Outlandish Goings-On. The trapped guests broke out a few minutes later and telephoned the management, which quickly summoned police. The officers interviewed victims and members of the hotel staff, and by around 9 a.m. narrowed the possible suspects to Aaron Legrand and Edward Steadley, who had checked into their first-floor room two days before. A policeman dressed as a bellboy went up to their room with the bill, and when one of the pair opened the door part way and asked him to slide it under the door, the officer, backed up by two other armed policemen, broke...
Like Summer of '42, on which it is cut to pattern, Our Time is made with a combination of calculated modesty and poignance. There is even the same sort of bubble-bath musical score by Michel Legrand to orchestrate the conveniently unhappy ending.

His constancy is ironic when compared to Holliday's actual experiences. Most of his maudlin lines are delivered to a slushy background of Michel LeGrand music. This combination of irony and inappropriateness is believable only because of Williams's acting; he somehow manages to deliver his lines so that his character seems strong. This strength, however, makes Billie by contrast much weaker because the audience finds it difficult to comprehend why she repeatedly turns...
