...account, Frank Sinatra has "admired and respected Howard Hughes for many years." But last week his feelings became less felicitous. While Recluse Hughes remained in his suite in Las Vegas' Desert Inn, which he bought last March, Frank was doing his best to tear down another recent Hughes acquisition, the Sands Hotel. Drowning his sorrow after his casino credit was cut off at a mere $200,000, Sinatra 1) tried unsuccessfully to set fire to his suite, 2) jerked all the telephone jacks and trunk lines out of the hotel's switchboard, 3) promised a pit boss that...

...each other. Eve, best known as Our Miss Brooks, is one of the few comediennes in the business who earns her laugh track. Kaye, who plays an Italian housewife, is a versatile actress, but she tends to overdo to the point that the show may be boycotted by Frank Sinatra's Anti-Defamation League.

What he usually wants is another retake, and he is just stubborn enough to keep at it for hours. Says Frank Sinatra, whom Kelly directed in On the Town: "The guy just never heard of exhaustion." But he has heard about charm, and he can crack the whip without stinging the ego. When he teamed up with Jackie Gleason to film Gigot in 1961, the trade waited expectantly for the Great One to unload his celebrated wrath on the demanding director. Instead, Kelly had Gleason puffing up and down a flight of stairs like a trained St. Bernard and Jackie...

...story is full of opportunities for drama, but the audience has only the script's word that The Naked Runner is a suspense film. Other than swiveling a pair of nervous ferret eyes, Sinatra shows no hint of emotion. Around him are a cast of inept unknowns, many of whom seem to believe that such dialogue as "Get dressssed, ve are goink for a drive," is German for sinister. Director Sidney Furie confuses tension and pretension, hokes up the story with odd-angle camera shots-of a man bicycling alone across a huge airstrip, a confrontation with the enemy...
