CINEMA: Time Listings, Sep. 26, 1960

Let's Make Love. Marilyn Monroe does a seismic shimmy, sings My Heart Belongs to Daddy, and carries on with Singer Yves Montand, but despite their efforts, the show is not really good low humor; it is merely good-humored.

The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. In this light, effective drama about an Oklahoma harness salesman's troubles, Robert Preston runs away with the show in a direction that Playwright William Inge may not have intended in the original.

Day of the Painter. A waggish, 15-minute tale about the wondrous 'work habits of a dribble-and-splotch painter

Under Ten Flags. Captain Bligh roars again, as Charles Laughton takes the part of a World War II British admiral, and Van Heflm plays the captain of a German raiding ship that Laughton tries to track down. An acceptable sea chase.

The End of Innocence. A shadowed subtle film about the painful adolescence of a young girl, directed by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, a Swedish-descended Argentine who knows his Bergman.

Ocean's 11. This laughing gasser about an attempt by Frank Sinatra and his lout troupe (Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford et al.) to rob five Las Vegas casinos is slapdash slapstick, but that's the way the kookies rumble.

Jungle Cat. The music is annoying and the narration not especially informative but superb wildlife photography makes this film by Walt Disney about jaguars in the Amazon rain forest a pleasure to see.

Elmer Gantry. Burt Lancaster turns in one of the best performances of his career as Sinclair Lewis' Bible-banging, skirt-chasing evangelist.
