Third creature in Sartre's drawing room "hell of other people" is Nadine Duwez as the postal clerk lesbian. She stumbles in her lines occasionally, and sometimes shouts too much, but she prowls Director Hesse's "arena" with greater confidence than the other two; her motions are perfect; and the great portion of her dialogue is excellent...

...Naked and the Dead (RKO Tele-radio; Warner), to those who never read Norman Mailer's mammoth 1948 war novel, will seem a grim, visually gripping film. It is one of Hollywood's more rugged excursions so far into neorealism.
