...worked through to, by great effort. The failure of spontaneity is written in the unevenness of Gerassi's paintings not only from one to the next, but at times within a picture. A telltale sign is the smudges which occur in various places where the artist has tried to correct himself. For this reason, as well as others, the "Fighting Cocks," a brilliant picture, strikes me as more satisfying than the long bird that hangs to its left...

...always some people who want to get emotionally involved in their entertainment, and since producer Mike Todd obviously set out to please everybody, the picture even has a plot.

In 1948 Dr. Harken was one of three surgeons who, independently and almost simultaneously, began to operate with increasing success and decreasing risk...
Actually you're partly correct, but for the whole story we must go back one or two years to 1856, in "Indja," where Flynn, as noble, good-hearted, brave and true, in a word, English, Major Geoffrey Vicars, skirmishes baggy-trousered local rebels, goes panther shooting, or was it cheetahs, with the treacherous Surat Khan, and loses the love of Olivia DeHaviland, whose lower lip quivers almost continuously in the role of some English general's tender-sweet daughter. The charge, rung in as a sort of last resort in the last ten minutes of the film, climaxes an hour...
