...parts made in Hollywood are so shrewdly interwoven with those made in Russia that cinemaddicts will be unable to guess where one starts and the other stops. To make his coup perfect, Producer Berman imported famed Viennese Actor Anton Walbrook who had played the lead in the European version. In his first appearance on the U.

And much was omitted from the book; eclectic rather than exhaustive, it was well titled Something of Myself for My Friends Known and Unknown. Kipling was no digger of his own dust, and his book was intended as a monument, not an exhibition. But friends and enemies alike found in it something of both...
