...Adams' slothful behavior as young Dr. John. Although John Buchanan is a casual and lecherous character, he is not indifferent to the people around him--which makes Adams' frequent failure to react to others' lines somewhat unsatisfactory. When he does react, it is by mugging or with a boogey slouch which gives an unfortunate impression of adolescent youth.

Abandoning his slouch, he put on black tie and dinner jacket last week to accept the award of 1954's best actor from two associations of reporters from foreign countries who cover Hollywood.

Could beaded dresses, long cigarette holders and the shrill laugh be far behind...

Asked one: "Why haven't you visited London for 23 years?" Growled Groucho: "To avoid newspapermen. You can call me the male Greta Garbo." With that, he loped off into the rain...
