Later in the week Budget Director Frank Pace Jr. flew in with his troubles. The budget for fiscal 1951, he told newsmen, would be "under $45 billion." He added: "In my judgment the budget cannot be balanced without additional taxes." It was also obvious, though he did not say so, that Congress was unlikely to be in a tax-increasing mood.

McClintie's direction achieves maximum tension as Miss George struggles to keep a young professor with liberal ideas (James Noble) in the convent despite the protests of a misled bishop (John Williams). There are very few superfluous scenes. The ability of the director to achieve relief humor in an especially tense situation is typified at one point when Miss George must interview the resolute bishop for 20 minutes without giving him a chance to dismiss the professor...
