Unlike his potent conservative' rival, Ohio's John W. Bricker, 38-year-old Harold Stassen sees no advantage in having a sounding board in the Senate. Instead, he has a two-year plan. He intends 1) to visit Russia, Europe, South America for firsthand study, 2) to talk international and domestic issues in the 48 states. To the G.O.P. Old Guard this was clear notice that he would also be trying to build a 1948 organization. A man as determined as Stassen could not be held lightly...
...Hollywood sense of the word-even the fascist is an understandable human being. Nowhere have the Swiss fallen into the trap of personifying evil in well-known typed characters: the snivelling, mustached Italian informer, the hard-bitten, blond German storm trooper, or the bloated soap-box Mussolini. Instead, they have kept evil as a massive force--the German Army or War--against which everyone in the film is pitted; the result is a refreshing relief from the run-of-the-mill war movie technique...

Some of their jigsaw abstractions looked as if they had played with kaleidoscopes instead of seeing a circus. Léger's Acrobats with White Horse and slant-eyed, four-ringed Chinese Juggler (see cut) were the hit of the show, as they were meant...
...also means that he may be able to buy articles now off the market. For cheap articles, he may pay considerably more than he did before the war. But if the policy works, he will save money in the end by being able to buy cheap goods again instead of expensive substitutes. Most encouraging of all was the evidence that Bowles and businessmen were beginning to think along the same lines...
...plain, ordinary guy from Arizona (well played by Cinemactor Dean Jagger) is hobnobbing with a Duke (Robert Morley), visiting the ducal estate, making eyes at the Duke's granddaughter (Anna Neagle). The girl falls head over heels in love with the Yank sergeant, decides to marry him instead of a suave, handsome British officer (Rex Harrison). The Duke smiles on the match. In the end, only the fortunes of war prevent an alliance which would have electrified Arizona and doubtless demolished forever the legend of a snobbish British uppercrust...
