Democrats Seiberling and Mann and Republican Wiggins ap peared close to tears. Almost all the "Ayes" were delivered in mournful, almost sepulchral tones. By contrast, the first "No" ? from Edward Hutchinson ? sounded buoyant and was accom panied by a thin smile...
...with the abortively comic exploits of a couple of hard-luck traffickers in grass. But overall the movie maintains high energy. There is one scene of true inspiration. At the end of the 6 o'clock news, the anchor man signs off and sits staring, smile firmly fixed, waiting for the fadeout and credits. Nothing happens.

"Jake" Gittis, private detective specializing in marriage difficulties, flushing his suave taunting smile and slender silver cigarette case--"you gotta have finesse." Nicolson does. And so, in this business of making thirties atmosphere detective thrillers, does Roman Polanski.
