...back in the late 1940s, American paintings have been getting bigger and bigger. To show the lengths-and heights-that artists are going to nowadays, Manhattan's Jewish Museum this week put on display 23 mural-size paintings, with a total area of 2,883 sq. ft. The smallest, James Bishop's Story, is a mere 61 ft. sq.

The Senate had voted for an immediate 10 per cent limitation starting the next session of Congress...
Director Robert Aldrich (Flight of the Phoenix) gets convincingly raw, tough performances in even the smallest roles. Marvin comes off best with his customary abrasive humor, but he is given strong support, especially by Cassavetes and Brown, the retired Cleveland fullback who seems to be running toward a promising new career. Thanks to them, The Dirty Dozen proves that Hollywood does best by World War II when it does it straight...
