...good deal. Walter Pidgeon is not very happily cast as Sabre, but he succeeds in making a solid character of him. Britain's Deborah Kerr by now seems thoroughly at home in Hollywood, both as a beauty and an actress; but she is wasted in such a role. Angela Lansbury does a good, straight job in her "unpleasant" role. Janet Leigh deserves much better parts...
...human being. Georges Duroy (George Sanders)-Bel Ami to his lady friends-is a scoundrel, at the very least. Starting all but penniless, he climbs aboard Journalist John Carradine's friendship; charms Carradine's brainy wife (Ann Dvorak) into working for him; draws her widowed friend (Angela Lansbury) into a hopeless infatuation; sets a publisher's virtuous wife (Katherine Emery) burning with ill-repressed desire for him; exploits the virginal love of her daughter (Susan Douglas) ; makes a pass (unsuccessful) at devout Frances Dee; contracts a convenience marriage with Widow Dvorak over the scarcely cold body...

It isn't fair to give us just this tasty hors d'oeuvre. More! More...
...women were the celebrated international liberal, Angela Katz, author of Everyone Sleeps in One Big Bed-A Plea for the Internationalization of the Atom Bomb, and her daughter, Carrie Chapman Katz, named for the famed U.S. feminist. At the moment when civilization was whiffed out, they had been working in the stacks of the New York Public Library on Author Katz's new book, Down with Work-The Nuclear Physics of Economic Democracy, and perhaps owed their freak escape from the blast to the deadening effect of so many books...
