CURRENT & CHOICE
Twelve Angry Men. A thriller of ideas in which the right to trial (and error) by jury is cleverly cross-examined by Scriptwriter Reginald Rose, Actor Henry Fonda (TIME. April 29).
The Strange One. Calder Willingham's novel (End As a Man) about a Southern military academy makes a slick, sadistic thriller--a slashing good cinema debut for Actor Ben Gazzara (TIME, April 22).
Men in War. Director Anthony Mann and his camera tell a modest story of the Korean war with an intimate intensity that makes every theater seat feel like a foxhole; with Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray (TIME, April 8).
Fear Strikes Out. Psychiatry has a red-hot inning in this film biography of Red Sox Outfielder Jim Piersall, and 25-year-old Actor Anthony Perkins scores in the title role (TIME, March 18).
The Spirit of St. Louis. New York to Paris with Charles A. Lindbergh; Director Billy Wilder and Actor James Stewart make a good film about a great adventure (TIME, March 4).
