...superb court jester. Not only is he madly ridiculous in his quivering intensity as the mad poet, he is incredibly coordinated as he juggles--with three balls, mind you--or somersaults or tweaks noses with a paddle-ball. He and his comrade the Captain (Michael Farrell) are rescued from hunger by Leander (George Sheanshang) and Crispin (Warren Motley), who have established credit with the Innkeeper (Richard Anderson) by means of fancy clothes and fancy talk. Motley is a sleek, clever confidence man, putting it over on everybody, even his friend Leander, who in the end turns against his sneaky wiles...
...means leaving Uli near sunup on the third run and dodging dawn-patrol Nigerian MIGs. But three flights are almost impossible. Diversions because of the Intruder eat up time; so does the fact that Uli can accommodate only eight planes easily and gives priority to the gunrunners. Weakened by hunger, Biafran ground crews sag noticeably unloading second or third flights. When the Ilyushin drops one of its bombs, the Biafrans vanish, leaving the plane crews and church officials to offload the cargo themselves. Twenty-four missions in one night is the squadron record. The average is closer to half that...

The son of a well-to-do lawyer, Schoolboy Freeman was converted to socialism by the sight of Depression hunger marchers in 1931. As a young Member of Parliament, he was spotted as a comer by no less a judge than Winston Churchill. But in 1951, he joined another ambitious young Laborite named Harold Wilson in resigning noisily from the socialist administration to protest Britain's rocketing defense spending...
...film for that reason; but this particular portrayal is extremely funny. Of course the love is not the normal give-and-take love of the mental-hygiene textbooks. Instead of turning the play--which Marcus subtitled a comedy--into one of your modern tedious exposes of shallowness and love-hunger, Aldrich has created a flawed but solid delight...
