...however, Bill Holden has been truly happy at nothing. The tensions of the troubled years are tearing at him still. On the one side is the rampant do-gooder he feels he ought to be, forever inveighing against public lust and private indolence, and especially against all the varieties of flimflam, backscratch and general phoniness in which Hollywood abounds. Yet, on the other hand, Holden is a man who in his time has admittedly fired off as many cannon-crackers as the next...
...takes a real man to live it. It is not a matter of lust. To take plural wives, a man doubles, triples or quadruples his responsibilities. He has more problems to solve. He must create a home in which harmony and selflessness prevail. He must provide. And it takes a real saint of a woman. She must overcome human weaknesses.

John Ireland, after quivering with rage and lust for 95 minutes, brings things to a happy conclusion by burning himself and Joan alive. Based on a novel by Edna Lee, the film is played as though it were a road company East Lynne, and though packed with synthetic violence, the only thing moviegoers need fear is the flying...
...under Israeli fire, Nasser, as he later wrote, reflected: "Here we are in these foxholes, surrounded, in danger, thrust treacherously into a battle we were not ready for our lives the playthings of greed, conspiracy and lust which have left us here weaponless under fire." Said a comrade, "Gamal, the front is not here, it is in Cairo." Nasser turned to the front, plotted a revolution, toppled a king and rose to be ruler of Egypt's 22,500,000, the most powerful, most energetic and potentially most promising leader among the long divided, long misled Moslems...
