Deborah Kerr, who has maneuvered some of the hottest screen kisses since Garbo and John Gilbert, says: Movie kisses are so technical, they're like a problem in higher calculus." For example: In her current movie, "An Affair to Remember," she and Cary Grant do two kissing scenes. The first is just a light, tender bussing while dancing.

Sound simple? Diagram for a Kiss "Let me give you the lowdown," Deborah says. "We had to diagram each move mentally. We danced a few turns, gave each other tender glances, alternated singing a line or two. We had to dance cheek-to-cheek, slowly, dreamily; separate while one or the other sang; remember to turn so that Cary's face would be in the camera when he sang or said something, or vice versa; remember that both our faces had to be in camera range for reaction shots. "It's murderous.

I'd much sooner learn 10 pages of dialogueand I know Cary would, too." The beautiful redhead debunks the old-time silent movie theory that the hottest or tenderest smooching scenes come when the leading man and leading woman feel "that way" about each other. "They'd smell up the screen if they did," she laughs. First Kissing Scene That reminded her of her first movie kissing scene in an English' movie. "It smelled literally as well as dramatically," she recalls. "I was playing a slum girl in a movie! called 'Love on the Dole' and I was kissed among the garbage cans'of my slum home.

"Our director was a fiend for' realism and those half-open garbage cans actually contained garbage." Her first American movie kiss with Clark Gable in "The Ruck-i sters" she compared to sewing. "I didn't think of Clark as kissing partner any more than one thinks of the material when you're sewing. You're concentrating on guiding the fabric under the nee-, die to get the seams straight, you don't dwell on the fabric The same with a movie kisseven if it's Gableyou keep your mind on the mechanics of the job so it goes so smoothly, you hope, the illusion of love or passion or tenderness comes through." 81011 NULTY 1111011 LACE 11111.011 11011ELTY LACE ACTION THRILLS IN SLOW MOTION!

Not in the memory of the olaest inhabitant has an actress of any age or staturein this instance she's an untried onereceived such plush, red carpet treatment. From Vice President Edward Muhl on down to the lowliest crew member, no one could have showered her with any more warmth and consideration, agrees Sandra Dee, a pert, tow-headed little model already being billed as 1 the star of "Teach Me flow to Cry." The only person on the set who doesn't seem a bit 'nervous is Sandra herself.

She wonders why all the fuss. After all, she's been around the sophisticated model marts of New York city for several years. As for this starring role it's just another job, she indicates by her every word and mood. "Why, even Mr. Kautner, the director, called me at home the night before the picture began and told me not to worry about anything," Sandra explained in wonderment.

"Then, when I arrived, Mr. Hunter, the producer, was already there to reassure me that he had faith in my ability and that I really had no reason for the jitters. "One by one, every member of the crew dropped by to assure me that it YRS just another day of moviemakingnothing to be upset about. Interoffice notes from various studio executives were delivered to me on the set, all wishing me luck and cautioning me not to worry about a thing." What effect did all of this attention have on Sandra? "Well," she admitted, "I felt sorry that I was making people so nervous. As for myself, I never felt better.

I made up my mind a long time ago that I was capable of playing the mixed-up young girl in this picture." SLIPS MM.

I made the mistake; perhaps I should say psychological mistake, of starting out on triy contract salary.

''Their conclusion seems to be that if they lay out disproportionate sums of money for services they'll get superlative results. This dollar standard hasn't worked out, but they keep on doing it.
