...charming smile and a "lasso" gleam. Now try to get rid of her for that terrific blonde who just walked in. See what I mean? It's a little more difficult than Radar, isn't it? There, you can always turn the dial or something--but now you'se stuck. Congress says...
...Dewey, talking to newsmen, stuck to his declaration of last November that he would not be a candidate. And he risked alienating corn-country support when he urged Midwestern farmers to reduce their pig population so that they could send feed to the East, thus avert an Eastern milk famine. At this point, many a newsman decided that Tom Dewey really was not seeking the nomination. Others thought he merely reflected the belief of most patriotic citizens that a quick solution of wartime problems is more important than political ambition...
...fanaticism stagger the imagination. The very violence of the scene is incomprehensible to the Western mind. Here groups of men had met their self-imposed obligation, to die rather than accept capture, by blowing them selves to bits.

Then there is the uproarious moment when the sheet falls off the stretcher, revealing that Costello is really walking down the street holding before him a pair of crutches with shoes affixed to their ends. The boys' gagmen have apparently been busy with one of the largest card indexes in Hollywood. The picture comes closest to comic originality...
