...Berlin Express (RKO Radio), which RKO shot mostly in Germany, is really two movies-one in the background, the other in the foreground. The background is an album of postwar Germany: a series of malignantly beautiful photographs of rubbled cities, taken with a depth of focus that clarifies the fear in every handful of dust.

And in The Beaver's Evening Standard, Cartoonist David Low goes right on poking fun at The Beaver's ruggedly individualistic stand. But Lord Beaverbrook's strictures on the U.S. have convinced many a Briton that the Daily Express is consciously and consistently anti-American. Actually it is friendly toward the U.S., but hostile to much of its policy and actions. The total impression the Express gives is that what...
