nondescript title a Texas-set film creation of the producing team of Martin Ritt and Irving Ra-vetch which opened here Thursday Is taut and absorbing screen fare But let me hoist a warning signal immediately This one is for adults and the older teenagers only Its dialogue and situations are entirely too gamey for the tots The screen play by co-Pro-ducer Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr sacrifices no four-lettered word to endow the story with absolute honesty Neal as their housekeeper who has been abandoned by a gam' bler-husband and la inwardly trying to fend off an attraction to another disaster in the form of Hud The story Is a depressing one but so well told and act' ed that it transcends its emotional murkiness to make It completly fascinating to watch The movie is currently on

be better to divert the moppets to less mature entertainment based on Larry novel Pass (and I wonder why they stick with that title) of a triangular conflict between a grizzled old Texas rancher his son and grandson played respectively by Melvyn Douglas Paul Newman and Brandon de Wilde Its motivation Is nothing more than the choice between good and evil The boy Is tom between his equal devotion to the gruffly honest grandfather and the unprincipled hell-raiser his uncle The outcome hinges on what choice the maturing teenager will make whether to live by his set of homely virtues or to

was danger here that Newman as the uncle Hud Bannon had simply been given another vehicle to portray what has almost become his specialty as an actor the outwardly hard but Inwardly soft son to the exclusion of other dra-matio value The tendency has been controlled by a well balanced script and the skillfully managed Inter-relationship of Its characters The focus Is on a quartet of people rather than a single one No small credit for the atmosphere Find realism of the story should go to the flat dusty Texas setting with its converging canopy of cloud-dappled sky James Wong have captured it all with spell-binding effectiveness Newman gives his role all the animal megnetlsm it calls for Douglas splendidly underplays the unhappy grandfather Young de Wilde now grown to tall slenderness
