Press Packet for 'A Time for Giving,' 1969
Kim Darby and Pete Duel had to discover each other before they could portray newlyweds in Joseph E. Levine's presentation of the Frederick Brisson production of A Time for Giving, which opens at the Theatre. Until Brisson and Director George Schaefer brought the two young stars together in the contemporary comedy, they had never met, only knowing of the other by name.
"I want the love scenes to reflect the tenderness of Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in Seventh Heaven," explained Schaefer, who is of a generation that remembers. Kim and Pete, who are ... Read More

What's New?
by Eunice Field; TV Radio Mirror, May 1967
Party Lines: Screen Gems had a whale-of-a-gala in Palm Springs! Peter Deuel arrived with his lovely blonde, Jill Andre. While he's been seen about town with other dolls, Jill has been the real love of his life for two years. At the dinner-dance, Jill was a "wowee" in white mini-skirt and white figured stockings. She looked 16, but pointed out, "I'm a divorcee with a girl, 6, and a boy, 4, and I don't claim to have been a child bride."

Press Packet for 'A Time for Giving' (aka 'Generation'), 1969
The hairy problem has finally been settled. There is no scraggly, happy-hippie type beard for Pete Duel as the young anti-Establishment hero of Joseph E. Levine's presentation of the Frederick Brisson production, A Time for Giving, which opens at the Theatre.
Duel showed up for the start of filming of A Time for Giving with a fine sprout of whiskers, but Producer Brisson and Director George Schaefer took one look and ordered him to "Shave it off, shave it all off." They decreed that the rebellious character Duel portrays would be smooth-shaven.
"Walter ... Read More

TV Radio Annual, 1967
Many an actress, when she wrote her autobiography or otherwise was in a mood to tell all, admitted that it was almost impossible to play love scenes with an attractive man without becoming personally involved. So, by all rights, Judy Carne and Peter Deuel should be in love. They are both young, attractive, and neither is otherwise engaged. And certainly on the television screen in Love on a Rooftop they seem made for each other. But on the set, where they are in close contact some twelve hours a day, they spend a good deal of their ...
