...night spots, Club Tokyo and Night Tokyo, now cater to an all-female clientele with well-scrubbed young hosts in dark suits who are available for cosy chats and dancing at $2.22 per hour. The aim, explains Club Tokyo Manager Motoki Inoue, is "sex equality in this he-man's land." Nightly, merry widows in miniskirts and portly housewives in kimonos turn up where the boys are. Some come in for the evening from as far as Osaka on the 125-m.p.h. bullet train; nearly all are between 30 and 40 years old. A middle-aged maitre...
...acting remains irresistible. Clark Gable's appeal is eternal--witness the admiring gasps at his first on-screen appearance. He is the supremely confident male, the ultimate proof of his virility coming not in he-man scenes but at the moment when, talking baby-talk to his week-old daughter, he projects the ineffable tenderness of a proud and strong father. The breathtaking bravura of his proposal scene to Vivien Leigh sweeps not only the lady off her feet but the whole audience as well...
Kicking "Big C." Thirty-eight years of such energy, courage and authority have made John Wayne the greatest moneymaker in movie history: the gross comes to nearly $400 million.

Part of BDAC's answer is to tap such teen-age idols as Paul Newman, whose hip and he-man manner make him an ideal narrator for its film Bennies and Goofballs, some 200 copies of which are now circulating among schools and youth groups. Even more effective are hard-hitting documentary films in which the cameras simply train on the young addicts themselves. Almost every junior high school student in Boston, for example, has seen the movie Hooked at least once in the past two years. In the film, one teen-ager straightforwardly tells how she once stole...
Hydrophobia He-Man. The producers chose the Connecticut location, says Director Frank Perry (David and Lisa), chiefly because it matches Cheever's Eastern setting. Hollywood pools are not right anyway. Burt Lancaster, for example, has a little $30,000 layout in Bel Air, with a heating system, a waterfall and a tributary running into the living room. It was too splashy for Cheever country, so Lancaster & Co. had to go East. To add insult to imposition, Hollywood He-Man Lancaster was required to take three months of swimming lessons first to cure his mild hydrophobia...
