...same thing that Leader Robinson had made a joke of. His children, grandchildren, wife and friends following in four cars behind, the President rode hatless to the Capitol. His secretaries clucked their tongues at the wreaths of mist which hung about their bareheaded chief as he swung up a ramp to the House wing. On the arm of his son James he passed into the well of the House and after a round of applause and a volley of cheers, began to deliver his message to the first and only regular session of the 73rd Congress...

This and other paraphernalia in The Devil Is Driving-an airshaft into which a sedan topples, a narrow two-way ramp full of blind corners-make it a peculiarly stagey exposé. The garage is an interesting and elaborate caution to curious motorists. In addition to its ramps and airshafts, it contains a mechanic stupider than most real ones (Guinn Williams), a speakeasy with onyx bar, a suite of offices in which a racketeer (Alan Dinehart) operates with...
