...witty script adapted from the Broadway play, the small cast carries off the film with a light touch and rapid pace, yet with a certain feel for real situations and natural reactions. David Niven is marvelously and hilariously restrained as the psychoanalyst who is not quite so tolerant of human inconsistencies when he discovers that his own fiancee has had a very interesting past. Barbara Rush plays his slightly tarnished True Love with typical feminine capriciousness. Ginger Rogers is very funny indeed as the wife who regularly pours out her troubles to her psychoanalyst, and she is more than matched...
...human has as yet tried the new seat, but Lockheed is so encouraged by fullscale, 1,000-m.p.h. trials at the Air Force's research track on Hurricane Mesa, Utah that the device will go into production before its test cycle is complete, probably by midyear.

The enlightened 20th century may seem considerably more fatalistic about its own disasters...
Perhaps the most heartening win for the Crimson came early in the match, when Cortesi won his sixth singles match from Yale's Bob McCoy in four hard-fought games, 17-16, 15-17, 15-11, and 18-15. McCoy, characterized by one of his teammates as "a human backboard," was one of Yale's so-called sure wins, since he had been undefeated at his position up until the Harvard match, and Cortesi's win over him, gave the team a strong push towards victory...
