All this has been happening during his engagement in "Lust for Life," the Van Gogh story which MGM is making in France.

SCIIEUER "The Shrike," Pulitzer Prize play of 1952, emerges on the screen as a curious combination of theatrical and documentary movie techniques. Jose Ferrer, who directed the play and took the lead in it, does the same in the film. In so doing Ferrer acquiesced to changes by Script Writer Ketti Frings that have subtly altered the Joseph Kramm original; and people who saw the original are of the opinion that the changes are not for the better. The Universal-International picture, now at the Stanley-Warner Beverly Hills Theater, incorporates flashbacks that were not in the play, is less terrifyingly violent and claustrophobic and, perhaps most surprisingly of all, tacks on a compromise ending. Nevertheless, regular fans should find it arrestingly offbeat and finally touchingif less than downright moving.

Emotional Sollapse What redeems the work dramatically are two scenes in which the male star, Ferrer, breaks emotionally and bows to the inevitable. It is the only way he can get out of the psycho ward in the New York hospital to which he has been committed, following a suicide attempt. He is released in the custody of the shrike of a wife (June Allysoft) who was shows but also telling him how he should direct them. It was the husband himself who likened her to the shrike WEEK!
