Revson laughed-and ordered McCarthy thrown off the account. Now executive editor of the Catholic Digest, McCarthy, who still has dirty fingernails, says freely and even admiringly: "Charlie is a genius. He is also a bombastic, terribly hardworking, frantic...
After Revson had chewed up a reported 18 account executives, McCann-Erickson got tired of the slaughter and parted company with him in 1948.

Each frame is itself a picture; and most are crowded with Gorky's friends, the laborers, convicts, beggars, merchants, clowns and children who live...
