Y CARMODY

<kAASANAODA
If "The Shrike" which opened
yesterday at the Trans-Lux is
not the most talked of movie OF
the late summer. its producers
are going to be vastly disap-
pointed.
. True, there have been poison
ously posSessive wives on the
screen before, but few as young,
attractive and deadly as June
Allyson here. Moreover. this is
the first time any dramatist
ever dared call such a woman a
"shrike." which means a needle
beaked small bird that hope
lesSly impales its victims.
AS a play two seasons ago,
THE Shrike" won a Pulitzer
prize. 1t was played and directed
then by Jose Ferrer and that he
repeats both functions in the
f1lm assures its retention of the
original flavor. Mr.. Ferrer, as
no one should need to be told, is
a smart drama maker. Taking
advantage of the cameras
greater scope. he has enlarged
the action Of Joseph Kramm's
play. 1t is a rewarding move that
works to nullify the effect of a
happy ending which the original
drama avoided.
1t is q powerfully dramatic
situation on which the marriage
of Ferrer and Miss Allyson turns
in THE Shrike."
The story opens on his at
tempted suicide which lands his
ebbing life in the hands of the
psychiatric staff of a public hos
pital. They save 1t. but as he
quickly learns, for a fate worse
than death.
Now he is completely in the
clutches of his shrikeish wife.
He. the finely tuned, brilliant
young play director, is a mental
case, confined with New York's
derelicts. This is horrifying
enough, but what is worse is
his discovery that his one ave-
nue. of escape is to be released
in the custody of the wife who
brought him to this condition.
As marital relationships go,
especially in an age of anxiety,
this is one to freeze the blood.
Ferrer saw that it did so on
Broadway, returns enthusiastic
cally to repeating the effect on
the screen. His portrait of the
shattered genius husband at the
mercy Of a cold-hearted psychi-
atric staff and a ward full Of
hot-headed homicides is a tour
de force.
For Miss Allyson, the shrike
role Is a startling change of
pace from her ideal wife charac-
ters. She may miss the man
eating intensity with which Ju-
.dith Evelyn played the same
part on Broadway. but she con-
veYs a startling impression of
the cruelty potential in the most
innocent looking mates.
AS domestic relations go, "The
|Shrike's" version is one to leave
the spine tingling in spite of
that impliedly happy ending.
For its full impact, the Trans
Lux film demands some harrow
ing subordinate portraits of the
.hero's doctors, attendants and
fellow patients. They are all
there. precisely as required.

Love that asserts its claims

lence Is promising dramatic
material. The promise is kept
In Love Is a Many-Splendorec
Thing" new screen attraction
at the Palace Theater.
The film starring William
Holden and Jennifer Jones is
based, of course, upon Han
Suyin's recent best seller novel
Twentieth Century-Fox has done
no violence to the authors
captivating title by adding the
first two words in the label or
the film. Nor has it failed to
catch sufficient of the touching
poignance of the narrative to
assure the story of popularity
In its new form.
In color and CinemaScope,
this form is especially vivid. Its
setting is Hong Kong. the most
touchy of the East-West cross
roads, and q landscape full OF
eerie splendors of it's own.
1t takes two special humans
to make a love affair as uncon-
ventional as this one and Of
the two involved. Miss Jones is
the more arresting figure. She
plays the Eurasian girl who falls
in love with Holden's foreign
correspondent. Her manner OF
playing it, under Henry Kings
direction, seeks out splendors
that are not apparent on
the surface OF this unapproved
affair and that ask no mercy
when it ends tragically.
Miss Jones' heroine is a far
more complex creature than
Holden's. 1t is she who CANDLES
the unshakeable pride of a SEN
sitive, educated outcast that
East and West can achieve at
least a personal understanding.
That she makes the portrait of
Han Suyin so moving is the
major merit of Love Is q Many
Splendored Thing"
The action of the Palaces
romance is not the surface sort
that makes a movie move. 1t is
internal, q search of hearts for
the perils of race prejudice. of
the risks that pride is willing to
take. of the courage to face in
evitable social consequences.
The original novel faced up to
these with a high heart and
John Patrick ("Teahouse Of the
August Moon") does matching
job in the screenplay.
Neither he, Director King.
nor the principals is able
to conceal the fact that the sub
ordinate characters in the pic
ture are rather dreary stereo-
types. The latter. however, are
permitted to intrude into the
story only to the exten that they
are indispensable.
The burden of its drama is
carried by Miss Jones and Hol-
den. They do it affectingly
enough to assure Love Is a
Many -Splendored Thing" Of a
splendid boxoffice.

endorsed for reelection for another

base through legislative action.
