Green Fire (MGM) spreads caviar on hardtack-which hardly improves the hardtack, and pretty well spoils the caviar. Grace Kelly is the delicacy in question, and what she is wasted on here is an ordinary Grade B jungle bungle. In Green Fire, as in Mogambo, the only other picture she has made at Metro, Grace is caviar to the crocodiles. A coffee heiress, she lives on a South American mocha finca. The nearest eligible male is weeks away. Hold on though, here comes Stewart Granger up the river, looking almost as hungry as she does. He is not hungry...
After the war, Walt definitely decided: "We're through with caviar. From now on it's mashed potatoes and gravy." His first four postwar features-Make Mine Music, Song of the South, Fun and Fancy Free and Melody Time-looked like mashed potatoes all right, but they didn't bring in much gravy. Disney's next big picture, however, made plenty: Cinderella may eventually outgross Snow White. And though Alice in Wonderland was a flop, Peter Pan was another smash hit. which exchanged Barrie sentiment for Hollywood slapstick and almost made the crocodile the hero...
...Atlas Corp. for $9,000,000 (75% of which Pick kept under capital gains), and Charles Steen, whose Utex Exploration Co.

Bing Crosby, for example, was able to buy 20,000 shares in Minute Maid stock for 10? a share in return for singing on the company's radio programs (the stock later sold for $15). Since then...
...mousey Clyde, did not borrow his characterization from the many stock portrayals of the harried little man. By adding his own gestures and inflections, Whedon produces a likeable blundering, never grating in his blundering. Whedon's clear diction also benefits his singing moments and his numbers, particularly "Caviar and Roses," pretty nearly overcome the given handicaps...
...biggest exhibition building at Damascus, at Izmir (Smyrna) in Turkey, at Salonika in Greece, at Djakarta in Indonesia. Gone were the days when the Soviets sent a few heavy tools and a few heavy-handed "salesmen" with propaganda pamphlets. Now the Communists were smooth fellows, showing off automobiles, caviar, medical equipment and agricultural implements and talking grandly (though also vaguely) of delivery dates and competitive prices. They were courteous as could be. "After all," explained a Red trade weekly, "politeness and hospitality have nothing to do with capitalist customs. Both were practiced in the ancient days." At Izmir, record crowds...
