With his quick mind (he quotes easily from Dostoevsky, Oscar Lewis and The American Scholar, as well as from the police manual), Durk rated first in his detective squad and rose uncommonly fast in the department. Last month he added another accolade to his police record when he received the Judge Jerome Frank Award for policemen who demonstrate "particularly commendable respect for the civil rights of individual citizens...
...director has come to the silver screen, which he bloodies considerably, from television commercials. He claims he likes to do commercials because everything happens quickly and providing him with a good chance for split images, slow-motion, and whatever else comes from the manual.

When TIME posed a choice of 20 musical mysteries for solution, Rosemary replied...

But the flight surgeon dutifully recites the Air Force manual's imaginary Catch No. 22: Naturally, anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy. So supernaturally, anyone who says he is too crazy to keep flying is too sane to stop. On such circular reasoning rests the plot, the dialogue, and indeed the film's essence...
