...soldiers in their quiet streets last week bitterly reminded Germans of the Moroccans who took part in the 1919-30 occupation of the Rhineland (which Hitler called a plot against the purity of Germany), and of those who raped the Black Forest villages during World War II, finding their food and fun where they could. Some German women believe, whether or not it is true, that in those days one Moroccan raped a fraulein, then killed her by biting through her jugular vein. The French deny that Moroccans committed more rape than any other troops, but they are sole possessors...
...dropping gifts of machetes, bright beads and clothing in a canvas bucket with a line so long that the light plane could wait, circling, while the Indians emptied the pail. One afternoon, catching on, the Aucas responded by sending up some presents of their own: feathers, birds and food. Thus encouraged, the Americans a fortnight ago landed hopefully on a length of the sandy beach of the River Curaray...

The details and timing were still undecided, said Zeckendorf grandly, but he and his backers had already plunked down $500,000 as down payment on half the land, hoped to start building this year...
Only the Marx Brothers could have produced genuine humor from so superficial and ridiculous a plot. The story, when salvaged from moose heads, flying turkeys, and the like, centers about the attempts of Groucho's penniless producer, to get enough money for food and theatrical costs before he is evicted from his hotel room. "The show must go on" antics provide the entire plot, the rest being elaboration. As a result, the film sometimes drags and the jokes become tedious, but the movie closes with scenes so hilarions that Martin and Lewis seem low-ranking amateurs by comparison...
