Ocean's 11 was a slightly amusing remake of Rififi that instituted a custom: every Clan picture carries a number in its title. Sergeants 3 was a feeble remake of Gunga Din. 4 for Texas, apparently intended as a jestern, or horselaugh opera, isn't really funny. It isn't really funny to see two overage destroyers (Martin and Sinatra) wallowing in floods of booze. It isn't really funny to see two top-heavy tootsies (Anita Ekberg and Ursula Andress) involved in a tasteless chest contest. And it isn't really funny to hear...

Now they earn $5,000 a week playing one-night stands all over Britain. Their records have sold 2,500,000 copies, and crowds stampede for a chance to touch the hem of the collarless coats sported onstage by all four of them...
...learned about the value of constructive news" and by studying the techniques of the News. The Mirror continued to reflect a rash of stunts calculated to hook the reader: Yo-Yo contests, picture puzzles, yards of crime coverage in an era when New York streets rang with the din of gang wars. By 1932, Mirror circulation passed 500,000. But the News passed...
