...Roots of Heaven (Darryl F. Zanuck; 20th Century-Fox), adapted from Remain Gary's international bestseller (TIME, Jan. 20), appears to be one of those movies that are more exciting to make than to see. To make this one, Holly woodsman Darryl Zanuck and 130 dauntless actors and technicians were flown into darkest Africa to the searing barrens beyond the Hill of the Demons in the French Cameroons. The demons did not appear personally, but the place was hell, all right. By day the temperature stood as high as 140°, at night it never sank below...
When Producer Darryl Zanuck mala-prophesied that the national institution of the '30s known as Shirley Temple "would be good every year of her life as long as she lived," few believed him. Hollywood realists knew that most peewee paragons grew up to be monsters or misfits, kept little of their young luster. But the opening chapter of NBC's Shirley Temple's Storybook last week sent viewers on a wildly nostalgic binge and helped make good the ancient Zanuck prophecy. Shirley Temple, now a full-bodiced 29, had bridged a whole generation without losing so much...
...Hotel George V in Paris, green-bathrobed Moviemaker Darryl F. Zanuck told the New York Herald Tribune's Columnist Art Buchwald how he rated Author Ernest Hemingway as a movie critic.

Hemingway was quoted in the London Sunday Dispatch as saying: "I saw Darryl Zanuck's splashy Cook's tour of Europe's lost-generation bistros, bull fights and more bistros. It's all pretty disappointing, and that's being gracious. You're meant...
...Also Rises (Darryl F. Zanuck; 20th Century-Fox) is real Hemingway almost all the way. The characters of Hemingway's first topflight novel come truly alive in this film-often in the fine individual triumphs of some actors over their own miscasting. It is the story itself -the Lost Generation expatriates running away from themselves in Paris and Spain-that sometimes stumbles, as if Producer Darryl F. Zanuck and Director Henry King had decided that the best way to condense the novel on film would be literally to shoot the action and dialogue in well-chosen chunks. Half...
...that, in the end, Producer Zanuck and Director King do not quit when Hemingway is ahead. The film's semihappy ending is an altogether sappy ending. The book made it plain that there was no hope for Jake and Brett ever to alter or escape their anguished, futile bondage. Yet the movie has them finally agreeing to the silver-lined proposition that "there must be some answer for us -somewhere...
