Denis William Brogan, a Cambridge University don (political science) and BBC adviser on U.S. affairs, is fast becoming the western world's most frequent spokesman on Anglo-American characteristics. By birth (1900) a Scots-Irish Glaswegian, Brogan was educated at Glasgow, Oxford and Harvard, has since published scholarly, lively studies of three nations-The American Character, The English People, The Free State.

These "intellectual" flourishes finally grind even the inoffensive little love story to movie mush...
