...Killed, James Garner pops his eyes and furrows his brow over the quaint proposition that the colony of international spies quartered in Lisbon has nothing better to do than chase around trying to filch $5,000,000 worth of smuggled industrial diamonds. Cast as a standard case of mistaken identity, Garner eludes more than 20 villains who sport accents to match their allegiances. Helping along from crisis to crisis, with defused dialogue for weaponry, are Tony Franciosa as a would-be smuggler, Sandra Dee as an addled tourist, and Robert Coote as a British embassy chap...
...FROM U.N.C.L.E. (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Illya is mistaken for the son of Peter O'Toole in "The Arabian Affair"-perhaps the funniest bone U.N.C.L.E. has tickled this season. Repeat...
...plunges into the overture, the curtain goes up-and then? Well, what follows cannot be properly called a movie musical.

Cast a Giant Shadow, another exercise in movie biography, may be filed as a case of mistaken identity: any resemblance to persons living or dead is sacrificed to make elbowroom for Hero Kirk Douglas. The ostensible hero is Colonel David "Mickey" Marcus, a Jewish graduate of West Point who became New York City's crime-busting commissioner of correction under Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, was a wartime adviser to President Roosevelt and helped to organize the Nurnberg trials. In 1948, after serving as unofficial military adviser to Israel, he became supreme commander of the Israeli armies fighting the Arabs...
