Shock Tactics
The caveman script writers, who believe that the way to* win a girl is to get a hammer hold on her, are going strong again in Hollywood. Tyrone Power gi;abbed Gene Tierney by the ankle, threw her flat on the floor, and pinned her shoulders to the mat for “That Wonderful Urge.” He wouldn’t let her up until she ■ had promised to marry him, “M_an Mountain Dean” himself couldn’t have done a better job. At that. Miss Tierney got off easy compared with Anne Baxter- is taking in “Yellow Sky.” Gregory Peck throws her violently on the ground, she claws and fights him, he hits her a couple of times, gets a “Strangler Lewis” hold on her, and manages a kiss. At that point, she realises she loves him. “Love must be changing,” said Peck. “If I had tried these tactics on my wife when we were going together, I’d still be single.”
