...theme of A World of Love thus seems to have two major tenets: 1) it is not correct to live in the past, to seal oneself from the exigencies and rhapsodies of the present; and 2) the way to extricate oneself from such decadence is to search for a positive and present love. Undoubtedly, this theme may have present and cosmic significance, but I do not believe it either necessary or possible to trace its symbolic overtones.

...Kirk Douglas, take up most of the space in the submarine. But the actors become submerged in the Nautilus' travels and never seem to matter much in the story. Lorre, as the scientist's apprentice, is surpassed in his bid to provide comic relief by a very talented seal named Ezzy.

But he also learned that the big money lay in televising national sales meetings and other conventions for big corporations. In the past two years T.N.T. has televised eleven conventions for companies ranging from National Dairy (Seal-test) to James Lees carpets. At one such TV roundup, International Business Machines was able to brief 2,000 salesmen in Manhattan on a new electronic brain instead of bringing them to its Poughkeepsie, N.Y. plant in groups. Frankfort Distillers (Four Roses, Paul Jones) gave its salesmen in 19 cities...
