...spring of 1853, just as the Big Ditch is freed of ice, Dan Harrow (Henry Fonda), a big, quiet farm boy, signs on as a mule driver for the summer. In Hennessy's strictly moral canal hotel at Rome (immoral canal hotels could be identified by their white chimneys), Dan meets Molly Larkins (June Walker).

Always the King is represented as a tower of moral strength, aiding his conscience-torn Scottish Prime Minister to decide between Labor and the Nation. Last week this pristine royal legend was rudely spattered. At it gnomish, crippled Philip Snowden, splenetic Viscount Snowden of Ickornshaw, heaved the clods of his second volume of autobiography...
