Boris is the king of pessimists, but into each reign some life must fall. It comes in the pretty package of Melody St. Ann Celestine (Evan Rachel Wood), who might be as old as 20 and who's run away from her Mississippi family to end up homeless in Manhattan.

It's a great story, and it's a true one; in 1942, GM took just two months to convert its Cadillac assembly line to one that could turn out tanks. The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor buzzed with boffins working on government contracts, and in 1948, the campus had 21,000 students enrolled - or a fifth of the total number of students at every university in France.
