...gone over the manuscript again and again, tearing up thousands of sheets of paper, never happy with the often hazy images that his memory has supplied. Also, he is supposedly working on a screenplay about an aristocratic steamship passenger and a female stowaway, intending to star his son Sydney. He has also talked of a comedy about space travel. But most of that is idle whimsy. His last film, 1957-3 A King in New York (made in London), was a total critical failure and almost certainly put to death any serious desires Chaplin might have had to do anything...

Sydney wags suggested the name Spectre, an unkind play on the Sceptre. Britain's roundly trounced 1958 challenger. But the syndicate of Down Under businessmen (a newspaper magnate, an oilman, a tobacco tycoon) who had shelled out $700,000 to build her were optimistic about her chances against the U.S. next September. Said Syndicate Chairman Sir Frank Packer: "The Americans have had the cup for so long that when they give...
