...Spicier recollections came from Bobbie Ann Sells, 22, and Patsy Jo Harris, 28, both of Chattanooga, both admitted prostitutes. Patsy said that she was called to the Read House by a bellhop during the trial. She went to the eighth floor by elevator, she said, where she met a "marshal" who walked her up the two flights to the jury's tenth-floor quarters. There she had intercourse with five of the jurors. She was paid a total of $100 by a bellhop, who told her that he got the money from "the marshal." At one orgy involving marshals...

...Social Register it's not, and it's spicier than Who's Who. What the new version of the Celebrity Register is, says its movie-credit-like cover, is "an Irreverent Compendium of American Quotable Notables edited by Cleveland Amory with Earl Blackwell." Ringmaster Amory, who killed society, has now set about celebrities, and when in doubt on what to say, he has dropped back and punned. Marlon Brando is "the all-time tempest in a T-shirt."

...Warner, which offered Johnny Belinda as a gamy rape story and Treasure of Sierra Madre as a film in which "women sold their souls," now hints pretty broadly of something sexy in The Hasty Heart. Adapted from John Patrick's 1945 Broadway hit, the film deals with nothing spicier than the last days of a proud, lonely Scottish soldier who is dying in a British army hospital in Burma. What makes the picture good-and the advertising trick twice as shabby-is its success in recapturing the play's disarming mixture of tart humor and genuine pathos...

...dish in most respects, Diary ought to have turned out much saltier and spicier than it is. As the picture stands, it has its lights and moments, especially those in which Co-Producer Burgess Meredith, playing the part of a crazy old soldier, hops & skips around chewing flowers and ogling Paulette (Mrs. Meredith). But most of the comedy dissipates into cloudy, dimly political Gallic melodrama, and the raffish promise of the title is never redeemed...
