Precious Jewel. The Sabbath, on which manual labor is forbidden, presents another challenge for the kosher housewife. Friday is usually a day of frenzied activity-cleaning, shopping, preparing meals in advance for the tranquility and family intimacy of Saturday. There are some personal satisfactions. At sundown, after the wife lights the candles preceding the traditional Sabbath-eve dinner (typical menu: gefilte fish, matzoh-ball soup, chicken or beef, potato kugel), the husband often chants an ancient song of praise for his wife. Drawn from Proverbs 31, it begins: "A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than...
...have enjoyed everything a rich woman can have in life," Madame De Maria announced after a visit. "And all I desire now is a modest retreat where I can read and reflect. I'd like to be able to chat with a shepherd in a field at sundown and munch hard-boiled eggs." With that, she asked the town fathers to let her pay for the restoration of Bargème's ruins and take up residence in the town...

One turkey was born of that union-Hurry Sundown -and Faye went her own way to stardom. Now Preminger wants her back under the terms of their contract, and filed suit in New York complaining that she failed to show up for work as ordered for the beginning of a new picture. Otto wants damages, plus an injunction that would keep her from working for anyone else...
...Hurry sundown by Otto Preminger. Bernard Shaw postulated that great playwrights by definition write great plays, and this is certainly the easiest way to defend Preminger's' Hurry Sundown, a difficult and dramatically unrewarding film. Like most of the great European directors who work in Hollywood, Preminger, takes little of America for granted, and his films are marked by a distinctly individual way of seeing the world.
