...West, 61, a latter-day blonde with original curves, made her night-club debut in the Sahara, a Las Vegas saloon, and proved that "my brand of sex" is still a basic barroom commodity. Mae's brand consisted of herself and "the first barechest act for lady customers in history"-eight muscle-bound young men in loin-cloutish Bikinis, one of them the current "Mr. America," the rest onetime contenders for the title. All in all, Mae's troupe proved invigorating even for jaded

Sam can still pound out lively barroom piano music, but with maturity, he has acquired a greater fancy for collecting old cars and gold toothpicks...
...deserves much credit for the smoothness and interest of the formerly dull plays. He keeps the pace fast and stresses action to break up the long stretches of dialogue. His lurking camera finds unexpected stances and hiding places from which to catch the actors in their ship hoard and barroom life. Full force of storms and brawls come to the audience through the mobile camera eye, and the feeling of close shipboard quarters presses in as a man lies dying in a narrow bunk...
