Hurtling his Cadillac down a serpentine road outside Munich, heavy-footed Cinemactor Horst Buchholz, 27, unwillingly dubbed "the Teutonic James Dean," careened out of control and wrapped the white convertible around a tree. Thrown free and found crawling with one hand to his stomach, the blood-smeared star of Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (which was just 2½ shooting days from completion) was carted to Munich University Clinic, where emergency surgery repaired serious abdominal injuries. Next morning, relieved to hear that his promising property would be back before the cameras by mid-October and with nary...
...writing is often crude, and Phil (The Secret Way) Karlson's direction is sometimes downright amateur. He repeatedly misplaces his camera and clumsily misdirects his actors. He cannot rattle Actor March, who after a career of 33 years and 65 films stands almost without rival as a creative cinemactor. But the director thoroughly demoralizes Actor Gazzara-at best a humorless performer, he seems in this role to think of himself as a sort of galling Dr. Killjoy.

Architect William Beckett agrees. "My clients put fantastic emphasis on their bathrooms," he says. "They know it's the most expensive room in the house, and they want to show their friends where their money went." For Cinemactor Charlton (BenHur) Heston, Beckett designed a bathroom with a huge sunken Roman tub, dressing rooms, steam room, and a small outdoor gymnasium.

With Mister Sam and Bob Kennedy contributing $1,000 apiece, and other fund raisers (among them: Cinemactor Gary Cooper, who starred in the 1941 film biography that brought about the veteran's tax bind) pitching in, the drive shot over the top last week. Sergeant York will be hounded no more...
...Rome's Via Veneto, the night was gay with lights and pink azaleas in curbside tubs. At a sidewalk cafe, Ivan Kro-scenko, 31. a man in a black leather jacket, sipped espresso and cased the pedestrian traffic with a predatory eye. A bearded giant strode past: Cinemactor Steve ("Hercules") Reeves. "Mr. Universe," sneered Kroscenko softly. "So who cares?" He was after bigger game. "Linda Christian. Ava Gardner, Anita Ekberg. Jayne Mansfield." he rolled the names lovingly across his tongue. "They are important people. They make trouble." Kroscenko rose, slung the strap of his Rolleicord camera over a shoulder...
