...fashioned taste for the back court, for stylish strokes, for careful strategy worked out through a long, exciting exchange of shots. Such tactics seldom stand a chance against the "big" game of today's champions-and until this week Ken had a habit of finishing secondbest.

Actress Monroe, robbed of her usual glamour by bleached makeup and unmoistened lips, still generates enough sex to console the nation's Venus-worshipers, and her comedy turns stand up well against the broad playing of Don Murray and the smooth professionalism of Betty Field and Eileen Heckart...
