The talker (spieler) turned them in for 72-year-old Jim Jagger, fire eater ("I will amaze you by rubbing the burning torch over various parts of my body and anatomy"), a tattoo artist and human pincushion. The sword swallower put away a 10-in. blade ("I'll ram it down my bread basket and tickle my belly button").

...Roof is the fifth of Tennessee Williams' works to be put on the screen, following The Glass Menagerie, The Rose Tattoo, A Streetcar Named Desire, Baby Doll. In his four earlier films, Williams seemed to need a warmup of two backward steps before he could take one step forward, but at least the movement was visible and real.

...princely rogue (Richard Todd), his manner as cool as the Lagonda he drives, enters the villa and announces that he is her brother. He sports the right tattoo, recites her favorite rhyme, even knows how to mix the apéritif she guzzles before a swim. When she calls a friendly, reliable old uncle (Alexander Knox) to denounce the rascal, uncle celebrates his nephew's reincarnation. Then a couple of creepy, creeping servants jangle her nerves even more. Who is the hero? Is it the sad-mouthed police comisario (Herbert Lorn) who lurks in the shadows? Is there...

...French thought they had found the ideal man last May when they picked André-Marie M'bida, 40, to serve as first Premier of the semiautonomous French Cameroons, the California-sized territory near the equator on Africa's west coast. His forehead bears a blue tribal tattoo; he is a Roman Catholic; and like the French themselves, he does not want to rush into independence before the 3,300,000 African inhabitants are prepared for it.
