...songs are good-notably one in which Crooner Frankie Vaughan says with fervor, in effect, never mind good lyrics, "give me a song that sells"-and the plot no thinner than most. The supporting actors are expert, especially Tony Randall, who plays Montand's pressagent with an accurate blend of servility and fresh-faced eagerness. One reason why the film, although consistently pleasant, is only fitfully funny may be a plague now widespread in Hollywood movies. Milton Berle, Gene Kelly and Bing Crosby appear in brief "cameo" parts as themselves (they are supposed to be teaching Montand...

He demands the same rare blend of qualities in his crew: men with the sharp will to win, but with temperaments that will not snap under the stress of a race. Finisterre's crew members, whose average age is close to 50, are completely interchangeable. A crack helmsman, Mitchell always handles the starts but thinks nothing of giving up the wheel if he feels his touch is off. Chick Larkin, a plastics engineer from Buffalo, and Cory Cramer, a New Haven...
