...genuine leather, its deep bronze tone accenting the skim-milk white of Audrey Hepburn's cheekbones. Audrey, (whose back may be old from her front by the position of her face and the direction her shoes are pointing) will pursue Cary avidly. But he will grant her nary a peck--contending she's young enough to be his granddaughter--until the last hundred feet of film, when he'll propose...
Captain Newman, M.D. is a colossal, Eastman-Colored recruiting poster that makes a peculiar proposition: join the Air Force and see a psychiatrist. Unhappily, the Air Force turns out to be the same old Hollywood Air Farce; the psychiatrist (Gregory Peck) too often acts as if Captain Newman were Private Hargrove; and the moviemakers seem relentlessly determined to popularize psychosis. In this picture, paranoia is personable, sadism is scenic, catatonia is cute, and life on the funny farm is fun, fun, fun! It's fun to be truth-drugged by Psychiatrist Peck, a living doll of a twitch doctor...
Take Colonel Bliss (Eddie Albert), a brilliant staff officer who cracks up under the strain of command. After a few weeks under Peck's care he-come to think of it, Colonel Bliss commits suicide.

Dicey, Mumbo and Sheikie were bosomless chums at St. Agatha's, an all-too-proper girls' school in the south of England. They carried on like so many Peck's bad boys in bloomers, planted a gelignite bomb in a bicycle shed, conned free rides in horse-drawn victorias, raced down High Street frothing at the mouth with lemon sherbet powder to convince townspeople that they were possessed by devils. But their biggest adventure in that ill-fated summer of 1914 came the night they buried a coffer of "valuable treasure"-dog chains, bones, a message...
India won the skirmish, but the U.S. won the war. Ralston, the Peck's Bad Boy of tennis, for once kept his temper under control, beat Krishnan at his own sandy game, with short volleys and dinky drop shots that won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1, 13-11. Texas' Chuck McKinley, mounting the same kind of whirlwind attack that earned him the Wimbledon championship, needed only 72 minutes to dispose of India's Permjit Lall, 6-4, 6-3, 6-0. Ralston and McKinley then won the doubles to give...
