...LITTLE FOXES. Lillian Hellman's 1939 drama is in that old-fashioned form, a play with a plot. Mike Nichols draws driving performances from Anne Bancroft, E.G Marshall and George C. Scott as members of a predatory Southern family with taste for pillage...
...where the action is. During seven years in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, the past two of them as its chief, the lanky, intense attorney has had action aplenty. He has faced down mobs of angry, riotous Negroes as calmly as he has forced rough-knuckled Southern sheriffs to obey the nation's laws against discrimination. Almost singlehanded, Doar pried open the South's voting booths for the Negro by personally prosecuting more than 30 voting-rights cases in federal court, since 1960 has participated in every major civil rights case from the admission...

With annual savings from combined operation as high as $41.7 million, the new giant should emerge as one of the most profitable railroads in the country...
Leslie Howard's delicately crafted Ashley Wilkes manages to embody both the glamor and the shoddiness of the Southern gentleman myth. Set against Gable's robustness, his sensitivity and final impotence illuminates the inadequacy of the chivalric code of honor in nineteenth-century industrial America. Olivia de Havilland triumphantly transforms the ludicrously good-natured Melinie Wilkes into a full-blooded character. Thanks to Miss De Havilland, Melanie's mild goodness becomes a genuine and ever-increasing source of strength for the other characters. The film wisely refrains from showing the scene in which she restores Gable's sanity; we have...
