Moon Pilot (Buena Vista). Sacred cows, if skillfully milked, produce tuns of fun; but Hollywood usually avoids them because they often kick back. The more reason to be pleasantly surprised that Walt Disney, not specifically known for socio-political daring, should have herded three of these pampered critters-the FBI, the Air Force and the astronaut program -into the same plot. Under the deft manipulation of Director James Neilson and Scenarist Maurice Tombragel, they produce a fairly steady stream of healthy nonsense...
Most observers pick the Dodgers to win, but I think Walt Alston is capable of of keeping his multi-million dollar crew out of the running. Alston has a remarkable knack for platting young ballplayers who need to play regularly. Unless he is replaced by Durocher when the old Bums flounder in July, he may single-handedly keep Frank Howard and Willie Davis from becoming major league stars...

His supporters, including Emil Hornstein, his campaign manager, listen with horrified dismay and, unlike the reader, bury their misgivings. The plot is hand-me-down-hostile columnist, incriminating photograph, Communist smear-and between, Traver rambles on with flatfooted passion about half a hundred worthy causes dear to his heart. So dear to his heart, in fact, that Traver (in real life John Voelker) resigned as a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court to write this book. He should have stayed on the bench...
...Reckford, the bibliophile, also directed; Walt Jewell produced. Marshall Moriarty as Weber coughed exceedingly well, and Emilie Rahman as his daughter was enticing. Reckford, as Hobbes; Charles Bevard as Locke, and Judd Conway as Rousseau were properly raucous. Jack Henrikson made a bellowing Beowulf; Mary Doyle, a grucsome Grendel's mother; and Alan Horsley, a mushy Mathiez...
