Outstanding camerawork creates a stifling sense of the claustrophobic tube which we share for more than two hours (and two months) with the sailors and their almost smell able dirty socks, As the camera shoots through the single corridor with amazing agility during an alarm, everyone in the audience cringes in fear of bumping his head. The memory of the swaying, dancing point of view presented in the opening scene's smoky, sexy cabaret makes the small interior space of that bar seem a veritable Astrodome...

Old Joe guesses he has been in 100 quakes but never walks up to view the fault, fearing the fire alarm may scream while he is gone. His nonchalance is widely shared.

Previously hailed as the Great Communicator, exuding amicability, confidence, and resourceful leadership. Reagan has emerged as a narrow-minded simpleton, impervious to practicable political bargaining and constructive suggestions. And the press is now hammering that point home...
