...photography John Wilcox has handled the camera well at all times, and used his medium creatively. Those scenes with the histrionic darling of American screendom, Dixie Collins, have been overexposed, giving a flatness, lack of contrast, and washed-out appearance that are an amusing contrast to the breasty, brash, bleached blonde played by Yolande Donlan...
Taking Charge. The Los Angeles that Johnson rolled into was shuddering proof that Operation Kennedy had again outrun the wildest guesses of the old pros. From the Kennedy command post on the Biltmore Hotel's eighth floor, the team headed by Jack's brother Bob (the "brash young man," as a New York Times editorial called him) took charge of arriving delegates, newsmen and even the political atmosphere.

He further endeared himself to court circles by presenting attractive Princess Lalla Aisha, 29, with a cowgirl...
...Auden may well have said everything of value he ever will say, but on the whole he restates it effectively. Homage to Clio-poems written during the past five years-is the work of the self-revised, settled Auden, but it still offers a reasonably varied mixture. The earlier, brash Auden still reappears occasionally with bits of wise-guy fluff...
