...clash with the church was likely only to increase his popularity among all the best Baganda families, who are traditionally delighted if the Kabaka seduces one of their daughters-in fact, that is how most of them became the best families. If Freddie throws off the hampering moral ties of Anglicanism, as he has been trying to throw off the political hold of Britain, the tribalists may in gratitude try to get rid of the progressives once and for all by restoring the Kabaka to his former status as absolute monarch.

...Long, Hot Summer (20th Century-Fox) bears only a remote resemblance to the William Faulkner tales on which it is based (The Hamlet, Barn Burning). The Hamlet, in which Author Faulkner aired the moral midden of Yoknapatawpha County in an ecstasy of disgust, is particularly strong stuff, and Producer Jerry Wald clearly had to clean up his subject for the screen. In the process, unfortunately, he converted Faulkner's county into a community almost as corny as Al Capp's Dogpatch, and reduced all the poetry of degradation to the customary commercial serving of fresh...
