...very interesting past. Barbara Rush plays his slightly tarnished True Love with typical feminine capriciousness. Ginger Rogers is very funny indeed as the wife who regularly pours out her troubles to her psychoanalyst, and she is more than matched by Dan Dailey's portrayal of her actor-husband. Tony Randall clowns through the film with just the right amount of buffoonery as a slightly screwy patient whom the doctor discovers has had an affair with his fiancee. Mr. Randall has a wonderful sense of comic gesture and expression...
...portrayed by Actor O'Brian, 31, onetime Marine drill instructor, Wyatt Earp now rides herd on the youngsters, makes them eat their cereal (Cheerios) and brush their teeth (with Gleem). His impeccable dress-frock coat, striped pants, silk vest, black sombrero-is a good example for the junior blue-jeans set ("Mothers love me"). Western buffs approve of his resemblance to the real Earp (though he omits the handlebar mustache) and his ability to handle such firearms as Earp's long-barreled Buntline Special with authentic eélan-he is perhaps the only regular Western type...
...collection was the personal triumph as well as the joy of Actor Robinson, who as a boy had been an ardent collector of cigar bands, had moved on to oils 25 years ago (after Little Caesar), when his Hollywood salary jumped from $1,000 to $7,000 a week.

When the collection became notable, Robinson opened his Hollywood home...
...joking and the hoking do not seriously impair the moviegoer's sense that he is sharing in the execution of a great and significant event. And Actor Stewart, for all his professional, 48-year-old boyishness, succeeds almost continuously in suggesting what all the world sensed at the time: that Lindbergh's flight was not the mere physical adventure of a rash young "flying fool," but rather a journey of the spirit, in which, as in the pattern of all progress, one brave man proved himself for all mankind as the paraclete of a new possibility...
...money on a spree. Mr. Barton's performance in the role is a little incoherent, a fact which may be excused on the grounds that the cute little Irishisms and maunderings about the homeland which he is called upon to utter must have proved thoroughly repulsive to an actor of his stature and experience. I am not sure whether McLiam means it so, but the heart attack which strikes Muldoon down is certainly a well-deserved judgment...
