The film has its brutal
moments because it has some
thing to say about both mental
and physical horrors of war. 1t
would be less effective without
them and it never shocks for
the sake of shock alone. It's
a well-made movie and all con-
cerned can take pride in it.

Aim he employs TO tell his
multi-faceted story. He fingers
overlong with a scene here and
there. but not often and his
movie passes the supreme test
that not all OF these blockbuster
films pass. II doesn't seem to

Mr.. Dmytryk, in fact, along
with Edward Anhalt, who
adapted the novel, would have
deserved commentator merely
for keeping the far-tlung char
acters and intertwined plots
and sub-plotS in order.
For one thing The Young
Lions" does not have is SIM
plicity. 1t deals principally with
the lives of three men touched
by war-a Nazi officer and two
American draftees. 1t examines
less closely the effect Of war on
a vast catalog Of others. 1t
leaps all over the map-from
Germany to New York TO Paris
to training camp in the
United States to North Africa
TO Berlin and so on and on.
Scattering it over this vast
landscape does not dilute the
films dramatic punch. Vir-
tually every sequence deals with
personal drama that has its
own impact and still is woven
into the larger whole.
Much of Mr.. Dmytryk's sue
cess in keeping his vast COM
pick OF narratives in focus rests
with the players involved. The
Young Lions" is a well-acted
film from top to bottom of its
cast. Even Dean Martin and
Montgo cry Cliff come
through as individual persons,
not personalities.
Martin plays a Broadway
singer who does his unsucceSs-
full best to Illustrate his draft
board, which feels that he
would look just fine in a set of
Army fatigues. Cliff is young
Jewish inductee drafted at the
same time, who suffers consid-
cradle persecution. marries the
nice girl played most becom-
ingly by Hope Lange. and turns
out to be quite a soldier.
Marion Brando. with hair

plays the young Nazi officer
who starts out as one of the
Supermen saving the world and
winds up face down in the mud
of it. 1t is a most convincing
performance as his doubts grow
while he meets a German-hat-
ing French girl and sees more
and more of the futility and
brutality of war.
There has been. incidentally.
some alteration in the lives of
these three during the tranSla-

Martin in it arrives. Filled
with horror. he smashes his
automatic rife and stumbles
down a hillside to be shot by
Martin.
1t does not lessen the impact
Of The Young Lions" a bit
TO let the young Jewish soldier

Two PubIos
Examined at
PLAYHOUSE

Camera studies OF pair OF
Pablos probably will be excit-
ing fare to some, but certainly
should be engroSsing to all
who look in on the current
double bill at the Playhouse.
The Mystery of Please" at
tempts to probe the mind Of
the famous painter at work by
following the artists brush
strokes as he creates a variety
of pictures, ranging from nude
to bull fight to still life. The
second film deals with the
artistry of Casals on the cello.
PicaSso himself appears only
briefly. His paintings do most
of the talking. and they are
expressive as they capture the
artists moods, use of colorS
and the many changes that
are made in his work until ne
finally settles on the effect he
is searching for.
Created by Henri-Georges
ClouZot, who also appears
briefly In an exchange of con-
versation with PicasSo, the film
photographs through glass to
show only the paintings taking
form. while the artist Is hidden
from view.
Particularly effective is the
technique Of starting with
black and white sketches, then
ranging to more complex color
works and finally expanding
from the normal screen into the
vide CinemaScope version when
Plcasso mentions that he needs
a large canvas.
One aspect found to be dis
turbing was that this viewer
frequently wished, as tn e
paintings unfolded before his
eyes, that Picasso had quit
about halfway through. Many
times the later embellishments
he added seemed to clutter up
the canvas and make the fin
ished product appear too busy.
"A Visit With Pablo Casals"
is set in the small French viii
lage of PradeS, which is now
the home of the great Spanish
.cellist. Produced and directed
by Robert Snyder, the half
hour film is pleasant study
of the master as he is greeted
by his fellow villagers during a
stroll, as he teaches an Amer
lean girl and as he visits the
Monastery Of st. Michel De
Cuxa.
At the monastery. one Of his
