...cover from Britain has been extended to the mid-Atlantic. The R.A.F.'s Coastal Command long ago drove the submarine packs from British waters. Recently the Coastal Command has become an ocean command, shifting gradually from short-range medium bombers to VLR ("very long range") American Liberators and other heavy bombers. These planes, armed with guns and depth charges, have attacked U-boats 1,100 miles at sea, and the number of air actions against submarines has multiplied many times. This cover is being extended also from the U.S. and Canadian coasts. But still longer range planes, or bases...

Clarence Brown, producer director, and Howard Estabrook, who wrote the screen play, try very hard but they sometimes outdo the shaggy-haired eccentric in being sloppily sentimental. "The Human Comedy" is the story of a typically Saroyan family in the typically Saroyan town of Ithaca, California. There is Homer MacCauley, who pedals a bicycle for Postal Telegraph and learns about life (Saroyan life, that is) from veteran telegrapher Frank Morgan...
