the television series Maverick. Wyler broke an unofficial blacklist of the actor by casting him, and Garner steadily appeared in films and television shows over the following decades, including immediately playing leading roles in four different major movies released in 1963: The Great Escape with Steve McQueen, The Thrill of It All with Doris Day, The Wheeler Dealers with Lee Remick, and Move Over, Darling again with box office queen Doris Day. Hayley Mills was originally offered a lead role. Miriam Hopkins, who portrays Lily Mortar in the remake, appeared as Martha in These Three. The film's location shooting was done at the historic Shadow Ranch, in present-day West Hills of the western San Fernando Valley. Reception Bosley Crowther of The New York Times observed: Variety said, "Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine ... beautifully complement each other. Hepburn's soft sensitivity, marvelous projection and emotional understatement result in a memorable portrayal. MacLaine's enactment is almost equally rich in depth and substance." TV Guide rated the film 3½ out of four stars, adding "The performances range from adequate (Balkin's) to exquisite (MacLaine's)." Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 86% rating based on seven critic reviews.
