...snub-nosed young man who learned golf on a course built on the site of a Chinese graveyard near Tientsin, where his father was stationed as an Army officer, Lawson Little has given so much time to his game that at 25 he is still a Stanford undergraduate.

When he arrived in Manhattan, he was greeted by an army of reporters to whom he gave a characteristic...
Director John Ford has two salient qualities-a sharp objective style and the ability to make Victor McLaglen (usually cast as an awkward stooge for Edmund Lowe) reveal his formidable talents as an actor. Both were brilliantly displayed last year in The Lost Patrol. In The Informer, they become more noteworthy than ever in a picture that no sensible cinemaddict will want to miss. Good shot: Gypo giving a beggar a pound note, after making sure that he is blind...
