...mystery, not much. It will quickly become obvious to the most gullible moviegoer that the star is foisting a double on the public and that she must be a close blood relative. The result of this trumpery is that poor William Holden, as the producer, must act far dumber than we know this intelligent actor to be. It is a measure of his reliable skills that we stay with him. We must also believe that Marthe Keller, who plays Fedora in the flashback scenes and her double in the contemporary sequences, has the Garboesque acting skills to match her undeniable...

Any comparison to Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon is, of course, purely intentional...

Interviews with Norton, Young and a boxer known as Armando Muniz all exhibited the tremendous rise of intellectual capacity in boxers when compared with the older, dumber models of Joe Louis and Rocky Graziano. Intelligence, then, as much as the increased flamboyance of fighters on all levels, has rejuvenated the flame in boxing--one which saw the most boxers in history participate in the New York Golden Gloves competition...
