...Actress Caron, who is made up to look rather like one of those sentimentally pretty pollywogs in a Disney cartoon, hastens to roll her eyes soulfully and explain that she is just not good enough for the young man any more. "Ay ham deefrawnt.'' Fortunately, all this takes place during World War II in London, and a buzz-bomb soon comes along to simplify the situation. It pounds some sense into the heroine's head, to judge from the script, but it only leaves the spectator in a daze...
...field-stripped carbine, why this book has been bought in tens of thousands by Germans. There are few names, and even the scene is one of those anonymous "inhabited places" that appeared in Russian war communiqués, as featureless as its invaders.

Envious of Piel's success, two other breweries are planning similar cartoon commercials...
...Illingworth hand. A recent Illingworth-Muggeridge view of British politics showed Prime Minister Eden and Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell, both dressed as Nero, saying to each other: "I can fiddle a damned sight better than you." Other favorite targets have included Eisenhower, Bulganin and Khrushchev. In his latest cartoon on John Foster Dulles, Illingworth wasted no words in a biting, uncaptioned comment on the Secretary of State at work...
