Showman Billy Rose throve on paradox. He was a tiny man who loved tall girls, an East Side slum product turned art patron and esthete, a Broadway hipster who became a shrewd Wall Street investor. Though he died six months ago, leaving an estate that may run as high as $50 million, the para oxes are not ended - Billy Rose has yet to be buried...
...Bones, or some variation on that," Finis. At Harvard, he added, "In general, he does not hear his friend, who has no name. That is, I know his name, but none of the critics have come on it yet," Henry proves to be a lonely, lecherous, whimsical, unstable academic hipster in the process of growing old, with an extraordinary talent for becoming the people and things he likes.

After a hitch in Army intelligence, he started his professional writing career...
Filmed in Kenya, Moses too often skips over the dignified Masai and the glorious scenery in order to study the breed of wildlife Hollywood knows best. One cat is Ubi (Raymond St. Jacques), a troublesome tribal hipster who has lived in Harlem, and can spout such phrases as: "You goofed it, daddy." Ever wary of what Ubi may do, Mitchum scarcely can find any time for Carroll Baker, who speaks a few words of Swahili rather competently and lets the rest of her lines fall where they may. Actress Baker behaves in a manner befitting a missionary's daughter...
