...good-looking, good-for-nothing roughneck (Ralph Meeker), he comes among a widow who had married unwisely for love; her two daughters, one beautiful and besought (Janice Rule), the other bright and coltishly adolescent (Kim Stanley); her boarder, an old-maid schoolteacher with an unmatrimonial-minded beau; her next-door neighbor, a middle-aged woman chained to an invalid mother.

...Stevenson had not prepared them for what was, in fact, an overwhelming switch to Eisenhower. A New York grocer named Vincent Goluch took it hardest, turning in five false fire alarms the morning after election (as he turned in the sixth, police arrested him). In San Antonio, a Democratic boarder, annoyed by the triumphant smirks of his Republican landlady, set fire to her house. "I just didn't like her attitude," he explained to firemen...
