...fairly calmly, but tiny (5 ft.) Soprano Stratas, a senior at the University of Toronto, promptly burst into tears. She kissed Conductor Kurt Adler and everyone else in sight, announced: "I can't wait. I want so much, I want to do things." Met staffers, struck by her facial and temperamental resemblance to another emotional soprano with a Greek name, have already pinned a nickname on Winner Stratas: "Little Callas...

Actress Simmons gives one of her most sensitive and graceful performances. And even Rhonda Fleming has been persuaded to make a variety of facial expressions that generally accord with what she is saying. But Dan O'Herlihy steals the show with one of the year's finest screen performances. Limited, insensitive, frightened, petty, penny-pinching, pompous, ambitious, but with it all somehow trying to be decent, trying to be kind, the husband...
