...picture has plenty of love interest (Anne Francis and Gia Scala), and even provides something in the way of a battle. Lieut. Siegel at one point sees service on a heavy cruiser-but it's only she-duty. He is assigned to look after a lady correspondent (Eva Gabor), who is all too easily persuaded to part with her panties, which are next seen fluttering from the halyards as the ship goes into battle.

Costs are lower ($8 an hour for a violinist v. $42 in the U.S.), the big stars are on hand for Europe's summer festivals and therefore easier to get at, glamour names like La Scala Orchestra and Chorus help to boost sales back home. Philips, Columbia's European affiliate, has snapped up the San Carlo Opera House in Naples, HMV-Angel has moved into Milan's La Scala and London-Decca into Florence's Teatro Co-munale.
