...complications. The story is that Pseudolus (Zero Mostel), a slave, will be granted his freedom if he can secure as his master's bride a dumb blonde virgin (Preshy Marker) who has completed her basic training as a courtesan. After a dilatory start, George Abbott's pell-mell direction crosscuts from the chaste to the chase. Pseudolus must foil all the males who are panting after dumb blonde virgins. Sharing the frantic antics are eunuchs, panderers, aging lechers, vainglorious soldiers, and defrocked vestals. For most of them, the stage-right bawdyhouse is home...
Morse got his second goal of the night at 15:28 on passes from Jim Dwinell and Gerry Jorgenson. Bob McVey, ex-Harvard hockey star, caught the defense napping 11 seconds later when he scored from about two feet out on a goalmouth pass from Harvey Mell...

But in the rapid, brutal, whambam style of a man swatting...
Please Turn Over (Peter Rogers; Columbia) carries on the pell-mell misadventures of the producer-director team and some of the players responsible for the success of the British Carry On farces (Carry On Nurse, Doctor, etc.). There was really no need to change the title, unless the producers wanted to capitalize on its suggestiveness; this one could just as well have been called Carry On Suburbia. A teen-age girl, charmingly played by Julia Lockwood (daughter of Actress Margaret), writes a scandalous bestseller called Naked Revolt, and the whole town plays the guessing game of matching members...
...that time, Jack Kennedy's thoughts were far from Wayne Morse. His bandwagon was rolling pell-mell for Los Angeles, and Kennedy himself was winging toward his family's summer home in Hyannisport, on Cape Cod, for a big family celebration with the multitudinous Clan Kennedy. The occasion: Jack's 43rd birthday, this week. It would be a milestone for a candidate who had beaten down almost every other charge against him except the unavoidable one that to some of the party's elders, he seemed too young to be a winner at the polls, even...
