Anyone who believes this will cherish the rest of this movie. Since Kid Galahad is Elvis Presley, he has trouble lifting his eyelids, let alone eight-ounce gloves. Except for Joan Blackman's sweater, there is precious little to open anyone's eyes in this re-botch of the 1937 movie about the seamy side of the fight game. Between bouts, Presley Elviscerates a few helpless songs, moos over Joan, and twists like Little Egypt. Gig Young as a blarneying promoter and Lola Albright as his "fiancée" try to beat some brains into the picture...
...sprawling Harvard Club of Minnesota is widely recognized as one of the most efficient alumni groups in the country. D. Donald Peddie '41, the guiding light of the Club, said, "I like to think I'm doing for Minnesota what Bob Blackman of Dartmouth is doing for the whole country....

...fire from a submerged position, and the missiles they carry are presumed to be only short-range (300 miles) land-type types installed on regular subs whose conning towers were enlarged to make a firing platform for them. But the Russians are undoubtedly working on Polaris-like missiles, Blackman warned, and "it would be unwise to assume, especially in view of Soviet success in astral rocketry, that the U.S.S.R. is any less capable than other nations in the field of hydrodynamic rocketry...
