Anyone who thinks the machine will subdue the man is in for a head-spin. No machine, man, or woman can tame Valentine Brose. When he applies for the boilerman job, he hopes the hours will permit him to collect his unemployment checks from a previous job. During the interview with Works Manager Price (Dana Elcar) he exudes balmy assurance, balmy panic and total inertia: "I'm satisfactory all right. Always been...
