Doctor No. Ian Fleming fans will get more than their money's worth in this somewhat overdone dollop of derring-do about British Agent 007, a mad scientist and an atomic furnace. Sean Connery is properly urbane and unbelievably brave as James Bond. 55 Days at Peking. The Boxer Rebellion gets the wide-screen treatment, and the result is a full-scale war. Among the foreign devils who make the Chinese so mad are David Niven, Ava Gardner, Charlton Heston and Paul Lukas...

The cost of putting on a play has rocketed. In 1953, a revival of Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars was staged for $400. Today, it could not be duplicated for much less than $15,000, the current average production cost...
