OF MS feVelry. IL is as lush and
lavish as the original narrative
was lean and moving. Never
theless, it has the ingredients of
popularity at the box Office, es-
pecially in its huge tapestry like
recall of the wanton ways Of
American exiles In Paris.
The time has been switched
from post-World War I to post
World War II, but the general
idea remains quite the same.
The men are handsome and
witty. the women beautiful and
desirable, and as pairs they
match perfectly in wildness, lost
ness and an uneasy feeling that
happiness is GLIDING them.
The chance to sum up a party
that ran as long as Fitzgerald's,

however, Director Richard Brooks
is unable to Undue it with the
reality that Fitzgerald managed
to inject into his characters and
the restlessness of their agonized,
alcoholic quest. Stretched over
two hours, this Technicolored re-
turn to Babylon runs conspicu-
ously thin.

The fellow who intends to clear
his name of a murder charge
even If he has to commit murder
to do it is with us again. This
time he is to be found In Three
Hours to KILL" a sort of West
ern whodunit which took over
the screens Of the Metropolitan
and Ambassador theaters yes
terday. The title. as you prob
ably can guess without any
coaching from the audience. is
a quite literal one. It refers to
the time the hero is given to
clear his name.
Dana Andrews Is the man bent
upon killing some one to prove he
isn't a killer in the Technicolor
feature made for Columbia by
Producer Harry Joe Brown. Three
years earlier he had been hap
PLY preparing to wed a flower
of the Old West Donna Reed
when her brother objected. He
objected with some cogency and
Andrews man was lying there
unconscious when somebody
plugged brother. The towns
people rushed out and found An
drews standing there holding
the gun, trying to figure out
what had happened. In no time
at all the mob had a rope around
Andrews neck and the syca-
more. tree was about to be deco
rated with some strange fruit. He
got away just in time. but only
barely.
Now, as he rides into "Three
Hours to Kill" he is a man with |
an ugly scar on his neck and an
uglier one on his mind. He
hates everybody within the town
limits and he is determined to
uncover that murderer so he can /
stop running. There is not much
doubt about the ultimate out
come, but Director Alfred |
Worker has made himself sus-
penseful movie yarn.
Done somewhat in the High
Noon" tradition, Three Hours
to Kill" is off-beat just enough
to be more diverting than the
stock Westerns. Richard Alan
Simmons and Roy Higgins. who
adapted the story by Alex Gott-
lieb. have been a bit obvious in
making their point about mob
psychology. but for the most
part it's a well-constructed I
movie. Director Worker has
given 1t enough rough-and-
tumble action to satisfy the ad-
diets of that sort of thing. too.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-03

iauntingly. They are a couple
which apparently is obsessed
with the idea that life is mere
motion. It is not an idea toward
which it is easy to feel sympathy,
nor even to keep up with as it
leads from bistro to ballroom,
from a bench in the Bots to
bursting headache in the
morning.
There is no gain saying that the
script by the Epsteins, Philip
and Julius. retouched by Director
Brooks, represents the reckless
lovers as high spirited. From
their first kiss as complete
strangers in Paris understand
able liberation hinge, they come
to a complete stop only at such
times as they pass out. But the
rry-go-round they ride leads
them to marriage, parenthood of
an attractive child, who often
sleeps above the couples favorite
bar. to Jail, from elegant poverty
to overnight riches, and finally
to the attractively unfamiliar
arms of other lovers.
It is the child, Fitzgerald adj
n1irers will remember, which
brings the father back to Paris
after the wife is dead, the party
is long over, and only the bitter
memory fingers on.
X II v II
The character who energies
most ingratiatingly from this
dizzy whirl is one of the sub
principals played solidly by Wal
ter Pidgeon. His roleNis that of
father of the hayward bride. No
such girl ever had a more way
ward father, an unregenerate,
middle-aged playboy who has
learned to live with the conse-
quences of his misbehaviour.
It is he who provides "The
Last Time ! Saw Paris" with its
comic relief from the tensions
of the basic love affair.
Another, and if it Is not tact
less to sayso, and surprisingly
useful performer is Eva Gabor,
the .soae whose name does, not
require a critic to reach for
his z. Miss Gabor is cast as
a lethal blond who makes a ca |
reer of discarding husbands. She
is an entirely plausible diversion
for the hero when he seeks es- |
cape from his disappointments |
as a novelist and his boredom |
with fishing his wife out of jail
after the Paris police have flshed |
her out of public fountains.
AS the young wife whose fate
it is to die before the long party |
ends, Miss Taylor is as alluring
as any one could ask. And, of |
course, Van johnson makes an
acceptable looking hero of what |
might be a sequel to another
Paris picture, Little Boy Lost"
This one to be sure is the big !
boy version.

The United States and it's
European allies soonp will sign
agreements under which allied
military authorities will receive
secret information on the use
and effects of atomic weapons.
The agreements win aim to
make sure that the military es-
tablishments of the North At
lantic Treaty countries which get
such information will not let it
leak to Russia or any other
country.
Negotiation Of the agreements
has been under way for several
months through the agencies of
the Atlantic Alliance organiza-
ton. They are part of the broad
American program for making
atomic weapons an integral part
of the defense system protecting
western European countries
against possible Soviet attack.
Called Essential.
In Paris Friday. the NATO
council decided that atomic
weapons should have the role in
defense planning and prepara-
tions which the United States.
together with Britain and
France, believed essential If the
defense system is to be adequate
to block any Soviet attempt to
overrun the Western countries.
Authorities said yesterday the
United States will contribute to
the new atomic defense system,
once all the parts are In place,
in three ways:
/. Through the operations Of
the Strategic Air Command,
which is the chief arm whereby
American striking power could
hit directly against the Soviet
Union In case Of war. This Is
the instrument Of what Secre-
tary Dulles has called American
capacity for massive retalia-
ton"
2. BY attaching to the NATO
military forces in Europe Ameri-
can special weapons teams
trained In the handling Of tacti-
cal atomic weapons. such as
small A-bombs or rockets with
atomic warheads. These could be
used against enemy troops in
the field.
3. BY providing allied military
leaders with information on the
use. size and power Of atomic
weapons and on what the United
States has found out about
methods Of defense against
them.
Information Authorized.
Under O law which relaxed
many of the secrecy provisions
of earlier atomic energy legisla-
ton, Congress last session au-
thorized the President to give in
formation to American allies in
Europe. But it enjoined him to
make certain that the secrets
are fully safeguarded from any
potential enemy.
No provision was made in that
law for actually turning over
weapons to the armies of other
countries. Nor do military au-
thorities, at least at this stage,
consider that necessary. Amer
lean, British and French leaders
did feel it was vitality important,
for the governing coun-
ell of the whole alliance to make
D basic decision on use Of atomic
in European defense
planning.
American informants said this
does not necessarily mean that
atomic weapons will be automa-
tically used In any war In Eu-
rope. Theoretically there could
De q small war such as that which
was fought in Korea or a few |
years earlier in Greece.
Every Possible Weapon.
But the assumption of military
leaders here since the cold war
began has been that q war in
volving the use of Communist |
forces against any area in West
ern Europe, would be an all-out |
war with every possible weapon |
used. Little support Is to be
found in high quarters here for
the idea that there might be
general war in Europe which
