounter to the last eager kiss. Its old-fashioned fun looks overpracticed, becoming merely another workout for a troupe of talented professionals who do their jobs with coolly measured skill rather than warmblooded will...
...Viet Nam question as well. He had miscalculated. Nearly 100 Labor M.P.s-almost one-third of Labor's parliamentary delegation-signed a petition calling on Wilson to completely dissociate the British government from U.S. policy in Viet Nam.

California's forward-looking Pasadena Art Museum plans a survey of his work for this coming autumn...
...ailing Henry IV (Joseph Sommer) first enters clothed in rich blue, accompanied by monks singing a Kyrie (sloppily). He kneels at a priodieu and delivers his great Sleep soliloquy competently enough to make us look forward to his scene with Prince Hal. When that comes, Hal (John Cunningham) takes the hand of the sleeping king and kisses it -- a good touch. But then the director has turned the confrontation into a screaming nightmare. The king, who will be dead in a few minutes, gets out of bed, yells and lurches about like a Hercules; and Hal responds with a torrent...
