...Dust Bowl. Robert (Michael Sarrazin) is an open-faced kid from a farm. Sailor (Red Buttons) is a Navy veteran whose ship has gone out. The man running the marathon-and carrying the movie-is a dime-store Barnum named Rocky (Gig Young). The son of an itinerant faith healer, Rocky has read the book on corruption and added footnotes of his own. Disgusted at what people-including himself-will do for money, he articulates the film's message: "There can only be one winner, folks, but isn't that the American...
...Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln-The War Years lies amid a clutter of radio equipment and six telephones. A devout Methodist in a largely Moslem and animist nation, a member of an insignificant tribe in a federation of tribal giants, Gowon clearly sees himself in the Lincolnesque role of healer of his nation's divisions.

...soon filled with an identical emotion. Every other shot, it seems, is the crotch of a pair of male dungarees; every adolescent attempt at high metaphysics recalls the warning that mysticism begins with mist and ends in schism.

Allen Revivals, Inc. grossed $2,692,342-not counting the salaries of Allen and his two associate preachers, who take their cut directly from "their ministry...
Died. Greet Hofmans, 74, Dutch faith healer whose influence on The Netherlands' royal household made headlines around the world in 1956; of unknown causes; in Amsterdam. In 1949 the gaunt, gravel-voiced spinster, who claimed that God had invested her with supernatural powers, was summoned by Prince Bernhard to work her miracles on the young and partially blind Princess Maria Christina. The ministrations failed, and in 1950 Prince Bernhard ordered the faith healer from the palace-though Queen Juliana continued to consult her and allowed her to have meetings on Queen Mother Wilhelmina's estate. Rumor held Miss...
