When they insist that the factories they build must be state property, Russian negotiators are often more in tune with the vaguely socialist ideology of most Afro-Asians than are U.S. aid administrators in their attempts to promote free enterprise.

A deranged Southern belle (played with whoops, whimpers and childbed eye-rolling by Elizabeth Taylor) thereafter convinces him that she is pregnant, and he marries her. Eva Marie looks distressed, but maintains her maiden faith. Sure enough, everything turns out all right: Fort Sumter is shot up, Elizabeth Taylor goes completely insane, Atlanta is burned again (it looked hotter in Gone With the Wind), Clift gets wounded, Lincoln is assassinated, and finally there is a fond fadeout between Clift and Eva Marie...
