...should stand. Consequently, he seems a bit over detached. Claude Rains, as Sir Claude, although he reads his lines extremely well, seems to have an equally difficult time of deciding whether he should be hard and dominating or confused and sentimental. He is a little too much of the Latter. Newton Blick makes an excellent Eggerson, however. He is a blessed soul, completely at terms with the world...
...exactly perceive the nature and scope of the Russian threat, the situation in China before and when the Communists took power, nor America's necessity for taking world leadership.

Retroactive ceremonies in behalf of the dead, Mormons believe, help to bring salvation to the billions who have died during history with no knowledge of the Mormon faith. Thus the Latter-day Saints are famous for their genealogical diligence; teams fan out from Salt Lake City headquarters to search genealogies all over the world that the dead may be known and saved with the aid of the living. Similarly the "sealing ceremony" vicariously marries up couples of modern Mormons' ancestors-eventually...
