...deep-sea-fishing, airplane-flying, labor unioneer (Newspaper Guild) daughter of the late publisher of the New York Daily News; and Artist Ivan Le Lorraine Albright, 50, whose specialty is such uncomfortably detailed pictures of decay as Into The World There Came A Soul Called Ida and the Dorian Gray he painted for MGM: a son, their first child (she had two by her previous marriage); in Chicago. Name: Adam. Weight...
...Denham might find it hard to get along with some of his board members.

Green for Danger (Rank; Eagle-Lion) is just another proof that the British, too, can make mediocre pictures. It is an affable, rattletrap murder mystery about a couple of doctors (Trevor Howard and Leo Genn), a few nurses (Sally Gray, Rosamond John, etc.) and an anesthetizing apparatus which, to everybody's dismay, induces the big sleep...
