from St. Bede's Church for the Deaf, Clapham
Introduction by Bill Northwood

Each year on 'deaf Sunday' a service for deaf viewers is televised. Such a service contains no music, and although the two Chaplains to the Royal Association in aid of the Deaf and Dumb use signs and gestures, they also speak throughout, and so hearing viewers equally may join in.

The Great Stars of yesterday and today in a season of their most memorable films
[Starring] Robert Mitchum, Shirley MacLaine

A conventional married lawyer finds himself hilariously involved with a highly unconventional young lady while on a business trip to New York.
Shirley Maclaine proves an inspired choice for the twenty-nine-year-old Jewish beatnik. Her versatility as dancer, comedienne, and dramatic actress combine to make a larger-than-life character. She also inspires Mitchum to give one of the most sympathetic performances of his career. His role in Joseph Losey's most recent film, "Secret Ceremony," underlines the fact that he is one of Hollywood's most powerful actors.
