...against Maitland's corrosive contempt for his work. His wife is Maitland's petition in domestic bankruptcy. His mistress and his casual office couchmates do not attest Maitland's sexual prowess but his inability to love.

The actor who plays Hitler, Billy Frick, is so exact a look-alike that he is afraid to leave the set except mustacheless and in mufti. The porcine, Prussian-looking fellow cast as General von Choltitz worries less, for during the past year he has got as many off-screen hisses as autograph requests. His name is Gert Frobe...
