RCA Victor, Polaroid Corp. and Ford's Lincoln-Mercury found that traffic jumped appreciably in their showrooms and stores after a single showing on NBC's The Price Is Right, one of the fastest-rising shows...
...find irritatingly lacking in proletarian joy. The young workmen in The Most Sacred Words of Our Life are indifferent to their jobs, cynical and joyless. The young hero is lyrically awakened by a beautiful love affair with a tender and passionate girl. He leaves her in the morning to rush to work, and discovers that three of his fellow workmen have had the same girl, that she has spoken to them the identical, sacred words of endearment.
