...simple, dumpy little priest, taking literally the pronouncement that faith can move mountains, effects extraordinary miracles to the consternation of Christendom. Author Hampson, emerging from a background of sports and the theatre, is remembered for his lively and dramatic tale about an English pub, Saturday Night at the Greyhound...

For pleasure, Lawyer Simon likes a trip to Europe, but Lawyer Barringer goes to Miami, frequents greyhound races. Kruger acts as well as Barrymore but The Women in His Life lacks the cleverness and impact of Counsellor at Law. Good sound: Barringer's voice, hoarse with pneumonia and emotion, when he wakes up in a hospital after a drunken visit to the grave of his onetime...
