...last salute was sounding for an old and good friend, Captain Everett ("Swede") Hazlett, U.S.N. (ret.), who died last week of cancer. A high school chum of Ike's back in Abilene, Swede spent many an hour at the Belle Springs Creamery playing penny-ante poker with Night Foreman Eisenhower during the long, lonely night shift. It was Hazlett who persuaded Ike to try for a military career, helped him cram for his Annapolis-West Point competitive exam. (Ike went to West Point because he was too old for Annapolis.)

...moving utterance of the commercial muse: a true myth. Set down with crude force by Jan de Hartog in Book I of his 1952 novel, The Distant Shore, the myth has been clarified and rationalized with a masterly sense of symbolic logic by Scriptwriter-Producer Carl (High Noon) Foreman and Director Carol (Trapeze) Reed. On the surface, the film seems little different from a hundred other stories of men in war and women in love-except perhaps in the finesse of the witty and suspenseful writing and editing.
