EMERALP REVIEWS
Sinatra Gives Sparkle
To 'Pal Joey' Musical
BY' JOHN LENGEL
Emerald Entertainment Editor
Frank Sinatra is one of the
hottest items around Filmville
today. Producers realize that
casting Sinatra in any type of
movie spells good box office.
However, everybody concerned
with Columbia's "Pal Joey" gets
together to give its audience the
old "run for their money."
The formula of a subtle and
witty script adapted from the
Broadway musical, plus the mu
sic of Rodgers and Hart, plus
the heads up acting of Sinatra
and Rita Hayworth, minus the
efforts of Kim Novak, provides
viewers with an entertaining
evening.
Sinatra takes the lead as Joey
Evans, a transient singer and
master of ceremonies with a low
slate of morals. His song style
and stage presence add a good
healthy punch to the production.
Big Time Detour
In "Joey” Sinatra trys to
make the big time by moving a
small-time dive in San Fran
cisco's International Settlement
into a swank night club sur
roundings atop the city’s posh
Kiddies leuna

JUNGLE’

Nob Hill. Joey almost makes it
by “using” widowed socialite
Rita Hayworth.
However Miss Hayworth is
nobody's fool, in the script at
least, and calls the whole show
off at the last moment after
seeing through some extracur
ricular activity between pal
Joey, and chorus line anchor,
Kim Novak.
We've seen the ending some
place before. A guy plus a girl
with nothing but love—sup
posedly, is a very trite, shop
worn ending to an otherwise
creditable effort.
Hayworth l’p
Rita Hayworth as the middle
! aged socialite-widow comes
j through with an unexpected pol
j ished performance. It's nice to
see Hayworth out of the stereo
typed, pedestrian roles that dot
her casting record.
Saint Better
Kim Novak slinks through her
part as chorus bumper with the
presence and grace of a horse.
In a vocal, "My Funny Valen
| tine,” Novak glassily stares
through a hollowed stage prop.
' murdering the lyrics with no
1 quarter granted. This was a mis
j cast. The role could have been
handled much better by screen
favorite Eva Marie Saint.
The film is shot for the most
part in San Francisco. Techni
color and imagination on the
part of the camerman capture
the city's charm. His use of in
teresting camera angles com
bined with some pleasant light
ing effects, give the film an
added gloss that many recent
films lack.
