Backstage in London's Covent Garden, the 46 young dancers were scared stiff. For one thing, in rehearsals they had found the stage floor rather rough. Said one dancer: "I've never had to darn my toe shoes so much." And the British balletomanes they were to face for the first time were rumored to be even rougher. Wailed 20-year-old Dancer Melissa Hayden: "Gee, my stomach-I'm in real pain. I don't know how I can use my legs. I just want to hunch...
...General Chung II Kwon took over as chief of staff of the battered South Korean army when his predecessor, General Choi Pyung Duk, proved unable to stem the North Korean invasion. Rated a "first class officer" by U.S. military men, 36-year-old General Chung was trained in the rough-spoken Japanese army, but has long been noted in Korea for his polite, unsoldierly speech.

Using unvarnished photography on the streets, interiors and people of real California towns, Director Joseph Losey has given the picture a startling look of reality. For the setting of his manhunt's climax, he takes imaginative advantage of the stony, rolling wastes of a vast gold-dredging field. His mob scenes crackle with a spontaneous movement and raw vitality usually found only in bang-up newsreel footage...
