Benito Mussolini's growing Roman Empire last week grew a very little more. On Good Friday it absorbed the very little Balkan Kingdom of Albania. Only that and nothing more. Il Duce's coup was neither more nor less cynical and coldblooded than those of Adolf Hitler. But added to all that has taken place in recent months, this small plus quantity of aggression all but upset the status quo in Europe. The brink of war, already almost worn out with Europe's trembling, was trembled on once more...
...Less than 50 miles across the narrow Straits of Otranto, at the Italian ports of Brindisi and Bari, gun crews were also active at the same hour.

The decision . . . [was] made by no less a person than Mr. Sam Goldwyn. Mr. Goldwyn is a legendary figure who has a fine autocratic way with the English language and chronology and things like that. . . . Still, the title is not everything; and its retention does not-witness among many others the conspicuous case of Bengal Lancer-at all imply that the film will be even remotely identifiable with...
