Conceivably, the Russians may have made a major technological breakthrough on some new nuclear device that is so important that testing outweighs all other factors; some American scientists feel that with luck, hard work and unlimited testing, the U.S. could develop within five years the first crude version of a neutron bomb, which would kill by neutrons but leave buildings more or less unharmed. Khrushchev recently warned U.S.'s John McCloy, President Kennedy's adviser on disarmament, that the Russians were working on the neutron-bomb idea themselves...

...Condon, a retired New York schoolteacher who, aroused by the crime, had written to the Bronx Home News offering his life's savings in exchange for the child. Condon got an answer in fractured English and bearing the same curious signature-two overlapping blue circles with three crude square holes cutting across the design-that had appeared on the ransom note...

Pine Slats. For the eventual conviction of the elusive John, the book largely credits a brilliant, scholarly xylotomist named Arthur Koehler, whose principal job was analyzing the one unmistakable clue left by the kidnaper: a crude wooden ladder that had been used to reach the nursery window.

Actress Cardinale seems almost ludicrously crude by comparison. But her faults are not all her fault. Director Valeric Zurlini, a well-known cheesecake vendor, incessantly interrupts the subtle drama of the script to turn his lens on Claudia's chest. He obviously intends the show to be a bust. And so, in the last analysis...

...conceived, the story has dramatic force and psychological acuity. As realized, the film shows a distressing tendency to candy its corpses, and the climax is a mere placebo. Hayes's scene writing is often crude, and Phil (The Secret Way) Karlson's direction is sometimes downright amateur. He repeatedly misplaces his camera and clumsily misdirects his actors. He cannot rattle Actor March, who after a career of 33 years and 65 films stands almost without rival as a creative cinemactor. But the director thoroughly demoralizes Actor Gazzara-at best a humorless performer, he seems in this role...
