Raising prize cocker spaniels, everyone knew, was Janet Gray's hobby. She filled her kennels with more than 40 purebred cockers, including buff-colored Ch. Carmor's Rise and Shine (price: $5,000), judged Best in Show at Manhattan's 1954 Westminster Kennel Club competition, dogdom's Olympiad. Mrs. Gray worked as business manager of the small Decatur Clinic, about ten miles northeast of Atlanta, and everyone realized that she could not live so luxuriously on a bookkeeper's pay.

The remaining $20,000 was the Cahills' money to live on during his three years at New Haven State Teachers College, where he is studying to become a high-school mathematics instructor. "We didn...
...been subtly directed by Henri Verneuil, handsomely produced by Raoul Ploquin, admirably helped with a good supporting cast. But Fernandel is a Judas goat who leads every minute of Sheep to its zany consummation. With the slightest nuances of his elastic face-a leer, a bucktoothed grin, a cocker-spaniel look of sadness-he proves that he is one of the most versatile comedians alive...
