...life, Andrews, 34, is one of the last of the great English music-hallmarks. She can sing effortlessly, make a mug or a moue with equal facility, throw away a line and reel it back in with the best-when she is given half a chance. Her latest, Darling Lili, is only a quarter of a chance...
...Johnny Mercer-Henry Mancini numbers. The performance is enough to restore the star-but not her film. Director Blake Edwards (Julie's new husband) seems to believe that if a man failing off a roof is funny, then two men falling should be hilarious.

His efforts proved insufficient last week to capture the necessary 75% of the delegates at a party caucus. But Mrs. Romney, 60, who had earlier insisted that she would run only if her party drafted her, declared as a candidate anyway. Though she is the kind of candidate...
