...Delegate Knowland as "a bulldozer in the forest" on the question of sanctions for Israel. Knowland is urging consistent application of principles of international justice and morality to all nations alike; Dulles and Eisenhower have erected a crazy-quilt patchwork of inconsistency in foreign policy, and Knowland will lead them out of the woods if they will only stop and listen...

James Stinson plays her sympathetic husband with suitable low pressured earnestness. Roger Moldovan is more than effective in the lead, without being over-sentimental. Robert Hesse looks properly drunk and idiotic in the walk-on part, and Lee Jefferies is suberbly plastered as an old love of the hero who intrudes at an inconvenient moment...
