...turn as dark-colored as possible just before a pursuing enemy catches up with it. Then it ejects as a decoy a blob of inky water about as big as itself. Simultaneously, it turns light-colored and takes evasive action, pretending to be something else. This system fooled Hall, and he believes that it ought to fool the squid's natural enemies...
...rest of the leads are generally well handled, especially that of the Grand Mikado (Victor Altshul). He has an impressive voice, and combines a regal loftiness with the eagerness of a village fool. The tendency toward madness is also reflected in the executioner (Ned Marcus), who leaps and leers his way across the stage. Marcus' continual body motion and fast pace tend to be a bit too intense, but he is quite funny, and could be even funnier if he would slow down enough to let all the lines come across. His best moments are with the old maid, played...

His toughest job is finding a proper body: that of a man of military age who has just died of pneumonia-so there will be enough fluid in the lungs to fool a Spanish prosector into believing the man has drowned. So long as the film remains a documentary, its detail is fascinating, whether it is the slow building of a personality and past life for the dead man or the grisly task of dressing the corpse in a hospital cellar...

It is unlikely, however, that the guise will be any more effective than Russia's use of Czech arms. Worse, this attempt to use the French as a decoy represents not only diplomatic ineptitude, but moral cowardice. If we are unwilling to commit ourselves fully to Israeli interests, it is indeed base to attempt to force the French into it. France with her Algerian problem, is as interested in maintaining Moslem goodwill as the United States, and hence...
