Executive Suite (MGM) is loaded with enough big names to tear the marquee off the average movie house. William Holden, June Allyson, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, Paul Douglas, Louis Calhern, Dean Jagger and Nina Foch-all appear in this adaptation of Cameron Hawley's bestselling novel about big businessmen locked in a grim struggle for power.

But for years we have suspected that they are merely the careless lyricism of an exuberent soul. Indeed, for the past month we have entertained certain misgivings as to whether spring will come ata all this year...
...smile sympathetically at the young lady, but can only shrug our shoulders at the rest. Still, she and Shelley might have a point. Malenkov and McCarthy permitting, Spring may come to Cambridge this year after all. It's never missed an opening date...
