...Crayons & Glue. The records show that a healthy man can survive ten days without water (in cool climates), several weeks without solid food (in warm ones), 243 hours without sleep. He can endure air temperatures of 212° (for about an hour), water temperatures of 41° (for about half an hour...
...this disarming comedy spectacular has the charm, spirit and easy-does-it amiability usually associated with movies made on a shoe string. Producer Stan Margulies and Director Ken Annakin, in lightsome homage to the birth of aviation, have sensibly squandered a good share of their budget on bamboo, catgut, glue, canvas and piano wire to reproduce an authentic, outlandish armada of vintage aircraft.

The experts are passing this defeat off as a fluke, but since it was Bold Lad's only real test at a distance, the Wood suggests that the sold Derby favorite will run out of gas in the home stretch...
