...early rider on the Eisenhower bandwagon. Ros raced to New York for the Madison Square Garden rally for Ike, and campaigned vigorously up & down California. Her superb money-raising techniques were put to work for the Republicans. Her only campaign failure: she was unable to corral her family into a solid bloc behind her candidate. Sister Mary Jane stubbornly voted for Stevenson...
Gold Coasting, which has no spoken lines or narration, was written by Nelson Galassi. Mr. Galassi's script shimmers deftly over the problems of a sound track with music as the only rider.

With Bette Davis not pacing the show, Two's Company alternately spurts and slumps. There are such pleasant-enough Vernon Duke tunes as It Just Occurred...
