...movie is best when it sticks to bullfighting without trying to explain it; the most exciting parts of the movie come in the unedited and continuous sequences of bullfighting. These are superb. Bryant Halliday's narration, which includes lines like, "This is the moment of supereme danger and nobility," doesn't and much to these sequences. Such an approach hides most of the humor of a bullfight. Funny things happen as much in the stands as in the arena...
More than injured pride and frustration had to explain Sir Anthony Eden's ruthless ultimatum and armed attack on Egypt.

They burned...
...true." While running a story on Hagerty's press conference, many of Pearson's regular outlets pointedly omitted his offending column. Typical explanation (by New York's Daily Mirror): "The facts did not substantiate" what Pearson wrote. The Portland Oregon Journal felt "impelled" to explain that Pearson's report was "utterly false" and "an unconscionable smear...
