...William Holden plays a hard-drinking hack screenwriter, given exactly 48 hours to hatch a movie script. He is assisted by Audrey Hepburn, the loveliest little stenographer a hack ever had, who reports to his Paris hotel suite with an overnight bag full of Givenchy originals. While falling in love on the job, Hepburn and Holden imagine themselves to be the hero and heroine of a movie within a movie: a master criminal steals the print of a film called The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower and holds it for ransom. Got it? Forget it. Lacking inspiration, Writer George...
...hopeless martinet-like Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai. He even establishes a gentlemanly rapport with the camp's commandant, who at heart is as decent as Erich von Stroheim in Grand Illusion. His troubles are with his own men-tough guys like William Holden in Stalag 17, wise guys like Steve McQueen in The Great Escape, irrepressible Englishmen like Dirk Bogarde in The Password Is Courage. But Ryan is in this-man's-army, and in the end he proves it by freeing singlehanded all 964 prisoners after joining in the silent murder of their...

And it makes its deliveries in its own fleet...
Businessman Marton, who looks like a Slavonic William Holden, learned many of his economic lessons in seven trips to the U.S., and is fond of repeating such familiar free enterprise lines as "The customer is always right" and "We have to grow or die." He particularly believes the latter, and has just embarked on an ambitious plan that aims at nothing less than converting Sljeme into, as he puts it, "a Yugoslav combination of Howard Johnson's, Safeway and Swift, with a little Conrad Hilton thrown in." Marton intends to spend $50 million by 1970 to build restaurants, motels...
