Major Cooper picks his first hero (Michael Callan) in a skirmish, and at the battle of Ojos Azules, a remarkably clear and exciting action sequence, he finds four more (Van Heflin, Tab Hunter, Richard Conte, Dick York). The colonel then puts Cooper and his heroes in charge of a U.S. citizen (Rita Hayworth) accused of giving aid and comfort (of a suggestively unspecified nature) to the enemy, and orders them north to Cordura, three days' ride across a waterless waste. On the way Cooper tells the men that they will be nominated for the Medal of Honor, and asks...
...hard not to see at least some Oppenheimer traits: he has "a universal mind," an otherworldly face and a mesmeric personality. Bloch also belongs to a Communist apparatus, but carries no party card. Young Mark Ampler, a U.S. security agent who enrolls at Bloch's university to keep tab on the physicist promptly falls under his spell. Pearl Harbor packs Mark off to war and sets Sebastian fervently to work on the Bolt, or the Monster, as Author Chevalier interchangeably calls the atom bomb. At war's end, a grieving, disbelieving Ampter discovers that Sebastian has made...

The tall towhead leans forward over the table, sternly wobbles his eyeballs, says: "I'm old enough to do anything." Sure enough, the script requires her to pick up the Tab...
...paratrooper without fear, brains or money. She is the mistress of an industrial titan (George Sanders), who keeps her in his elegant Manhattan mansion, where they "get along rather well in those rather delicate areas where it seems important for a man and woman to get along." Tab follows her there, mumbles that he loves her. But Sanders also thinks highly of her, proposes marriage, offers her a name "that's regarded rather like being named Windsor in England." Will she take the baby-faced lad, or will she marry the devoted gentleman with vaults of gold? Sanders gracefully...
