...Belle Indifference. For the defense, Harley Street Neurologist Colin Edwards testified that Podola's patchy knowledge was in no way inconsistent with genuine loss of memory, and that only a man with a specialist's knowledge of rarely seen symptoms could fake Podola's act. Podola, he said, was "normally sane with the exception of memory loss," was suffering from "hysterical amnesia," a condition which can be characterized by "unconscious suppression" of particular memories "due to emotional causes." Might this unconscious suppression "clear up next week?" asked Mr. Justice Davies. "I think not, my lord," replied...

Kelly III, 19, son of the World War II hero killed on a Philippines bombing mission three days after Pearl Harbor, had won an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, strictly on his own.

But the unsleeping, worrying mind refuses to leave well alone. "Whose socks are those?" he asks. "Actually," Marie answers, "Colin...
Thereafter Colin is less the third member of a triangle than one of humanity's eternal albatrosses. Broke, drunk, homeless, he is "a kind of unconscious missionary" who, by sponging on the lovers mercilessly, gives his victims a chance to show their better nature. When the pianist finally proposes to Marie in a railroad dining car, Colin is still there-up front with the detective who is arresting him for petty thievery. But it seems unlikely that either wedding bells or prison cells will succeed in keeping those socks off Marie's clothesline...
