...Spencer family owns a crag in the Grand Tetons, but they are poor as gophers, and Clayboy Spencer (MacArthur), the apple of all eyes, wants to go to college. Father Fonda is bound to get him there. Mimsy Farmer is bound to get him into the clover, but Clayboy is no playboy, and it takes many reels before she gets him to climb the mountain "to grow up." Parents who prefer their kids to learn about life in a setting other than the widescreen Wyoming hills would do well to follow the lead of Mother Maureen O'Hara...

But one poster showing an impressive aerial view of one of Los Angeles' clover-leafs had an unhappy effect. In Britain, the reaction was: "Get me on one of those things? Not bloody likely...
...your haw-haw-lier-than-thou reviewer's damning with faint puns Peter De Vries' Through the. Fields of Clover: for such a pun-stirrer to grind up De Vries' meaty message with half-witticisms of his own seems in wurst possible taste-particularly in such a notorious quip-joint as TIME...
