...invent the machine that would make his fortune. He was earning good pay as a time-study man at the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond. Calif., but he expected the job to fold after war's end, and he did not want to go back to chiseling out a bare living in a one-man woodwork shop, as he had done in his first few years in the U.S. Recalling a newspaper article that predicted a postwar do-it-yourself boom, Goldschmidt decided that his invention would be an all-purpose power tool for home carpenters who wanted to make...
...plot alone is at least a bare indication of how well her talent can be utilized. Miss Dietrich takes the part of a vagrant cafe-singer with an ability to incite admirers to riot. Because of this, she is deported from one East Indian island to another, even though her position with cafe society and the Navy remains secure. Her main task in Seven Sinners is to flirt with sailors, look sultry, and sing some of Frank Lesser's best lyrics. When breathing "I'm in the Mood for Love," Miss Dietrich's performance is especially provocative...
...picture expecting warmed-over Casablanca. There is only the connection of a common excellence. Most of the roaring successes--many of them also starring Humphrey Bogart, depended on tight-knit plots that, while fine alone, were garnished by unusual characters and brilliant lines.

The tellers sat solemnly around little tables, fished into metal boxes, pulled out ballots and shouted names and numbers to colleagues who carefully inscribed them in big books. Boys ran in & out through the cigarette haze bearing little cups of Turkish coffee and glasses of strong tea to fortify the ballot checkers...
...attempted assault on the Lampoon Building by Hollywood (sic) producer Spires Skouras. With typical inefficiency and disregard for the facts, you have this time gone too far. Not only is the entire story a concoction of one of your more imaginative editors, but even the few details given bare no relation to the truth. My capacity at the Lampoon has nothing whatever to do with the circulation department and I have never laid eyes on Mr. Skouras or any of his associates...
