Where's the Meat tells in considerable detail where it is, where it isn't and why it won't be. There are glimpses of black markets and worried men in Washington, of sharp practices in stores and on the range, and of the small local butcheries which have crammed quick-freeze lockers with millions of pounds of meat, much of it bought point-free, on the hoof...
Among other things, war is a craft, and G.I. Joe does an excellent job of explaining it. Its action includes some of the most lucid pictures ever filmed of infantrymen at work. The actors, many of them combat veterans, perform their jobs with competence and beautiful attention to detail.

...that, according to Freud, "love" is the root of all evil. Physically appropriate as the frigid sister-in-law, Alexis Smith is less persuasive as an actress. On the other hand, Director Curtis Bernhardt and his colleagues exploit such action possibilities as the fierce, desolate murder scene with masterful detail, turn the story's emotions into something more cruel and vivid than a series of plot signposts...
