...swing, where the camera closes in on her face while his hands are plainly busy elsewhere ("Oooo," she gasps, "Ah feel so weak"), pushes her toward the brink by the pigpen, and apparently ends up with her in the crib after she coyly suggests that he take a nap ("Yew c'd curl up and let the slats daown"). Later, when the heroine murmurs "I feel cool and rested, rested and cool for the first time in my life," it may strike some moviegoers that the language of Tennessee Williams, no less than his subject matter, often seems...

...overdo, J.D.R. Jr. is still the head of the clan. Each day in The Eyrie he rises at 7, breakfasts at 8 (he takes no coffee, no tea), starts work on his projects at 9.

In a short while the Eisenhowers and their weekend guests, Walter Reed Hospital Commander Major General Leonard Heaton (who performed the ileitis operation) and Mrs. Heaton, were all soaking up an afternoon nap. A double celebration was in order for the weekend: it was the Eisenhowers' 40th wedding anniversary, the Heatons' 30th.
