...throws a bit of bread away; it lands with a splash on the shimmering pond of the bottom screen. Most often it is employed to generate vertigo, as when a trapeze artist dangles above a crowd, or when two men have a highball-to-highball confrontation with a swiveling stripper...
...Harlem whip out their trusty Geiger counter and go lickety-click from Teheran to Geneva to Naples to Nice. En route they run a grim gauntlet of all-too-familiar thriller scenes (bang-bang on the Blue Train, hugger-mugger on the bad guy's yacht, hack-the-stripper in a nudie nightspot) and unpleasantly overripe chestnuts ("How'll we get there-take the midnight camel?").

...greatest manhunt in its history. Object of the hunt was Harry Maurice Roberts, 30, who is wanted "for questioning" in connection with the slaying of three London policemen on Aug. 12. To find him, Scotland Yard has mobilized every available man, questioned Roberts' estranged wife (a Manchester stripper known as "Mitzi the Pocket Venus") and all his friends. Roberts' mug shot has appeared on the front page of nearly every edition of nearly every newspaper in the land, together with police warnings that he is armed and dangerous and pleas to report him on sight...
