...great, long-heralded Southern revolt come at last? For three weeks New Dealers had had cause to worry. Anti-Term IV Democrats in Texas had thrown their State Convention into an uproar by threatening a Party bolt (TIME, June 5). Delegates to the South Carolina convention had also made motions of revolt. Last week, after Mississippi followed suit, a group of Southern "regulars" bustled into secret session in Louisiana. Their job: to devise strategy to lure other Southern states into the rebel camp...

She shouted: "You've been given two opportunities to show your loyalty to the Democratic Party. I call for a bolt. All who are for Roosevelt follow me across the hall."

...half-satiric, half-fantastic comedy. Its comic thesis is that flight from the Nazis makes strange carfellows. A swaggering, snooty Polish colonel with "a perfect 15th-Century mind" (well played by Louis Calhern) and a rueful, humorous, clever Jewish refugee (delightfully played by Oscar Karlweis) both have to bolt from Paris on the run. The colonel cannot find a car; Jacobowsky finds one but cannot drive. Grandly tossing out Jacobowsky's luggage, the colonel condescends to take the wheel, and off they go-smack toward the Nazis in order to fetch the colonel's pretty mistress (Annabella...
