Passionate Summer (Marceau; Kingsley International) is the kind of plain-brown-wrapper movie that could have been authored by an unlikely collaboration of Henry Miller, in his heyday, and the late Dr. Alfred C.

John Oettinger downed Pete Lund, 5-15, 15-11, 18-14, 15-13; Mait Jones defeated Hank Holmes, 18-14, 11-15, 15-7, 15-8; and Ash Eldredge won from Bob Hartley...
