...implies, that are being turned out by the M.P.A.A. members that hired him but rather those of the creative cinema of postwar Italy, the New Wave in France and now England. "The next creative center," he concludes, "will be here. We are educating an audience that will not accept the ordinary. We want the world to look at America and say, 'By golly, those Americans are really doing something...
...conquers. The girl, a nice dumb redhead (Julie Sommars) who talks as if she thinks Bach comes in bottles, tempts Ted to prove the one thing he is never really sure of: his virility. To ease his fear, he betrays his friend, but poor bumbling Bob refuses to accept betrayal.

That 4.97%-a-year boost shattered what little was left of the President's 3.2%-a-year guideposts for restraining wage and price increases in the inflation-threatened U.S. economy. More ominously, the settlement opened wide the gate for other unions with 2,250,000 workers, including those in such key industries as electrical equipment, autos, trucking, clothing...
