Married since 1958, Stars Newman and Woodward here celebrate their fifth picture together. They are an attractive and talented pair, but the Lunts in their heyday could not have saved this one. So many men's-room jokes to memorize. So many interludes of leaden-footed fantasy to plod through. If A New Kind of Love didn't take the magic out of their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Newman are odds-on to become the sweetest little old couple in Hollywood...
Time was when the bank robber was the prince of professional criminals. But nowadays, it seems, the rankest amateurs can knock over a bank-and a remarkable number of them are trying it. In 1932, the bank-heisting heyday of John Dillinger and his ilk, there were only 606 bank robberies in the U.S. Last year the FBI reported a record number of 1,250, and the pace is even faster...

...brief heyday around the turn of the century, the tendrilous international style of art nouveau swept over Europe, dominating the design of everything from the Paris Metro stations to ordinary knives and forks. The inevitable reaction against it was particularly violent, and the whole movement was dismissed as a rather ludicrous, if temporary, aberration. Artists like Alphonse Mucha, if remembered at all, seemed as dated as gaslight and their work as decadent as Oscar Wilde's sun flower. But lately art nouveau has been getting a new look. Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art had a big show...
