After Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold, chief U.S. trust buster, had argued for an hour that Petrillo's edict not only established a closed shop but tried "to secure a closed country," brusque Judge Barnes did not even bother to hear Petrillo's side of the case. He had read the record, he said, and was convinced the case before him was a labor dispute between union musicians and record manufacturers and radio stations. The Norris-LaGuardia Act outlawed injunctions in labor disputes, said the judge; furthermore, he could find no violations of the Sherman...
Curious soldiers clustered on a New Guinea riverbank. As the late afternoon sunlight slanted through coconut-palm fronds, a raft drifted around the river bend.

Heedless of cries of "Don't bother, we'll get it for you" from the soldiers on the bank, four Australian soldiers aboard the raft slowly gathered up possessions that only a soldier can truly treasure-firearms, rain capes, a few battered odds & ends.

...whole show himself. Appearing in nearly every scene, and dominating every other character in the story, Ladd neatly pulls a weak and often aimless story up by his own bootstraps into the realm of first-rate escapist filmfare. As Raven, the grim and psychopathic gunman who doesn't even bother to blink when he polishes off his daily quota of victims, he glides easily through a part that in other hands might well have degenerated into another "boy-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks" role...
