These and a sprinkling of smaller photos of movie stars are all there is to the idea that the morals of the paper are weak, if you omit the private collection in the photo room. Even the interview with Gypsy Rose Lee was nothing a family tabloid would refuse to print...

Bitter Taste. These declarations are specific-perhaps more specific than the published postwar aims of the U.S. and Britain. But they leave many a forward-looking question unanswered.

...gets its performance under "Gone With the Wind" length, the German producers of "The Brothers Karamazov" are forced to omit huge chunks of plot. The entire tale of Aliosha, dreamy near-mystic and perhaps the hero of the novel, is scrapped to make way for the study of Dmitri Karamazov, his love Grushenka, and the intricacies of another brutal murder. The German production is good so far as it goes, but Dostoevsky fans will weep at the wholesale butchery of the novel. Anna Sten, as the seductive Grushenka, contributes a fine performance...
