Little John, now 9½ Ibs. and smiling broadly, was bedded down next door in a white room with white woodwork. He slept in the same white wicker bassinette that was used by his mother and his sister...

Skillfully but not trickily panning across the pictures from face to face, scene to scene, Producer-Director Donald Hyatt achieves...
