A Tribute To Eva Marie Saint — Double Feature:
LOVING, 1970, Columbia (Sony Repertory), 89 min. Dir. Irvin Kershner. Successful illustrator, Brooks (George Segal) gets the approaching-middle- age-blues, and it impacts everyone around him, especially his lovely wife, Selma (Eva Marie Saint) as well as his two daughters and his mistress (Janis Young). With great support from Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn. “"¦in the direction of actors, judgment about scenes, and everything that happens in the camera"¦a fine and gratifying film.” — Roger Greenspun, New York Times.
ALL FALL DOWN, 1962, Warner Bros., 111 min. Dir. John Frankenheimer. “Male enough to attract a dozen women…not man enough to be faithful to one!” Warren Beatty is Berry-Berry, an abusive, ne’er-do-well womanizer and bar-brawler extraordinaire, a guy who will go anywhere and do anything for easy bucks, drinks and a laugh. When his younger brother, Clint (Brandon de Wilde), shows up in Key West to bail him out of jail, a chain of events is set in motion that will bring Berry-Berry back home to Ohio and his dysfunctional parents (Karl Malden and Angela Lansbury). A love affair with a different kind of girl, Echo O’Brien (Eva Marie Saint), seems about to change him for the better — until he finds out a secret from her past. Playwright, William Inge (SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS) ably adapts James Leo Herlihy’s novel. NOT ON VIDEO!
