Today everybody expects to live longer. But the man who can give the best longevity estimate, at least for one out of every five Americans, is Carrol Meteer Shanks, president of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America, which has 33.2 million carefully analyzed policyholders. By charting a man's age, background, diseases, job, habits, even his morals, the Pru can chart the odds on the death age down to the last decimal. The Pru's tables show that a male policyholder aged 21 will probably live to be 73 years old, one aged 30 will live...
...Keith. The Great Man is dead. Long live his greatness? Jose Ferrer snoops around tensely, and says no. A tidy film. At the Beacon Hill.

With suggestions of ancient Greece in Boris Aronson's fine setting, with the neighborhood lawyer (J. Carrol Naish) acting as Greek chorus and talking poetically of the Greek and Sicilian past, A View plainly seeks to evoke the drama's great first home of guilty passion and fatal ignorance. But the play, in all this, only emphasizes how little its peasant psychology and hot Sicilian natures have in common with highborn Greek tragedy. Only now and then does there jut up the fated blundering of life, and the pity of it. Far oftener it seems no Furies...
