...week at 670.69 in the Dow-Jones industrial average. Even with a drop in trading, the 1959 volume was certain to be the heaviest since 1929. Totting up the commissions on the trading, brokers happily paid out the fattest year-end bonuses in many a season. At Paine Webber, the extra checks averaged nearly six weeks' pay; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith reported that its oldest employees were getting better than eight weeks' extra pay. In some smaller over-the-counter houses, with low overhead, employees got as much as nine months' additional...

Sam Levene is a deft low-comedy actor, Ellen McRae a fresh and attractive heroine, Robert Webber a likably convincing hero.
