...concession to Russia brings suspicions of a sellout. Hence West Germany's anguish last week at the transatlantic reports that the U.S. might trim down some of the six combat divisions on the Continent. SENSATIONAL U.S. PLAN WITH DRAWAL OF COMBAT TROOPS, shrieked Frankfurt's Abendpost. Asked Hamburg's Bild-Zeitung: THIS QUESTION CONCERNS US ALL: HOW MANY AMERICANS REMAIN IN GERMANY...
...gives only occasional thought to die Flucht-the flight before the Russians 18 years ago-and other hideous memories of an early era. On Berlin's Kudamm, which Christopher Isherwood would never recognize, Germans twist-and twist and twist-though they live skin-close to the Communists. In Hamburg, Max Schmeling is proud of his gleaming Coca-Cola bottling plant, where he arrives each morning like any other businessman. On the same street, kids hurry off to school, blissfully ignorant of Schmeling or Hitler or Bismarck. Then from every window appears that national German banner, the feather bed being...

...looks stupid in a stupid part. Schell, in a role demanding virility and violence, behaves like a hysterical girl. March, for want of anything better to play, plays March. Wagner at least gives the customers something to snicker at. His sunny California accent sounds gloriously silly in foggy old Hamburg, and when he walks in to take over the family firm, he looks wildly out of place. It's as if Prince Valiant had come barging, bright-eyed and brainless, into the big board room at General Motors...
