...small Swiss town in the 1820s; his mother is the educated daughter of a pastor, and his father is a peasant who, through great ability and energy, has become a master builder. The father is the embodiment of the century's early surge of humanism; a fearless and optimistic man who taught himself architecture, and who leads his fellow townsmen in the building of schools and the forming of dramatic societies. He dies while Henry is still young, and his widow cuts up his green military uniform to make a suit for the boy. From then on, green...
Brazil. Despite inflationary troubles, still the strongest Latin American nation and most resistant to propaganda from Cuba. What little admiration Brazilians feel for Castro arises mostly out of the Cuban dictator's role as a fearless tweaker of Uncle Sam's nose-a role that President-elect Jânio Quadros appropriated last week by ignoring the invitation of President Eisenhower and refusing the invitation of President-elect Kennedy to visit...
...Fearless & Merciless. Bobby has had far better luck in his crash program to register new voters. "The Democrats are there," he says, "and if we are going to win this election, we just have to reach them." As director of the program, Jack Kennedy selected his friend, Representative Frank ("Fearless") Thompson Jr., a handsome, hard-driving New Jersey Congressman who matches Bobby's own energy and relentless single-mindedness. Working around the clock and country, Frank Thompson has spent $100,000 on the program, recruiting 200,000 door-to-door canvassers to goad laggard voters into the registration centers...
This is a brilliant theme, and it leaves you with the same empty and puzzled feeling that Boulle's The Bridge on the River Kwai produced. But there are many things wrong with this play. The deputy seemingly turns from a fearless cynic to a jellyfish with startling rapidity, but his about-face is nothing compared to the prosecutor's. At the end of Act II, Poole is battling with a troubled conscience and trying to lead investigators away from evidence that tends to indict young Harold Rutland (played by George Grizzard). Soon after the beginning of Act III, however...
...Young Men (Hall Bartlett; Columbia) expertly blends two traditions rich in cinematic cliche-the war movie and the fearless-denunciation-of-race-bigotry movie. Sidney Poitier, an accomplished actor so discriminated against because of his color that he will probably never be allowed to play a character who is not strong, sensitive and noble, is a Marine sergeant whose unit is chopped to pieces during a Korean war skirmish. The only officer dies, and Poitier takes over, despite a near mutiny by Paul Richards, a race-baiter who calls him "night-fighter." and Alan Ladd, a surly type...
