...quarantine this month, it has not yet answered any of the basic questions about the moon's origin. But if the moon is actually proved never to have had a molten interior (the maria melting could have been caused by meteor impacts), scientists would be hard put to sustain one of the theories of the moon's creation: that it was torn, cataclysmically, from a hot earth. On the other hand, a cold moon does not upset either of the two other major moon-origin theories: that it was formed from scattered cosmic debris whirling around the earth...
Since the film consists of one damnable bungle after another, it tends to lose its comic momentum, but there are enough insanely funny moments to sustain the picture. One bank robbery goes excruciatingly awry when Allen and the bank teller get into a testy debate about whether the piece of paper Allen has shoved through the teller's window does or does not read: "I have a gub."

There was an evident feeling for the ebb and flow of the beautiful melodies, lines which sing and soar over the often complex texture of this magnificent quintet. The new quality in their playing was the ability to sustain an idea to its conclusion. The "Dumka" section, a long movement, was well controlled, well balanced and one's interest was held to the end. The contrast between the first and second halves was so stunning that the faults of the second are buried...
