Artists and Models
I have enough affection for everyone involved to find this north of tolerable, but there's no question <PERSON> needed to ditch <PERSON> to reach the artistic heights he achieved in the early '60s. I don't see this as a major work for <PERSON> either because the <PERSON>-and-<PERSON> formula hemmed him in quite a bit. 83
The <PERSON> and <PERSON> vehicles were essentially for children; <PERSON>'s self-directed films, though he continued to play a manchild, were far more adult in nature. Unlike other old prints shown on this Technicolor weekend, this print seemed to have lost some of its lustre and settled into a brownish haze. On the plus side, the songs are actually better than they needed to be. 252
