Give her those good old European paparazzi any time. The Latin American version inspires sheer terror. Flying into Rio for a "rest" with her Brazilian playboy friend, Brigitte Bardot, 29, was met by 150 howling, straining newsmen who chased her clear up to his apartment. When all efforts to break in came to naught, the pack besieged the joint for four days, running their own beauty contest among the babes on Copacabana Beach and checking the trunks of all departing cars to make sure she wasn't smuggled out. Even a writ of habeas corpus failed to lift...
Mancini, 39, is universally considered the king of the trade (TIME, May 25, 1962), with scores such as Experiment in Terror, TV's Peter Gunn and the brand-new Charade to his credit. With him, North, Dimitri Tiomkin, Elmer Bernstein, Ernest Gold and Miklos Rozsa share most of the significant action: together they write the music for at least a dozen pictures a year.

But too often Kazan seems so intent on making his movie move that he dissipates pity and terror in orgies of cinema technique, restlessly blurring the action with camera acrobatics...
...house painter with a record ranging from assault to disorderly conduct in four states, was racing south from Los Angeles in a Chevrolet station wagon purchased with $1,000 of the ransom money. As he drove, his fears that capture was inevitable and flight was foolish mounted to terror. In San Juan Capistrano, Irwin stopped, put in a frantic call to his younger brother James, 41, a school purchasing agent, at his home in Imperial Beach, only twelve miles from the Mexican border. The two had not seen each other for several months. But now, said John, it was urgent...
