...copies), G.W.T.W. was produced by David Selznick for a sum ($3,900,000) that seemed tremendous by the production standards of 1939. He employed 13 scriptwriters, eight directors, four major stars (Gable, Howard, Olivia de Havilland, Vivien Leigh). He took six months to shoot the picture, which ran 3 hrs. 45 min., won ten Academy Awards and made $7,000,000 the first year it was released. In the 22 years since 1939, G.W.T.W. has been showing continuously somewhere in the world. It lasted four years in London and four in Paris, rolled four triumphant times...
...Oksanen from passing by skirting close to the crowds of spectators who lined the road, but at an intersection eight-tenths of a mile from the finish line, the road broadened momentarily and Oksanen broke into a sprint that got him by. When he crossed the line in 2 hrs. 23 min. 29 sec., Oksanen was 125 yds. and 25 sec. ahead of Kelley-one of the narrowest margins in the Boston Marathon's 65-year history.

Still, it's a great show for what the Disney organization has called "the under-twelve sector," and even though it runs long enough (2 hrs. 6 min.) to make the over-twelve sector squirm. Family seems likely to recoup most of Disney's 1960 losses: $1,500,000. The tigers are pretty, the boa is a swallowpaloosa, the tree house is a little boy's daydream. And the violent, ludicrous last-reel battle with the pirates is a grand display of blow-the-man-downmanship-a regular Donald Duck comedy in live action...
...first astronautrix (measurements: 36-27-34) eats hamburgers for breakfast, is an old hand at airplanes, with more air time-over 7,500 hrs.-than any of the male astronauts. The daughter of a then Air Corps captain, Jerrie learned to fly her father's Waco biplane when she was just twelve years old. "Dad fastened 12 in. planks on the pedals so I could reach," she explains...
