...dead husband. But of course, just as she is about to marry the friend, (after four reels of indecision), the husband shows up and the two men have the customary brawl on the customary cliff-top. You have but one guess who it is that falls into the briny deep. And that, in toto, is all there is to it. Just to make things a bit easier for the duller cinema-goer a convenient cue to the action has been supplied whenever anything important is about to happen the weather always produces a windstorm or a fog or a thunderstorm...
...High, Ocean Deep. Californians boast about their eight-campused university in the same extravagant, affectionate way that they talk about their climate and their oranges. Their enthusiasm is adjectival: the university is big, varied, young, impatient, aggressive, progressive. Especially big. Its interests run as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky. At Scripps Institution in La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya), Cal oceanographers study the depths of the Pacific, and at Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton, Cal astronomers scan the stars. The university operates the atom-bomb city of Los Alamos, N.Mex. It owns ranches, waterworks, apartment buildings...
Even though (as he loves to point out) his Chicago Tribune is published deep in the heart of the U.S., Col. Robert Rutherford ("Bertie") McCormick feels a little unsafe.

The picture presents a forgivably languid Fred MacMurray as a pearl smuggler. He marries deep-chested Ava Gardner just in time to lose track of her when the Japanese take Singapore. After the war he comes back to look for her and for some pearls he hid in an electric fan. He and his contraband manage a relatively placid reunion, having to contend only with...
That some of the German people consider their defeat a dirty trick to be revenged some day is hardly spot news. Shirer, however, is convinced that the feeling runs wide and deep. As early as 1943, with the war's end still two years off, the feeling of being put upon by the world began creeping into the General Staff's hush-hush memoranda, many of which Shirer quotes practically in full. It reaches a climax in Hitler's absurd will, and is still, says Shirer, an article of faith today. Though expressed repeatedly...
