Marlon Brando is back in an adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ play Orpheus Descending. The cameraman is Boris Kaufman and the director is Sidney Lumet; Marlon’s a classic tomcat drifter in a dangerous parish, who attracts two women. Acting styles mesh, or mix without blending — Anna Magnani and Joanne Woodward each get opportunities to shine. It’s all poetics and symbolism — dig the snakeskin jacket! — in a fairly realistic setting.

On March 20, 1964, Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau made his way to theaters in The Pink Panther. The Hollywood Reporter's original review, headlined "'Pink Panther' Sure-Fire Blockbuster Comedy Film," is below:
Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther is a rousing addition to the current list of hits, a laugh-out-loud farce that contains some of the most hilarious bits of any picture in years. The Mirisch Co. presentation, directed by Edwards and produced by Martin Jurow, sags in three or four places, but these scenes are limp only in contrast to the great comedy that surrounds ...

“To really live, you must almost die,” sings Marty Robbins, a lesson learned by Austrian import star Maria Schell. Delmer Daves’ best western puts virtue and faithfulness to the test: Gary Cooper’s distrustful, manipulative doctor hides his dark secrets and punishes those that admire and love him. Yet the ultimate reckoning demonstrates that sins can be forgiven and goodness rewarded, even in a corrupt and lawless community. That’s a fairy tale I still want to believe in.

To celebrate what would've been Truman Capote's 90th birthday, we look back at The Hollywood Reporter's 1961 review of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Although it's difficult to understand how our critic saw Holly Golightly as "a woman like many others in Manhattan," it's heartening to learn that leading men were then, as now, valued for achieving "the aura of manliness without sweat." An unusual love story, glamorous, sophisticated, with more than a touch of the bizarre. Breakfast at Tiffany's looks like a box office favorite. The Martin Jurow-Richard Shepherd production for Paramount has good names to add to its
