...Tiomkin some popular lyrics for new movies: "You are a mess, you are my Sweet Smell of Success"; "The day they hanged my daddy, mother was just A Face in the Crowd." To the dismay of NBC brass, he lashed out at the New York World-Telegram's Critic Harriet Van Home because she accused him of a lack of brashness ("I don't know what that broad meant"). If Paar can keep the fun and games going, he would like to call his new show Son of Tonight...
...stood to reason that Novelist André Malraux, onetime fighter pilot with the Loyalists in Spain's civil war, and internationally famed art critic, would eventually zero in on Francisco Goya.

...Spencer Tracy and Pat O'Brien-not to mention Barry Fitzgerald, Van Johnson, Paul Douglas, Gregory Peck, Charles Boyer, Montgomery Clift, Henry Fonda, Charles Bickford, Karl Maiden, and even Humphrey Bogart and Frank Sinatra. All this adds up to vulgar exploitation of the Roman Catholic Church, says Film Critic Robert Brizzolara of The Voice of St. Jude, national magazine of the Claretian Missionary Fathers.
