...rapidly mounting reputation in Manhattan advertising agencies and smartcharts, but he is very different from Izzy Kaplan. Always immaculately groomed, with an impressive acquaintance among New York's bright young people, he flash lights all the swankier bars, nightclubs, balls, routs & receptions. With determination and no little skill Photographer Zerbe has dedicated his life to recording the lives of the champagne set in its moments of abandon. A harvest of his finer fruits was assembled by Publisher David Kemp last week and issued in book form with an introduction by a still more spectacular young man named Lucius Morris...

He knows life and love and communicates the sensuous expression of these naturally and convincingly...
Cinemaddicts, familiar with the story of We Live Again, should be pleasantly amazed at the skill with which one of Hollywood's most extravagant producers interprets Tolstoyan Socialism. Instead of being, like the two previous versions, the old tale of young love reunited, We Live Again is comparatively faithful to its Russian original. In the earlier sequences where young Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov (Fredric March) goes to church with Peasant Katusha Maslova (Anna Sten), before seducing her in a greenhouse. Director Rouben Mamoulian allows his fondness for his scene to delay his story. Later, when Dmitri, a bearded patrician...
