Thompson, 38, stood in the lunch line three days before he was due to go to trial for his two-year flight from a 1949 conspiracy conviction (TIME, Sept. 7). Suddenly a fellow-prisoner behind him raised a length of lead pipe and brought it down twice on Thompson's head. Thompson slumped to the floor, bloody and unconscious...

There he is cozily greeted by wife No. i, a plain but devoted homebody (Celia Johnson) who puts out his pipe and porter, serves up his favorite dumplings, and answers dutifully to his call for "beddy-byes" at 10 p.m. Otherwise, as the captain explains, he would be "no use on the bridge...
