...pinched his ample jowls and told him he was cute, he would probably kick you in the shins. Not that Mason Reese, a red-headed seven-year-old who looks uncannily like a 3-ft., 8-in. Arthur Godfrey, is an unfriendly chap. It is simply that Mason does not like to be embarrassed. All that fuss about his being on TV commercials, for example. When other kids recognize him on the street, he would rather play ball than sign autographs. He is suspicious of interviews. He squinted up at one reporter and said, "You're here to look...

...Mackintosh Man. John Huston's newest film. A convoluted and badly constructed plot moves British intelligence to send agent Paul Newman to jail, in order to infiltrate a ring which arranges prison breaks. Fine acting by James Mason, and beautiful Dominique Sanda, whose French accent sometimes gets in the way of her lines, cannot save this film. At the Pi Alley...

There is now a hint in the mail that some of the public may want in on the act. Wives and husbands are arguing about separation of powers, reporters are being forced to carry copies of the Constitution with them. And all those people who were reared on Perry Mason, whose steel-trap mind is always ahead of everybody else's, are wondering how come those fellows on the committee stammer, halt, fumble and they never get a witness to break down in tears and say "I did it. Take me away." I wonder...

Last of Sheila. Slick but interesting. A murder mystery on a yacht. Don't even try to figure out the plot, which is convoluted almost beyond the limits of credibility. Most of the fun comes from watching James Coburn, Richard Benjamin, Dyan Cannon, James Mason, and Raquel Welch play themselves, with plenty of witty Hollywood quips and elaborate sets. Cheri...
