Some of the lines sound merely pompous. (Sample: "What makes Sammy run? The answer to that is the answer to everything. Not just to you, to me, but to the country-maybe to the whole world.") But Director Delbert Mann keeps the pace as brisk as Sammy's own. As the heel-hero's idealistic mentor, Al Manheim, John (Bachelor Father) Forsythe looks and sounds like the soft-hearted friend to man he was meant to be. Barbara Rush is Schulberg's "Vassar smarty-pants" scriptwriter down to the last inflection; Dina Merrill plays the conniving heiress...

Two years ago, at the ripe ages...
...York Timesman Harrison Salisbury weighed in with voluminous notes about life inside the Kremlin. Samples: "Lighters: not usually used . . . They use safety matches . . . They are very fond of potted palms." Director Delbert ("Marty") Mann put together a briefcase full of filing cards, constantly studied their cryptic information: "Stalin, 73, 5 ft. 4 in., weight 150-190. Doodles wolves, girls, castles and word Lenin...
