...would suggest that if the democracies are sincere in their intentions toward the peace of the world, they appoint a commission to study the spiritual development of the Russian people as a people and as represented by their great and spiritual literature. Proceeding on the theory that the way to shut out the darkness is to turn on the light, I believe that such an undertaking would do much to fan to flame in the hearts of the true Russian people the Christian spark which once ignited can never be permanently...
...trusteeship idea is a bastard offspring of timidity and confusion. Where, in all the world, do these four powers work together with sufficient coordination to suggest they could jointly administer anything? How can Koreans believe that at the conclusion of five years of confusion and intrigue the trusteeship would actually end? Who can doubt that Communist agitation would be invoked to create such confusion that a prolongation of the trusteeship would appear "necessary...

With an urgent score by Hanns Eisler, Director Jean Renoir has concocted a climax in which two men quarrel at the top of their lungs against the deafening sound of squally water and orchestral fortissimo. To balance such experiments, which smack of artiness, Renoir has thrown in some solid domestic naturalism and an excellently staged Coast Guardsmen's dance. Best of all, he has eloquently suited the pale visual tone of the film...
