...Romulus deserves attention as being one cut above the average house production both in the seriousness of its intent and in the general success of the execution.

Her leading character undoubtedly was an adolescent in the '50s who thought that the Tennessee Waltz was George and swooned over Johnnie Ray before the author updated her hangups to the '60s. Nothing mishugah about that: Babyhip has already earned $100,-000 in movie and paperback deals...
