...Sean Connery, who divides his time. In every other film he makes, he is Ian Fleming's Secret Agent James Bond (Dr. No, From Russia with Love). Now working in Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie, he is playing a company owner who tries to cure a pretty kleptomaniac (Tippi Hedren) and woos her as well...

...McKelvie camp (named Tippi Winnie Kaska [House Beau-tiful]) the President permitted photographers to make pictures of him fishing. It was the first time the President had permitted picturization of his piscatorial accomplishments. A previous storm had disturbed the waters; the President caught no fish...
