...advantage of Grant himself, a galloping 62 and perfectly cast as the anything-but-tired tycoon. A sort of magnate cum laude, Grant herein relinquishes his customary Romeo role to play Eros by proxy, and no man could play it better. Instead of making passes at his luscious roommate, Samantha Eggar, he sublets half of his half of her apartment to a lanky Olympic race-walker (Jim Mutton) and starts showing the younger generation how one thing can lead to another...
...players in and around greater Tokyo with a perfectly relaxed air. Hutton, a quizzical comic talent packed into a skyscraper frame, hilariously displays a pained embarrassment over his skill as a wiggly-hipped 30-mile walker, and he passes the test as a farceur by keeping pace with Grant. Samantha nips through her first comedy role with such unexpected verve that she will probably be asked to impersonate plucky, romantic dream girls for years to come.

He is the man who is filming The Story of Doctor Dolittle, Hugh Lofting's wry children's classic about the physician who talks to animals, as a $12 million 20th Century-Fox musical extravaganza, starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Tony Newley, and a cast of 1,147 other humans and 1,500 beasts.

Says Mrs. Nan Tresilian, proprietor of an antique shop called the Unicorn Gallery, and a leader in the save-the-village movement: "The people most shocked are the American tourists. They come in here with their hair standing on end, asking...
Before all scores are settled, Samantha discovers who is not who, abhors her demotion to second fiddle in a menage a trois, and quickly improvises a plan to murder her stepmother. Max prefers his own scheme, which is to eliminate both women, leaving himself as Ingrid's sole beneficiary. Ashes departs considerably from the French novel on which it is based, but Director J. Lee Thompson smoothly stretches out the tension of a creepy bathtub sequence, followed by an explosive climax involving a booby-trapped safe. Finally, though, this who'll-do-it must be appreciated chiefly...
