They know a world which well-to-do Agostino has never even glimpsed, a world of hardship and cynicism just beneath poverty-stricken Italy's thin skin of luxury and pleasure...
Gibney cabled: "Lieut. Jim Little, driving in the lead jeep, suddenly found himself staring down the barrel of a 50-caliber, machine gun only 45 feet away.

Montgomery Clift and Douglas each find girl friends in Berlin. Clift, who has sensitive sympathetic channels, is overcome by the signs of the stricken city and is drawn to his girl to the extent of wishing to take her into Holy Matrimony. She, however, is simply deluding him in order to get to a friend, who is presumably still a Nazi, in St. Louis. Douglas' girl trots through the picture asking insane questions about...
