Last December, when Glezos was arrested again, accused along with 16 others of having abetted Communist spies in Greece, Moscow saw another fine chance to capitalize on Western sentimentality; with a wild beating of propaganda drums, Soviet President Kliment Voroshilov appealed to Greece's King Paul to free Glezos, now a left-wing newspaper editor.

Young Eddie (The Music Man) Hodges is fine as the child who plays gin rummy with his father at 4 o'clock in the morning. As the feverish businessman who cannot fathom the playboy's vagaries, Edward G. Robinson has an intonation and gesture to fit every line-and all the best lines are his.
