...Eddy; I'm afraid of the wind . . ."). This blowy motif runs throughout the film: death's advent is always heralded by wind-driven snow, rain or autumn leaves. A stately newcomer, Australia's Victoria Shaw, is introduced as Duchin's second wife, and a pair of clipped-accented moppets (Mickey Maga and Rex Thompson) perform as the Duchin child at different ages. Moviegoers may enjoy the rippling piano notes (actually played by Carmen Cavallaro) that made Duchin a society favorite during the '30s, and there is one pleasant scene in which Power plays a duet...
Windbag Who Babbles. There is something odd about the man, Fletcher, a windbag who babbles about irrigating the Karroo with atomic power and establishing a world government on the lines of South Africa's present Nationalist regime.

"Sorry I had no chance to visit with you," he wrote, "but I must go into town and get to work. We've just begun to fight!-Yours, A.E.S...
...more capricious cubes as occasion demanded, the three picked up 2,300,000 francs ($6,570) between them. Then something went wrong; the Casino dice that Aggie had temporarily removed from the contest got stuck in his sleeve, and he had to pass the croupier a loaded pair. A cherubic, bow-tied observer with the look of a house detective tipped the nod to the croupier, who promptly raked in the dice, and the three Californians, sensing that their good fortune might be at an end, tiptoed softly out of the gaming room, past the well-tended Casino gardens...
