...Director Stanley Kramer out of Novelist Katherine Anne Porter's mordant allegory concerns a German vessel bound from Veracruz to Bremerhaven during the early 1930s. Despite the Meaningful Dialogue they have to spout, Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner provide fast company for the long haul...
...made upon its productive capacity, U.S. industry thus has both the cash and the incentive to expand. More and more industries are making longer-term plans, paying less attention to possible short-term fluctuations in the economy and more attention to likely expansion and markets over the long haul. The aerospace industry is making hard plans for ten years ahead and estimates for 30. Detroit automakers have already begun firm planning in the expectation that "normal" yearly sales will be 9,000,000 cars by 1970 and 11,000,000 by 1975. The steel industry, in one small area east...
...contrast, The Looking Glass War is totally dehumanized. Leamas is believable; Leiser is not. The book's tension depends not so much on Leiser's spying mission to East Germany as on the efforts of a scorned and inferior arm of British intelligence ("the Department") to haul itself back into the Establishmentarian swim on Leiser's shoulders.

The Trials of O'Brien (CBS) is about a lawyer, but, as portrayed by engaging Peter Falk, O'Brien may be TV's first loser-hero...
...cracks tragic jokes about it. The stuff of Let Me Count the Ways would be funny if De Vries' characters didn't bleed. Is it comedy or tragedy, for instance, when Stanley Waltz, the Polack piano mover in this slice of Midwestern life, ruptures himself trying to haul his piano-sized paramour into the bedroom? Is it really hilarious that Stanley spends night after night in his own yard watching his own wife undress, and must then justify this irrational behavior to the police? And when another misadventure exposes him to public humiliation, what is the proper reaction...
