Parrish (Warner) is the celluloid name for Troy (Surfside 6) Donahue, who has a wheatfield of golden hair, ripply pectoral muscles and a pair of sapphire-tinted eyes -in a word, a dreamboat who by his own tally is "No. 1 on the fan mail list at the studio and No. 2 or 3 in all of Hollywood right now." Troy plays the part, as the ads put it, of an "intruder in Connecticut's Million-Dollar Mile," which sounds like moneyed exurbia and turns out to be rich tobacco country in the Connecticut River Valley...

...country doctor making his rounds, seven stages in the teaching of a deaf child, four stages in a marine's homecoming (the Steichen caption: "Boy and girl-and a visual love song"). But many pictures suggest their subject in a single, self-contained flash: a Nebraska wheatfield canopied with monumental clouds; dead G.I.s on Buna Beach; Evita Perón getting her last primps before a party, while her famous husband stands by in gold braid, cooling his heels. "Humor," says Steichen, "is one of the rarest elements to be found in photography," but he finds some here...
