CURRENT & CHOICE

Don't Go Near the Water. A daffy piece of South Pacifiction, based on William Brinkley's novel about some officers and men engaged in the Navy's public relations--and their own private affairs (TIME, Nov. 25).

Gervaise. Emile Zola's L'Assommoir, a vast cry of rage at man's fate, diminished by French taste into a touching story of a woman's ruin; with Maria Schell (TIME. Nov. 18).

Pal Joey. A mildly anemic version of the full-blooded Broadway musical--with Frank Sinatra supplying a strong jolt of the glamour vitamin (TIME, Oct. 28).

Les Girls. The most stylish movie musical of the year; with Kay Kendall, the most stylish comedienne the British have turned up in 30 years (TIME, Oct. 14).

A Visit with Pablo Casals. A great cellist filling the screen with the tranquil luminosity of a mature art (TiME, Oct. 7).

The Pajama Game. A bouncy musical about congenial labor-management strife in a nightwear factory; with John Raitt and Doris Day (TIME, Sept. 9).
