...real test came on Gore's amendment to prohibit the Government from paying income taxes for private firms under contract to AEC. Again, Knowland, keeping on the pressure, disregarded the script and asked that debate be limited. Gore said he would not operate under such restrictions, and if Knowland insisted on being "bullheaded, then-well . . ." Knowland backtracked, Gore talked only 20 minutes and the amendment carried by a voice vote. Johnson's diplomacy was working...
...Waterfront has a script that is a work of love and shows it. To the facts presented in Malcolm Johnson's 1949 Pulitzer Prizewinning stories on the New York waterfront (in the late New York Sun), Novelist Budd Schulberg (The Disenchanted) added the results of his own investigations.

One reason is that the first script has too much of the radio style about its dialogue, and not enough TV appeal. The few good visual touches that are used are ably exploited by Actor Cronyn. Example: visiting the local grade school on P.T.A. night, he first raises his eyebrows at a youngster's note...
