...Lord Samuel's tribute to the BBC's Third Programme [TIME, Oct. 8] ... Since we first became acquainted with this remarkable broadcasting achievement, my wife and I have repeatedly, albeit less eloquently, voiced this same thought.

His broaching of his plot to Stanley Holloway, a manufacturer with the soul of an artist, is a masterpiece of delicate suggestion without a single incriminating word spoken. With Holloway safely in his pocket, Guinness displays equal ingenuity in recruiting two mobsters to handle the messier details of his plan...
