Brigadier Maclean understood the relationship of politics and warfare. He put down what he had observed about Tito in a report that landed, fat, thick, crammed with a story that even yet waits to be published, on the desk of Prime Minister Winston Churchill. That report, and Britain's need for any fighting ally, convinced Downing Street that its warm smile for Peter's exiled Government, and its cold shoulder toward Tito, would have to be reversed...
...perfectly awful mistake, but turns out to be pretty amusing. Its raw material is one of those five-&-dime stories about the sensitive multimillion-heiress (Laraine Day) who, eager to be sure that her lover (Alan Marshal) is not overvaluing the basely fiscal aspects of their relationship, swaps places with her secretary (Marsha Hunt) and all but bangs the pair's heads together. The surprising finished product is the result of the fact that the film is written by Phoebe and Henry Ephron, directed by Richard Wallace and played by the Misses Day and Hunt, Mr. Marshal, Allan Joslyn...

Jock proposes that when the long twilight of senility and retirement descends upon our new effervescent lives and we look not to the future, but back upon our glorious past, we will, as is customary, hearken back to the days we spent here at Harvard.

He is devoted as only an inarticulate, hard-shelled Pennsylvania Dutchman could be to his spritely family of women, fondly known as the "harem." Tooey may be tough on the troops, but with his three daughters he is "weak in the head"-this from no less an authority than his wife, dark-haired, good-looking Ruth Harrison Spaatz...
...advantages he and others had won for it. The Labor Minister's enormous powers over 33 million Britons, aged 14 to 64, enabled him to get on with the job, but not to keep his friends. Workers who had once followed him blindly came to distrust his close relationship with Churchill, his warm friendship with such Tories as Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, Minister of State Richard K. Law, Viscount Cranborne, leader of the House of Lords. A mounting rank-&-file revolt against Labor leaders in general and Bevin in particular produced a wave of unauthorized strikes in coal mines...
