...again and again "in humility and gratitude and ecstasy." George runs a traveling caravan that swizzles bourbon with its brimstone, and Salome, or Angel Baby, as they call her, hooks up. Brother George was long ago spliced to Mercedes McCambridge, a twisted, Bible-quoting shrike, but their platonic trailer-camp marriage is as punishing as purgatory. So those "illustrated sermons," in which Salome dances (not as her Biblical namesake but as Delilah of the "soft, yielding flesh and evil painted face"), give Preacher Hamilton the torments. Finally, Sister Mercedes, who cannot help noticing, has a conniption...
...miracle worker, Salome goes out of her head. Yet at film's end, for reasons known only to God and the moviemakers, she heals a crippled child just by praying over him.

It is also what directors of the Fruehauf Trailer Co. hoped to get when they elected him to Fruehauf's chairmanship-a post he will hold in addition to his Detroit Edison job. An expert in red-tape cutting, Cisler takes over at Fruehauf from Roy A. Fruehauf, 52, whose family founded the firm. Eased out as Fruehauf Trailer's chief executive 18 months ago, Roy Fruehauf must face a recently revived indictment accusing him of making an illegal $200,000 loan...
