...more concrete than mere psychological warfare. In the past four weeks Khrushchev has effectively reminded everyone that at no cost to himself he could make it extremely awkward and expensive for the West to stay in Berlin. Last week from Central Europe came reports that, after threatening the whip, the Russians were about to hold out a carrot. Reported terms...
...marvel is that this pride of cinema lions could be confined in one cage without roaring each other down. Director Mann has obviously cracked the whip, but some of the credit also belongs to Author Rattigan, whose script is the very model of a lion act-the exits and entrances precisely timed, the terrors tactfully spaced, the total effect not seriously disturbing but guaranteed to make the customers forget their troubles in the simple animal pleasure of watching someone else...
