Janet Leigh is engaging as the Southern belle who takes up with a courtly rake in a Manhattan speakeasy. Actor Pinza, 59, whose close-up profile occasionally resembles Douglas Mac Arthur's, carries off his role with vigorous charm, and takes full advantage of his cues for a few operatic bits (the best: Song of the Golden Calf, from Faust), and two old popular tunes (I'll See You in My Dreams, Everything I Have Is Yours). If his style is a shade heavy for deft comedy, it is certainly no heavier than the script...
...Mac-kado. The unmistakable political tenor of MacArthur's speeches drew quick fire from Oklahoma's trigger-happy Democratic Senator Robert S. Kerr. Said he: "If MacArthur's not a candidate for President, there's not a steer in Texas. The Mac-kado rides again!" Most everybody else seemed to take the general's own disclaimers at face value: before Congress, he had referred to himself as "in the fading twilight of life"; in Houston, asked if he would be a candidate for President, he replied, "Emphatically no."

...Robert Taft, Congressman Joe Martin, Washington's Senator Harry Cain and Wisconsin's Senator Joe McCarthy ("whose name will live . . . in monstrous infamy . . . Lynch . . . Boycott . . . Quisling and McCarthyism!"). Oklahoma's flamboyant Robert S. Kerr branded the G.O.P. a war party: "They are feeling sicker every day . . . Mac-Arthuritis...
J.C.S. to Mac. Only once in the week did Omar Bradley make big news. He, like Marshall, had been arguing steadily that MacArthur had been sacked not because he disagreed with Washington, but because MacArthur had taken his disagreement over U.S. policy to the public instead of arguing it out through proper channels. Last week, under persistent questioning from the Democrats, Bradley also admitted that the Joint Chiefs had accumulated some serious, purely military doubts about MacArthur's conduct of the war. Interest perked...
