...chance of escaping the banalities of her script. CBS's The Wild, Wild West and Ulysses S. Grant ("The nation is in a pot of trouble, boy") enlist Major James West as a post-Civil War Bondsman. He is outfitted with his own railroad car replete with pool table, cues that unsheath to become sabers, billiard balls that detonate as hand grenades. But such gimmickery is simply cumbersome. Except for President Grant, who needs...

Setting the center off from its drab surroundings is a plaza with fountains and a reflecting pool that will double as a skating rink in winter...
...lives with his wife Betty and their nine children in the former British Governor's residence, a vast colonial mansion whose 400-acre lawn is dotted with flowering gardens, a swimming pool and a duck pond. He rarely has time to enjoy it.

Grunting workmen wedged the huge metallic shapes onto rollers, eased them down wood beams, hoisted them upright with...

Fleeing from an evil advertising man, Dave Clark, who looks like a conscientious dropout, takes sad-faced Model Barbara Ferris scuba-diving in a deserted swimming pool, tree-watching in a deserted botanical garden, and wandering through a deserted factory that turns out to be full of pot-smoking beatniks and is inexplicably attacked by the British army (the adults they meet are all bad). Before they run out of location shots, Dave and Barbara have also taken a walk in the snow...
