...throughout 1958 the U.S. was helped-inevitably to some, unexpectedly to others-by Communism's continuing demonstration, in the execution of Hungarian Patriots Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter, the persecution of Russian Poet-Novelist Boris Pasternak, the mass herding by Mao of millions of Chinese into communes, that Communism is by definition implacably and unchangingly sinister-hence vulnerable...

Producer George Pal has managed to mingle puppets, live actors and animated cartoons with such skill that not once can the spectator see the embarrassing seam where two sorts of cinema meet.

...condemnation of the Soviet Union and the puppet Hungarian regime for "continuing repression of fundamental rights of the Hungarian people . . . under the shadow of the continuing presence of Soviet armed forces," and added a new event of 1958 to deplore: "the execution of ex-Premier Imre Nagy, General Pal Maleter and other Hungarian patriots." The vote to condemn was 54-10 (the Soviet bloc and Yugoslavia voting against). The 15 abstainers were mostly neutralist Afro-Asian countries (India, United Arab Republic, Iraq), plus Greece and Finland...
