Gasping for breath, unable to eat or sleep, the 60-year-old man lay in a Scottish hospital moaning: "The end is near. The end is near." Doctors agreed; the patient was suffering from an intense, intractable form of bronchial asthma in which the contractions of the bronchial tubes become almost continuous and the lungs are starved for air. Antibiotics, Adrenalin, steroid hormones and oxygen had been given without effect. Finally, the University of Aberdeen's Dr. A. H. C. Sinclair-Gieben took over. His specialty: hypnosis...
...story goes knocking along like a southerly buster through some bloody-awful bush between Nimmitabel and Jindabyne. Mitchum and Kerr sometimes sound like Aussies-come-lately, but on the whole they manage the loose-elbowed looks and snarly charm of the permanent residents. Peter Ustinov, playing an unmarried remittance man who has to beat the girls off with a waddy, makes a comical old dag. But when it comes to stealing scenes, the actors often have to give way to the dingoes, the wombats, and especially to the endless flocks of sheep that drift across the screen like clouds with...
Taken as a whole, Exodus is a terrific show. Director Preminger (The Man with the Golden Arm, Anatomy of a Murder) is at the top of his form in every department. Cinematography and cutting are impeccable, and the actors are masterfully maneuvered.

Ironically, the script is bringing Hollywood embarrassment as well as riches. It is the work of a well-known...
...Man Write My Epitaph (Columbia). The heroine (Shelley Winters) is on heroin. "Louie, please!" she gasps. "I need a fix! Ya gotta gimme a fix!" In this picture, unhappily, the story as well as the heroine needs a shot in the arm. Based on Novelist Willard Motley's sequel to Knock on Any Door (TIME, March 14, 1949), which made a substantial score as a Hollywood thriller, Epitaph is just a scummy rescrape of the sidewalks of Chicago...
Larry Rivers, 37, is a wiry, slightly hipsterish man, who finds it almost impossible to sit still for long. "I get bored easily," says he, but the boredom has paid off handsomely. To keep himself interested, he has never stopped experimenting, and his paintings have managed to arouse the admiration of figurative and abstract partisans alike. They command up to $15,000, and in Manhattan hang in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney and the Metropolitan. Last week 15 of his latest paintings were on view at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery, proving that the restless Rivers just keeps...
