Hamilton furnishes a chsrH HCterizs-
tion that reflects all OF the high
spirits. indomitRble courage and =
nanCisl reCklessness essential 10 the
accomplishment of a miracle M the

Every scene in which he partici-
pates is played at high speed snd
high pressure with the result that
interest is kept at the maximum
and laughs pursue each other ebUl-
liently through the hIm's entirs
