...second jarring element in conception is the casting of physically small actors to play big characters. Given the necessity of using cleanshaven students for Irish laborers, Hamlin might at least have found tall students, and ones with deep voices. Toby Hurd as Jack Clitheroe (a bricklayer) is so implausible physically that the intensity of his performance goes for naught. M.D. Schlesinger, as Peter Flynn, must rely on a strictly musical-comedy set of old man's gestures which destroy the conviction of every scene...

Blue-eyed, dapper, cleanshaven, lean and tall, he was born 46 years ago near Lvov, fought the Germans in the last war, was slightly wounded in Warsaw, later became an officer and attended the Ecole de Guerre in Paris. He was commanding a cavalry brigade in 1939 when Poland fell. In the summer of 1943 General Wladislaw Sikorsky appointed him chief of the Polish underground, less than 24 hours before Sikorsky was killed in an airplane crash. The Germans were said...
