...judgment of Harry Truman, expert politician, such easy talk obviously seemed wise talk, at least at the moment. But the President had no more basis than his military men or his worried Secretary of State (see INTERNATIONAL) for concluding that the international prospect was more pleasing these days.

Ronald Colman plays Beauregard Bottomley, an omniscient bookworm who is convinced that radio's money-splurging quiz shows threaten the U.S. with "intellectual destruction," and sets out to strike a blow for intellectual salvation. An expert who can't be stumped, he appears on Soap Manufacturer Vincent Price's double-ornothing program week after week, letting his winnings pile up with the plan of taking over the whole $40-million soap company. When the alarmed hucksters try to give him what he has already won and get rid of him, a hero-loving public refuses...
