...female witness. The drama's emotionally wrenching climax succeeds because Actress Barrie has built to it scene by scene. Her quiet, vulnerable eyes enter a plea for understanding that the dialogue cannot match. Mostly, the actors are stuck with expressions of immaculately liberal sentiment, as when the Negro suitor tells his father: "Pop, we're in love, just like you and Mom. What difference does it make if she's black, white, purple or green?" Fledgling Director Larry Peerce (son of Tenor Jan Peerce) too often stages the action with operatic solemnity, and an insistent musical score...

But the characters, from Natalie's mother (who might be an ad for La Rosa spaghetti) to her oafish suitor (a sort of diminutive Chef Boyardee), are all pretty familiar...

He turned out to be Prince Carlos de Borbon y Parma, 33, whose family has its own remote claim to the Spanish throne. Paris-born Carlos is an athletic, brainy, offbeat grandee who studied at Oxford and the Sorbonne (economics, science, law), was a parachute champion, and served...
...Democrats, Glenn's chief suitor was a sometime swimming-pool host and water-skiing companion-Attorney General Bobby Kennedy. But Glenn kept hesitating. He was finally persuaded to make the move by Ohio's Representative Wayne Hays, who is feuding with the state's regular Democratic organization and figured that a successful Glenn candidacy would help his own group seize control. Meanwhile, the regular organization had committed itself to incumbent Senator Stephen M. Young, 74, for renomination...
