John was given four operations, spread over eight months. Surgeon Frank L. Meany built a new bridge for his nose and thinned his lips. All his misshapen teeth were pulled and he got false teeth. The usual cost of all this facial improvement would have been around $3,000; John paid only $35 for dental material...
...impressed with Muni's superb performance. He utters perhaps too many "Dio Mio's," but the warmth and understanding which he brings to the role of the Italian-American wine producer are unsurpassed.

For the right to these dubious advantages, he must first undergo a complete mental and physical check-up which may reject him for such various causes as facial ugliness or unfilled cavities in the teeth...

Besides exposing the politicians' worst facial expressions, the camera caught occasional telltale traces of boredom, insincerity and petulance...
