...Deliverance (TIME, April 20). A few more deal with a subject successfully chosen to titillate advance publicity. Felice Gordon, for instance, in The Pleasure Principle looks into the bed and bored accommodations of a beautiful and renowned American widow now wed to a Greek shipping magnate. Attractive Lois Gould, widow of a New York newspaperman, has created that city's most piquant putative roman a clef in years by writing her first novel about the wife of a New York art director who discovers that most of her girl friends loved her dying husband both too wisely...

Wearing a rumpled suit and a feral gleam, he baits witnesses with soft-voiced ruthlessness and brazenly plays on the jury's sympathies. His well-modulated performance demonstrates a principle that jurists and film makers alike should remark: solid courtroom drama ought...
