...arch-valiant London waif, decides to have her baby anyway. She wouldn't dream of darkening her parents' door, and they have left for Africa anyway. She is too proud to tell the father (Ian McKellen), a BBC TV announcer who was only with her for one gravid night. Apparently she takes a dim view of his husbandly potential in any case, though she likes to gaze at him wistfully on the telly...
...cockney Casanova, Alfie leaves behind him a trail of broken hearts and gravid wombs. If worse comes to worst, Alfie is game to arrange an abortion, though not quite up to paying for it. In the lost lingo of yesteryear, Alfie is a bit of a cad, and it might follow from this that he is repellent. Quite the contrary.

In our detestimation, the reviewer (what reviewed the book) was in his own spite like unto a hard dazed knight charging a fat breezy windmill on a three-legged horse.

But half a million is a lot of words in which to make that point obscurely. One wag has dubbed the book "the Ninth Symphony of Viennese...
Amen. Aware that at Warner's Rachel Cade (the story of an unmarried, gravid female missionary) is being filmed, and that at United Artists, Elmer Gantry (Sinclair Lewis' story of a hypocritical preacher) is in process, other moviemakers complained that sex and violence are not the real issue. The council, they charged, is really worried about pictures that include criticism of the church. Such pictures have long been submitted as a matter of course for suggestions; today the industry is beginning to think twice about accepting such correction. Producers question the possibility of ever getting the council...
