Hollywood's New Breed of Soft Young Men

This is an article from 1962 talking about the new standard for male actors in Hollywood. According to the article the standards are being greatly lowered because of the need for actors fast. They are less trained and less mature. In fact, the cathphrase at the top of the article says, "The movie's frantic search for young stars with snap, crackle,and pop may he ushering in a new era of slop, cackle and pap." In 1962 Hollywood's leading men were beginning to lose the suave class of actors like Bogart,Cable, and Cooper. The article then goes on to give mini biographies of a few of the leading men at the time.
