...Bogart has played a surprising variety of important roles. He has not completely divorced himself from gangster parts-he is presently considering a hoodlum role in The Desperate Hours, a Midwestern crime story which he tried to buy himself before Paramount outbid him. Nevertheless, he has not had a gat in his hand in a long time. He not only plays a wealthy Wall-Street type (complete with Homburg, furled black umbrella, Brooks Brothers suit and briefcase), but wins the hand of lissome Audrey Hepburn in Paramount's forthcoming Sabrina.

At the tender age of four years, my daughter has a well-established idea that it is nice to shoot people...
...mothers concluded: "The gun, the gat, the rod, the six-shooter is the prime motivator of most children's TV programs. Life ... is cheaper than a cigarette butt in a gutter. Not one episode, not one character, not one emotion did we see evoked that the children might emulate to their gain." Their recommendation: "If we had our way, we would make it compulsory for every TV official to sit down and take four hours of the punishment we have just taken, but every week...
