...ought to be the top-rated comedy of the year. It will join-perhaps for the last time-two of the prettiest, wittiest comics in Hollywood. Mary can wrap an insult in velvet and put down a lover so gently that he never knows what happened until he wakes up on the sidewalk outside her apartment. Valerie can sketch a character with a series of straight lines and give an audience a solid minute of funny faces-without spilling a grain of makeup or a scintilla of style...

They were the reception committee for Franklin Roosevelt, returning from the greatest fishing trip that any President of the U.S. had ever undertaken...
Simple in essence, but by no means so simple as they sound, Mr. Propter's ideas boil down to this: "Time and craving, craving and time-two aspects of the same thing; and that thing is the raw material of evil." Good, impossible within time, exists only on the animal level and on the level of eternity, of "pure, disinterested consciousness." That level is attained in the loss of wilfulness, of desire, of personality...
