Between shouting matches. Actor Preston gaily galumphs through some fine, if slightly incongruous, comedy scenes. Director Delbert Mann handles these scenes well, and only occasionally does he allow situations to descend to the level that is fondly known in the women's fiction trade as "heartwarming...
Plant Restaurants. Most aggressive new entrant into vending-machine manufacturing is Chicago's Seeburg Corp., biggest U.S. jukebox manufacturer, which is run by 34-year-old Delbert W. Coleman (TIME, Oct. 27, 1958). Within the past 18 months, Seeburg has acquired four vending-machine makers (cigarettes, fresh brew and powdered coffee, soft drinks in bottles and in cups), added a fifth last week. Seeburg plans to bring out two new machines (milk and candy) in the near future to broaden its line. Coleman expects the company's sales to rise 15% to $26 million this year (35% from...

Aboard his 15-ft., red-and-white cruiser he confidently brought his wife Penney, 35, and his parents, Frank, 65, and Lillian...
...Eric Portman, who played all four of the show's principal parts (TIME, Nov. 5, 1956). Obviously, the movie people could not hope to match that, so they set out to do better-by providing their picture with one of the screen's most gifted young directors, Delbert (Bachelor Party) Mann, and with what is surely the year's most brilliantly glittering cast. For the main roles they hired Rita Hayworth, Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster and David Niven. And for the supporting parts they got four of Britain's most distinguished performers: Wendy Killer, Gladys Cooper...
