Just before 8:30 one morning last week, an olive drab Cadillac rolled down the ramp to the underground parking lot of the Pentagon Building. Its passenger, cap set ever so slightly at a rake, stepped out, pulled down his trim, suntan Eisenhower jacket and strode toward the elevator. Pentagon workers did not need to glance at the five-star circlets on his shoulder straps to know who he was. They gave him "good morning." General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower grinned his acknowledgments, got into the elevator, was soon in his third-floor office and busy...
...Dark red veterinary petrolatum took first place with scientists as a sunburn lotion. Called in by the Army to test suntan preparations for marooned sailors and airmen, G.E. tested 13, turned thumbs down on some of the more highly advertised, water-soluble products.

The movie as a whole presents the unhappy spectacle of a brilliant artist screaming his lungs out in an effort to make up for the fact that he has, for the moment, nothing...

In the summer he likes to go to the Atlantic Beach Club at Long Beach, Long Island, to dabble in the surf and suntan himself for a hard winter in doors. But now he was losing his tan; all last week Billingsley had been kept from the beach by New York's hen-shaped May or LaGuardia. On the previous Saturday night the Mayor had sent four uninvited characters into the lush decor of Billingsley's famed blue-and-gold Stork Club...
