Comment: Based oni an orig- inal Tennessee Williams @tory, this is a tense off-beat sex dramla that poducer-director Elia Kazan has turned. ino an absoni-ing film by bis expert liandiing of the players and sit- uiati'ons involved. Altbough the story revolves around the tbree leads, Kani Maiden, Carroll Ba- ker and Ehi Wallach, it is Miss Baker's m&gnificent delinea- tion o! the voluptuous "Baby DoIt" that is the o'îtstanding feature, and few will be able Io resist the persuasiveness o! her portraya1. The picture wili appeal mosily te mature adults, those who 1i.ke the Tennessee Williams' style of writing and riijoy, the higb]y emotional, rtaî-klv realistic sebool of act- ing, Wliile there rnay be some ar-guments concerning the de- grecs c'! the picturc's enter- tainment wortb, aIl must agree Iiat for a film o! its type, it is an outstanding production. Mal- deni does exceptionally well -%ith the vol 'e of the frustrated, loiîiish husband, wbile Elh Wallach, well-known Broad- wvay actor making bis first sercen appearance, gives a sauve pontrayal of the other man wbose romancing brings about a climax o! murderous rage froni the busban<d. Other roles are competent]y portnay- ed by Mildred Dunnock as the old aunt and Lonny Chaman as Wallach's foreman, with a dred years of the hlstory of the Christian faiih she could find no record of anly one outstand- ing penson who was resporla- ible for the growbh o! Chris- tianity, but that its growth was sustained by the ordinary peo- pie such as we, with the one important characteristie, sheir fellowship one witb another. They had formed a church ?nd were joined together in an unbreakabie fellowship and on Christ ail were brothers. Fel- lowship is a noble thing and enobiing; We feel that we be- long 10 one another and it is a good thing to "belong". She said that fellowship takes its form In many waya and that aimait no one was immune ta the feeling o! nos- taigia wben the thoughts corne about "belonging" to the home- town of one's youth. She cited her own feelings o! longing for lhce sound of the sea in spite o'f thr fact that she now lives near Lake Ontario, an¶d quoted from Masefieil's "Se&' Feirnr", 1' musti go dewn te thc e M agairi",Everyone lep-go fer S.- low.ship anel as mem1bénef o U W.A. we feed that langing for !ellowship by providing a place for women where they mnay satisfy that longing and feél that someone canes. Mns. Mid. dieton ended ber talk by recit- ing a poemn beglnning 110h Lord o! pots and pans and thinz7r", She leit ber spellbound auidience with many wise anei gripping ihings to remembeýr and not a few eyes were di- rreetly patted to remove the trace's o! tears which so able a speaker often starts.
