...Germany would be ready without further ado to dissolve its whole military establishment and destroy the scanty remnant of arms left it if neighboring nations unreservedly do the same. . . . Germany is in the main agreed to accept a transitional period of five years for the establishment of its national security, in the expectation that after this period Germany's real equalization with other nations will occur. . . . The German Government sees in the English plan a possible basis for solution of this question...

The queen becomes a huge inert egg-laying machine with a production capacity of some 50,000 per day. The king is a tiny fellow whose main function is to be the queen's husband. They cohabit for life, which may last ten years. Their offspring feed them and each other with food either regurgitated or exuded through the skin.

Naturally Antiope falls in love with a Greek hoplite...
Because the main substance of the picture is true, original and, in its conclusion, daring. The Eagle and the Hawk is worth seeing. Gary Grant gives a sound performance as Jerry Young's bloodthirsty gunner. Jack Oakie's customary comedy role-of a young man overcome by breezy concupiscence-fits in well. Good shot: March, off for London on furlough, taking leave of Oakie, lounging in a bathtub on the lawn outside his quarters...
