Into the oak-paneled upper hall of Villa Hügel, the forbidding, 200-room castle outside Essen where the Krupp munitions dynasty has lived for 81 years, went 500 veteran workers one morning last week to hear a report on Krupp's affairs. Never before had any Krupp ever condescended to report to his employees; never before had any worker been invited to the "House on the Hill."

Author Reginald Rose's dialogue was blunt and crisp, with an authentic cadence and idiom. When a social worker (Robert Preston) asks Frankie why he is at home, just lying on his crumpled, ratty bed, he gets an unforgettable cry of anguish masked in a snarl: "Because I got a hole in my shirt and my brother's wearin' my underwear and my mother...
