REVIEW DUE LATER Mote, however, about the movie itself at a later date when it opens at the Roxie for an indefinite engagement The Fox-Wilshire's relatively small lobby made it possible for stars attending the show to bask in a concentrated spotlight. Among those greeted with wild displays of enthusiasm were Jeff Hunter, Shirley MacLaine, Gregory Peck, Aldo Ray (squiring sack-costumed, very red-haired, Tina Louise) Edward G. Robinson, Jeff Chandler, Shelley Winters, Russ Tamblyn, Sessue Haya kawa, Anthony Quinn, Doro thy Malone, Sammy Davis Jr, and too many others to mention in this short space.
