...John King Mussio of Steubenville, Ohio, in the current issue of the Catholic weekly, The Ave Maria. The corrupt Catholic politician, he continued, "is neither Catholic nor a politician. Speaking bluntly, he is a cheap crook who uses the faith as another gimmick to help get him into the lush field of easy pickings...
Many other aspects of the movie serve admirably to heighten the adventure and the atmosphere. The new color style, a blend of black and white with technicolor--is an ideal compromise between the prosaic and the lush. The musical score is appropriate.

And there were a few prize phonies whom Barbara learned to shun by the chromium on their cars and the fact that their "checks were least...
Blue Rose (Columbia). An inspired teaming of Songstress Rosemary Clooney and Bandman Duke Ellington. The Duke's crew is in a lush mood, and Rosie sings her swingingest-despite the fact that she sang the lyrics on the West Coast and he played in Manhattan. Taped at her best, in such famed Ellington originals as Mood Indigo and I Got It Bad, she actually sounds like that late princess of vocalists, Ivie Anderson...
