The dramatic point is lost because one of the key char- acters has been eliminated (an investigator who was him- self a sex-nut, a rapist and a. murderer), and what stem- med from that situation: the expose of Dr. Chapman as a fraud and a publicity seeker. This is not tc say that the original Dr. Kinsey was eith- er, but that was the argument of the novel and the heroic protagonist of the book (an- other investigator) became disillusioned with his hero- leader and quit. * a * What is left are several of the original characters and situations: the ‘frigid’ wid- ow of a war-hero (Jane Fon- da!) the dissatisfied wife of a stuffy husband who is having an extra-marital affair (Shel- ‘ulture under fascism bared € sadness of Spain and the plight of her painters On display at the Henry 4lery in Seattle until Oct. in an exhibition called temporary Spa nish ne”. . =fis show, which is tour- few "€d voices of protest and © not so muted.

The launching, said the of- ficial Soviet announcement, “is a further stage in the ex- ploration of cuter space and the plants of the solar sys- tem.” Astronomer Academician N. Barabashov declared fol- lowing the announcement: “Studies of the planet Mars will be crowned by the land- ing of man on its surface. “Regular observation over long periods must be carried out to study the daily and seasonal changes on _ the planet.” * * * This was “absolutely nec- essary in order to explain all the peculiarities of physical conditions there.” Life definitely existed on Mars, he said. If there was no vegetation in its seas, dust blown, from martian deserts would soon fill them in, changing the seas’ color to that of the continents.

Claire Blcom, who reveals a talent for acting, is over-direct.d. by George Cukor to the point of being continually in heat, ccntinually drunk and so ob- viously disturbed that not even the crudest male would make a pass at her in real life. What validity the film achieves as entertainment ang enlightenment (aside from the obvious points made about the difference between sex “outlets” and love) rests in the capable hands of Glynis Johns, as the arty bohemian —who is an adorable «kcok and funny as they come—and Shelley Winters, one of the best dramatic actresses on the screen, who makes her frustrated wife moving in two relationships in which she is involved; her stuffy marriage and her mad pas- sion for a man who couldn’t care less. —DAVID ORDWAY land.
