...Kelly is going like sixty. It has been 25 years since he first whirled across the screen with Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal, and now he is Hollywood's busiest (and only) sextuple threat-dancer, actor, singer, choreographer, producer, director. "I wear so many hats," he says, "that sometimes I forget where I've been and where I'm going." These days he prefers the checkered cap that goes with the director's chair. He has just completed A Guide for the Married Man, a kind of lab course in advanced adultery starring...
...producing potential of TV sets first came to public attention in May, when the General Electric Co. announced that it had discovered excessive X-ray emissions from some of its large-screen color TV sets. To eliminate any danger, G.E. said that it was replacing an improperly shielded voltage regulator tube in more than 100,000 color TV sets (18-, 20-, 22-and 23-in.) that were sold between Sept. 1, 1966 and May 31, 1967. But 9,000 of the G.E. sets have not yet been located. The U.S. Public Health Service has now urged anyone who owns...
That, more or less, was the plot of Luv, one of the funniest Broadway plays of recent years. Transferred to the screen, the comedy of the absurd comes close to being a tragedy of the impossible. Author Murray Schisgal's original was a cockeyed but unerringly apt satire of people who make Freud their only poet, whose love talk is all about adjustment, alienation, angst and other pop-psychological cant. But this deft parody has given way to the adolescent vulgarisms of Scriptwriter Elliott Baker, who plots slapstick sequences in a department store and a Japanese restaurant that would...
...Boulting, who directed it, favor a raining-in-the-sunshine effect. And of course with that irrepressible old crybaby John Mills on hand, even a crisp comedy would turn milksoppy. Mills probably has a provisional clause in his movie contracts: "I shall produce X-hundred buckets of tears on screen, or else ..." His daughter Hayley Mills isn't underproductive herself, but she's vivacious enough to get away with it. Remember how she got away with Polyanna, made from the book that was so bad it made the Bobbsey Twins look good...
Producer-Director Ivan Tors, who with such TV series as Flipper and Daktari has made animals his livestock in trade (TIME, June 16), combines two supposedly potent ingredients into one wide-screen epic: The Dark Continent and the Wild West. In Africa, the world's champeen rodeo rider (Hugh O'Brian) and his Navaho sidekick come to Kenya to round up a bunch of wild beasts for an altruistic rancher (John Mills). Object: to create a meat source for the protein-poor Masai...
