Said Mitchell: "I have enough faith in the basic health of the American economy to state that by October of this year there will be 67 million people at work, 3,000,000 more than there are today, and that unemployment will be 3,000,000 or less.

Nor was the crowd too upset that Britain's Wendy Hiller was named Best Supporting Actress for her relatively small role in Separate Tables...

A musical director at M-G-M when he was barely 19, Previn has since juggled the careers of arranger, composer, conductor, concert pianist and jazzman, and kept each in the air without missing a beat...
