...pool shark sinking a tricky shot into a side pocket undoubtedly offers more range. Kid also has a less compelling subplot. Away from the table, McQueen gambles on a blonde (Tuesday Weld) and on the integrity of his dealer pal, Karl Maiden. Pressure comes from a conventionally vicious Southern gentleman (Rip Torn), whose pleasures include a Negro mistress, a pistol range adjacent to his parlor, and fixed card games. As Maiden's wife, Ann-Margret spells trouble of another kind, though her naive impersonation of a wicked, wicked woman recalls the era when the femme fatale wore breastplates lashed...
...Right Honourable Gentleman, by Michael Dyne. They don't write plays like this any more. Thank goodness. Gentleman is a neo-relict from the mothballed fleet of melodramas that Shaw laid to rust when he attacked the theater of genteel piffle. Those bygone plays were Victorian clutched-handkerchief-and-smelling-salts operas.

...drinking in a handsome Arab cabaret in Palestine. Exposition is almost unnecessary for such an archetypal trio: Leo, the young leader (John Richardson); Major Holly, the older officer (Peter Gushing) who used to be a college professor; and Job, their comic but loyal batman (Bernard Cribbins) in a gentleman's gentleman's derby and a lower-class accent. In almost no time at all, Leo has been abducted by ruffians with gold medals bearing his profile and dragged before the blonde and beautiful Ursula Andress...
This summer, like most, has been a hard one on Roger. "The kids leave the campus, you know, and the editors store up on their good stuff for the fall." Existing on such skimpy fare as Mademoiselle's campus issue ("Campus Activists Discuss Their Lives") and Gentleman's Quarterly ("Bill Bradley, Princeton '65," and "Robert Morris Taylor, Ohio State Celeb") Roger pined for fall...
