...only in his froggily croaking voice, but in the dances that he pointedly sits out. Only in a second-act number called I'm Fascinating does he finally take the dance floor (and the house) with his eccentrically masterful specialty, the best-ever human imitation of a drunken penguin on ice. Top supporting honors go to Anita Gillette as a sex-hexed coed with a diaphanous sentence structure ("I desired his body"). Except for her, All-American is an asthmatic wheeze-bang...
...actors match the director's performance. Trevor Howard's big physique, broad face and rumbling voice adapt themselves beautifully in portraying Walter Morel's vacillation between drunken violence and puppylike abjection before his wife and sons. Unable to understand his wife or to break her hold over Paul, he can only stage a series of futile revolts. Wendy Miller is equally successful as Mrs. Morel; her changes of expression at the slightest mention of a competitor for Paul's devotion are masterful. As Paul, Dean Slackwell is less convincing, but intense and labile enough. The camera catches the spirit...

...exchanged fire with an Indian cruiser and two destroyers for 45 minutes. Her captain badly wounded, the crippled ship was finally beached. Less than two days after Indian troops crossed the frontier, the Portuguese surrendered. The night after the surrender in Pangim, a happy Sikh infantryman lay in a drunken sleep outside the governor general's palace, two champagne bottles at his side. Both sides killed more bottles than they did men. Best estimates of casualties: 40 killed and wounded for both Portuguese and Indians...
