...invitation was ill-considered; any notion that he, after seeing the U.S. himself, will renounce force, is false...
G.B.S. made British General John Burgoyne an Act Ill-only character, but the moviemakers have wisely fattened up the part to the measure of Sir Laurence Olivier. As fox-sly "Gentleman Johnny," Olivier struts, smirks, sneers and, from under a preposterously foppish plume, spouts the withering witticisms that kept the original play stylish even while it was out of balance.

His Myra emerges first in peacetime Berlin, where Luke Cassidy, the novel's hero, is lecturing on English literature. He falls ill, and Nurse Myra ministers to him so angelically that later, after war has broken out, Cassidy feels he must see her again. He skips neutral Ireland to resume his post at Berlin University. Myra shows neither surprise nor joy when Cassidy returns from Ireland to announce his love and troubled decision...
