Alive and Kicking (music by Hal Borne, Irma Jurist & Sammy Fain; lyrics by Paul Francis Webster & Ray Golden; produced by William R. Katzell & Mr. Golden) turns bright just often enough to accentuate its general dullness. It is a mussy show; its acts don't move in procession, they merely pile up like wash.

...several of these comments suggest, many of these TiME-readers' recipes have not appeared in print before.

The first three movements are performed with more passion than pace; both the singing and the recording in the choral movement come off with some screeching and muffled sounds...
...town. Last week, almost three years later, Martin & Lewis were the talk of show business. At Manhattan's copious Copacabana, the team had just smashed an eight-year house record for receipts-and in the depth of a general nightclub depression. The first Martin & Lewis movie, My Friend Irma, in which they have supporting roles, would be shown this fall in first-run houses. NBC, which had just handed them a Sunday night radio hot spot (6:307 p.m., E.D.T.), was dishing out over $10,000 a week to break them into radio harness. (Variety seconded...
