...Huntley to New York in 1956, ostensibly to compete with CBS'S Edward R. Murrow. But a chance pairing with Washington Correspondent David Brinkley at the 1956 political conventions made television history. Huntley's informed earnestness was the perfect foil for Brinkley's wry wit. Enthusiastic viewer response prompted NBC to reunite the team on the evening news in October. The program's sign-off ("Good night, Chet"-"Good night, David") soon became a slice of Americana. The Huntley-Brinkley Report consistently clobbered the opposition networks in ratings and won every major award available to television...
Golden-Oldies. On ABC in recent months, a viewer could renew acquaintance with all kinds of golden-oldie situations. There was Kirk Douglas playing a worm turned psychopathic killer in Mousey; Robert Gulp as a bourgeois daddy forced to defend suburban hearth and home from a predatory adolescent gang in Outrage; Gulp again as one of a group of men who must work while their women anxiously wait in Houston, We 've Got a Problem (namely a space shot gone awry); Gloria Swanson doing a dotty old lady thing with her friends the Killer Bees; Natalie Wood and Robert...

In A Drama of Jealousy (and other things), Marcello is back in a more familiar role as a jealous husband. This film was originally titled The Pizza Triangle...
...hope, in all this confusion, that Don't Look Now doesn't get lost. This is a film of dramatic imagery and pychological complexity. Its originality makes unusual demands on the viewer's visual imagination; I was surprised, as a result, that it has been such a commercial success. If only it weren't for those three wilder moneymakers storming the country, Don't Look Now might convince movie moguls that the public can appreciate an intelligent film...
