Shake Hands with the Devil (Pennebaker; United Artists) turns a heap of expensive ingredients-James Cagney, Don Murray, Michael Redgrave, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dana Wynter, Glynis Johns-into an everyday Irish stew. Taken from a 1934 novel by Rearden Conner, the plot concerns a young American (Murray), a medical student in Dublin just after World War I, who finds himself innocently involved in "The Trouble." Pursued by the Black and Tans, he is spirited away by one of his professors (Cagney), who turns out to be a high officer in the Irish Republican Army. Grateful and idealistic, he joins...
George Mathews is pretty funny as Sir Toby Belch. But there is much more in the role than he has extracted from it; he doesn't even live up to his own last name. Michael Wager acts a suitably foolish Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and looks ridiculous in his red and azure clothes and yellow gloves.

...feast hosted by the city's top Red, drank toasts to peace, friendship, good relations, mutual understanding, culture, trade, U.S. youth, Soviet youth, U.S. women and Soviet women, broke out in I've Been Workin' on the Railroad and Auld Lang Syne.

Last week the medical world was evaluating a progress report by Dr. Michael P. Mandarino of Philadelphia's Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital that the plastic glue was 94% successful in the treatment of 250 cases...
...Visegrad but, when it did, men died resignedly. Early in the book, Author Andrić offers the most grisly description of an impaling since the Tartar Prince Azya was mounted on a stake and had his one eye gouged out in Henryk (Quo Vadis) Sienkiewicz's Pan Michael. Later, when the Serbs revolt against the crumbling Ottoman Empire, severed heads are as common on the bridge as melons used to be, but the townsfolk-always approving of good workmanship-remark that the Turkish executioner has "a lighter hand than Mushan the town barber." When the Austrians finally march into...
