Only at the very end of the film does Director Joshua Logan's hand lose its expert competence: in their reconciliation, Murray and Marilyn are allowed to chew a bit too much scenery, and the CinemaScope closeups are so brobdingnagian that the pores on the actor's face stand out like craters on the moon...
Last week the Spanish Ministry of Labor gave the café habitues something real to chew on. It approved a new 42-hour week for insurance employees−but provided that they work from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. without a luncheon break.

...better-dressed, better-mannered politico than his father (Herman likes to chew tobacco, but generally settles for ten cigars a day), Talmadge Jr. ran an efficient state administration, is a successful farmer and lawyer as well as a bitter-end segregationist. He promises as a Senator to work to reverse the Supreme Court's school-desegregation decision and to restrict the court's power generally. He refers to the nine Supreme Court Justices as "a little group of politicians [who have] not had enough experience to handle one chicken thief in Mitchell County" (the bottom of Georgia...
