...shrewd, gregarious Pat Hurley had helped smooth out many a rough spot before Communist Leader Mao Tse-tung traveled the road to Chungking. Behind his façade of storytelling joviality he had worked mightily and effectively for better U.S. understanding of Chiang's problems, better Chinese understanding of U.S. aims.

Mr. Boyer makes an artist's façade and unspoken opinions reasonable on the screen, Miss Dunne ought to be able to make quite a go of politics. Mr. Coburn, as always, must be described as "dependable." Too often that adjective compares unfavorably with a blunt instrument. In his case, however, it covers a multitude of talents...
