...delivered for the first hour or so, more & more tortuously protracted from there on out. Glenn Ford has a good deal of style as the young scoundrel, though he looks a couple of decades too callow to browbeat tungsten tycoons. George Macready, looking rather like an icicle outfitted by Wetzel, does nicely by his questionable assignment-which is to make a Nazi glamorous. But all in all it is Rita Hayworth's picture, and people who don't bother too much about the last several reels will enjoy sharing it with...
Refusing his half of the $25,000 offered by Count Marc de Tristan for the return of his three-year-old son, broad-shouldered Cecil Wetzel (who has three children) did a turn at a Los Angeles theatre instead, giving an account of the rescue (TIME, Sept. 30).

Then he swung his cane...
...group of congenial, practical-minded Jules Vernes. Perhaps the most important of these is Arthur E. Raymond. Son of the late Walter Raymond of Raymond-Whitcomb, he looks more like a professor than a boss. His first job with Douglas was filing fittings; now he is chief engineer. Harry Wetzel, general manager and the closest thing to a hard-hitting executive in the organization, studied industrial engineering at Penn State, subsequently served as aircraft production engineer in the U. S. Air Corps. Carl Cover, vice president for sales, had little to do with building DC-4, but in accordance with...
