...ROBE (ABC, 8-10:30 p.m.). A movie adaptation of Lloyd C. Douglas' 1942 novel. Richard Burton plays Marcellus Gallic, the Roman tribune tormented by guilt about the Crucifixion...
...Each letter invariably recites the North Korean propaganda line that the U.S. must admit its transgressions, apologize and promise to sin no more. They also ask the recipients to organize support to bring pressure to bear on the Government for an apology. Many of the letter writers, including Commander Lloyd Bucher, the Pueblo's skipper, mention the fact that they have confessed their own wrongdoings against North Korea and have so far been spared any punishment...
Visually, Planet of the Apes is just as senseless. The ape community looks to have been designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, on an off-day.

Kim Hunter, Roddy McDowall and Maurice Evans are the best...

And Lloyd Schwartz's charming enthusiast Trofimov, who ended the first act in an exquisitely naive love scene with Miss Firth, seemed afterwards unsure how to time and blend his seriousness and humor...
