...pitch dark when Mihailovich laid down his notes and wound up his four hour plea. "I wanted nothing for myself. The French revolution gave the world the rights of man and the Russian revolution also gave us something new, but I did not want to start today where they had started in 1917. I never wanted the old Yugoslavia. ... I was caught in a whirlpool of events. . . .

Most remarkable feature of Till the End of Time: the difficult neuroses-threatened male lead, which might well have frightened a veteran actor, was thrust on a blond, dark-browed, sensationally handsome young man whose entire previous acting experience consisted of one movie bit part. Guy Madison, 24, ex-telephone lineman, was allowed a seven-day leave from the Navy in 1944 to speak a few lines in a David O. Selznick production. The volume of ecstatic bobby-sox fan mail (some 62,000 letters, many addressed simply to The Cute Sailor in Since You Went Away) was staggering...
