The situation gags about the plumbing and the beach, blonde, about the TV-dedicated young son and luggage are. however, repeated until their amusement drains off. James Stewart as a Mr Hobbs, who has a dash of Walter Mitty in his make-off, carries the film with benign absorption; and, among the family which crowds his house, the most likable is young Lauri Peters, a shining-faced girl.

Maureen O'Hara, as a Mrs Hobbs who wants to "communicate" with her married daughters, their husbands, and their children, is more than a little arch. The film, incidentally, presents Fabian as the fishing-toothed boy who pairs ofl with young Miss Hobbs, and, in a burst of chivalry, gives her Bobby Darin records. (Century.)

He has shown, however, a remarkable talent for choosing his great roster of players and makes Paul Traat Ehcftkettaa NEW YORK STAR rr "The Unfaithfuls newman an actor again (Paris). "Paris Blues" States to battle for their Negro cause; Joanne, a frankly greedy divorcee, just wants Paul Newman for herself and her American small town.

This dreary petticoat-government theme takes the romance from a film which has the most romantic incidentals including a laughing, beguiling and vigorous partnership by Poitier and Miss Caroll. Paul Newman simply skates through the product on sulky charm and Miis Woodward is a suitable partner. Director Martin Rilf has more success with his minor characters (like Serge Regei-anfs guitarist) than with this pair. The dialogue is, however, often as pungent as the details of the world of jazz, inside the larger world of Paris recorded superbly in black-and-white by Christian Manas. (Regent.) "Mr Hobbs Tekes A Vccafion" ALL the slatternly grace of Paris in the winter: and all the magic of Duke Ellington's music score (with an interlude bv Louis Arm strong) is lavished upon a story that holds more nxiety than appeal.

The story makes both women the victims of Pierre Cressoy's coarsely handsome blackmailer; but it is May who gives him away to their husbands, to the police and to his rightful end from the noblest motives.
