...Snows of Kilimanjaro (20th Century-Fox) is likely to remind most adult males of their more lurid adolescent daydreams. Produced by Darryl Zanuck and vaguely based on the Ernest Hemingway short story, the movie is a Technicolor travelogue that ranges from Africa to Europe to backwoods Michigan, a sort of scenic railway running through a Tunnel of Love...
Bouncily directed by Robert Siodmak, and photographed in Technicolor against real Italian settings. The Crimson Pirate turns out to be great fun. Lancaster, a onetime circus acrobat, bounds from balconies and cliffs, fights his enemies with fists, swords and belaying pins, swims under water, and swings from the ship's rigging with the greatest of ease.

Washed up with her is a blond, boyish Marine corporal (Tab Hunter...
...raccoon coats did little else but pour down bathtub gin, read Elinor Glyn's It, dance the Charleston, and indulge in such bon mots as "hot diggity," "the cat's meow" and "skiddoo." The result is a thoroughly lightweight but agreeably lighthearted little taffy pull in Technicolor. Surrounding Multimillionaire Coburn are a number of pleasant young people, including Piper Laurie, Rock Hudson, Gigi Perreau and an enthusiastic assort ment of sheiks and shebas...
