...president of the New York Stock Exchange, the citadel of American capitalism, is a happily extraverted man in a grey (or sometimes blue) flannel suit who seems little different from the hundreds of other commuters who ride the 8:09 (or sometimes the 8:17) from Greenwich, Con., to Manhattan every weekday. But George Keith Funston is a man with a mission; he wants to make every American a capitalist. His method: persuade every American who can afford it to buy stock in: corporations, thus share in the amazing yet steady growth of the American economy...
When Ed was five, another of the six surviving children died, and his parents decided that Manhattan was no place to raise a family. They moved to Port Chester, an industrial town on the Connecticut state line, ringed by such suburban garden spots as Greenwich and Rye. As a boy, Ed gave his interest to reading and sports.

The guest turned out to be an artist wanting a show for his watercolors. But today the gallery is a must for art critics and gallery owners on the hunt for dark horses...
...picture, Janet Leigh and Betty Garrett play the ambitious sisters from Ohio who invade Manhattan, settle in Greenwich Village and have assorted adventures with the local bohemians, the native wolves and a large part of the Brazilian navy. Janet is decorative, particularly when she romps artlessly about her basement apartment in scanties. but Comedienne Garrett's wit is more often brash than beguiling. In general, the film is callow where it should be young, and supported by dogged energy rather than a bubbling gaiety. In mid-film, Jack Lemmon adds some bracing laughter to the show with a slapstick...
