...cost of sufficient thrills. Cramped by such material, Director Ferrer does little more than work up a few lively scenes and-as he has so often done in previous productions-cast some good people in minor roles. As the harassed sheriff, with a pregnant wife into the bargain (Kim Hunter), Cinemactor John Hodiak struggles manfully, but about all he demonstrates is that a policeman's lot is not a happy...
...fact, both sides and the middle deserve brickbats. First, U.S. Steel's officers refused to bargain at first. No concessions, they said, strangely reminiscent of George F.

Among them: a sizable number of suits by German...
School No.1 cautions the West not to reject Russia's offer solely on grounds which the Russians can do something about, but the West cannot. Thus, Russia might permit free elections, and at a later date hand back the land east of the Oder-Neisse to sweeten the bargain. Then what would the West do? School No. i argues, in effect, that Russia may now be making a tactical retreat...
