He began by taking Lubar to task for what he said was TIME'S rough treatment of him. "But you thrive on it," Lubar remarked...
...Drole de Dame, also called "Bizarre, Bizarre," Director Marcel Carne dashes across the scene on his bicycle, gaily splashing mud on every English social cliche available. The hypocrite vicar, upstart servants and Scotland Yard all are thrown in to comment on the pitifully high state of English morals.

There may not be time for another call like this." Again, hundreds came forward. Most of Scotland's papers praised Billy to the skies. There were some scornful dissenters (wrote a columnist in the Evening News: "The final scene nauseated me.").
