...whose acting experience was limited to one role in a still unfinished Hollywood movie, Joe Willie Namath put on a surprisingly good show. For more than a month, the flamboyant quarterback of the champion New York Jets had most of his fans-and himself to boot-convinced that he was going to quit football. Professional Football Commissioner Pete Rozelle had ordered him to give up his part-ownership of the Manhattan gin mill Bachelors III, and to quit hanging around with the hoods and gamblers who populated the joint. Namath pleaded that he was being made a victim of guilt...
...putting his piano playing down," says Dizzy Gillespie, "but he's a better writer than a pianist." Gillespie was talking about Argentina's Lalo Schifrin, 37, who used to jam with Dizzy's band in Birdland days. Today Schifrin is widely accepted in Hollywood as the most inventive composer of movie scores in the business. Since quitting the Gillespie quintet in 1963 to try his luck with films, he has scored 21 features (Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt), three TV serials (including Mission: Impossible, with its pulsating, wide-open jazz theme) and half a dozen TV specials.

...Show me an actress who isn't a personality," the lady once said, "and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star."

...hair is gray and thinning. As he happily addresses Boston's late-morning housewives, he refuses to talk down to them, and insists on "informing as many people as possible, by whatever wiles we have, so that they can understand the nature of reality." His competition consists of Hollywood Squares, Concentration, The Art Linkletter Show, Beverly Hillbillies reruns and, inevitably, The Loretta Young Show. Reality being what it is, that line-up may defeat his efforts. But so far, despite occasional camera bobbles and other evidences of a somewhat amateurish crew, Tempo/Boston is far more interesting than most...
...knowns Italian, French, Czech films as the work individual men. College audience, the newly-discovered gold mine of U.S. film distributors, appreciate foreign films for qualities of high social artistic awareness and personal expression. Given the importance of the youth market for ticket sales, the trend has even hit Hollywood, long considered by native critics the place where individual talent is lost. The names of young directors (Arthur Penn and, unfortunately, Mike Nichols) are becoming good box office. Hollywood has even begun to conceive that the old directors had something to do with their films. Action, the Screen Directors' Guild...
