Director Wellman has set up in his CinemaScope panel some splendid images of human mass in roil and flow, and Cameraman William H. Clothier has almost magically cajoled California into looking like China, with the gauzy seascapes, the abstract arrangements of seines in sunlight and the ochred skies. But the blunt point of the pictute is to display John Wayne to best advantage-stripped in a bathtub, bloody at the wheel, phlegmatically stirring his bayonet around inside a Communist. As usual, he makes a more convincing display than most of Hollywood's he-men can. And when Lauren asks...
...furniture store they can get a living-room set at $15 a month, and from the appliance man a freezer for $8.29 a month. If they want a power mower, some hardware dealers will sell them one for a few dollars each month in a budget charge account.

Lancashire men invented the first machines of mass production (the Crompton mule, the spinning jenny), were the first to use steam to drive them. But the price of industrial precocity, in an age that was unprepared for it, was paid by the people of Lancashire...
Said a West Coast clothier: "We're on the verge of the greatest revolution the men's clothing industry has ever felt." Revolution was not quite the word, since man's basic garb will still be a pair of pants and a coat. But change there is-a major change unthought of as little as five years...
