Grj.T Millar Join. smi r't-relli stan A. lams M.j liiny Hftbi 03 P3 PS TV is becoming a constant source of material for screen dramas. Some of the top films of recent years have been adaptations of television plays. The latest to reach the screen, J.t.

I-nni- TTni'-flf Km Opl't'nt nt uf t'l; Julie Harris and Anthony Quinn to the film as Mountain's trainer and watchdog: who battles, in bis quiet way, to keep Maish from selling- Mountain to a promotor of phony wrestling matches. Mis Harris plavs her part convincing- ly. Madame Spivy, Stan Adams to help him completely understandable. JACKIE GLEASOX proves "Requiem For a Heavyweight," is Rod Serling's drama about a beaten-up prize-fighter whose manager is told by the official medico of the sport that his boy must quit the ring. Maish Rennick then schemes to put Mountain Rivera into the wrestling racket so that he may earn beer and yit-tles for himself, his trainer and Maish.

"REQUIEM" HAD its first showings at the Criterion and Kips Bay Theatres last night. The latter house, a 550 seater situated at Second Ave. and Kips Bay Plaza, opened its doors to the public for the first time last night. The film was produced by David Susskind for Columbia Pictures and co-stars Anthony Quinn, as Mountain, Jackie Glea-son as Maish, Mickey Rooney, representing the big fellow's little trainer and devoted friend, and Julie Harris in the role of a welfare worker who tries to get the ex-fighter employment as an athletic director for a boys' camp. THEY ALL LEND an emotional quality to the action that quickens the pulse of the audience.

A number of famous real-life prizefighters appear briefly in the film as themselves, including Jack Dempsey and Barney Ross, lending authenticity to the story. Ralph Nelson, who won an Emmy Award for his direction of "Requiem" on television, is mak- that he is an actor of consider- niilo vprcfl till TV nc Vti r. irt ria iri 1 and Herbie Fave also add to the ing an auspicious film debut as director of the Susskind production, as he brings out Mountain's story with compassionate consideration of the fighter, both as a professional of the ring and as a man. Although in the beatings he's sustained. Mountain seems like an ape than a human being, Quinn has injected an appealing quality into the fellow that makes Grace Miller's desire of the fiphter's canny manager mtic, quality of the action.

The dark mood of the storv is is entirely different from his maintained throughout with no "Gigot" or the smooth pool-shoot- relief from the sordid background er of "The Hustler." Mickey of a fifth-rate fighter's life out-Rooney adds a distinctive touch 1 side the ring. MATINEE TODAY AT 2:30 TONIGHT AT 8:30 SEATS NOW AT BOX CFflCE VERY SUPERIOR ENTERTAINMENT! TREMENDOUS POWER!
