...Bendix Home Appliances Inc., which revolutionized the washing-machine industry eleven years ago with its automatic home washer, was all ready last week to do it again. As a starter, it cut prices 7%, the first postwar reductions by a major producer in the automatic-washer field. Then it announced that it had bought Cleveland's H. J.

Howard Da Silva, playing the worried owner of the airlines, is natural and convincing. William Bendix takes over every scene in which he is, as a hedgehopping pilot and a friend of the family. One wishes that the movie had stuck to the flying story and left out the drab plot surrounding Anne Baxter, who is unpleasantly water-eyed almost all the time...
