Bob and Paul, Quite the Pair!

 The following article appeared in the June, 1955 issue of Focus magazine. The Desperate Hours earned our Mr. Montgomery a Tony Award for Direction, a well-earned distinction.  It starred Karl Malden and Nancy Coleman with rising star Paul Newman as one of three escaped convicts who take over a household.  The article is about Newman, calling him the new Brando.  

What I like about it is the photo of Bob and Newman.  51-year-old Bob and 31-year-old Paul did not get along.  Certainly not surprising.  I think the photo below captures their relationship perfectly.
