Strick, or his scriptwriters, must also be commended for the judicious selection of dialogue fragments here. Often, in Bloom's imaginings, single faces fill the screen as they thunder a brief phrase, then vanish and aren't heard from again. We have seen a bit of this in Lester's The Knack, but how much more delightful to have such phrases be Joyce's, to have instead of "Mods and Rockers!"

She opened the original in Mount Vernon, Me., in 1934, followed up in 1947 with a second in Phoenix. Described as "magic isles where cares and worries vanish," they prescribed a regimen of exercise, treatment, swimming and riding, all on an austere diet that ruled out fatty foods and liquor if the customer was overweight. Fees at Maine Chance have always been high (currently, $750 to $800 a week), and the clientele has included Mrs. Clark Gable...
