...Story of Robin Hood and The Sword and the Rose, Producer Disney spent no more than $1,500,000. He took a small crew of technicians and not very famed actors to the same ground his story was lived on-in this case the Scottish Highlands. There, among the dingy granges and the ancient trods of the Trossachs country, where the furry cattle stand and stare in the emerald braes as they have for hundreds of years, he set up his cameras. The players appear to feel themselves living again in an age of fable, charm-changed into people...
...principals in Rob Roy, Actor Todd and Actress Johns, are the same Disney used in The Sword and the Rose-Todd was in Robin Hood too-and they play the man and maid with a pleasant innocence and archaic grace. Actors Gough and Justice, also in the previous pictures, are admirable swashbucklers both.

As Queeg, Lloyd Nolan plays brilliantly, is as self-revealing when still in control as when losing control. Henry Fonda's sober courtroom Greenwald is in fine contrast both to Queeg and to Greenwald drunk.

...wraps off its 1954 models and a new Clipper Super series which will give it a complete range of cars from medium-priced ($2,500) to luxurious ($7,200) custom models. Except for rounding off the boxy look of earlier models, most of the changes were under the hood. Into Packard's Caribbean convertible has been put a new straight-eight, 212-h.p. engine with the highest compression ratio (8.7 to 1) in the industry...
