how it must be. Vittorio's hero, a
GI sergeant named O'Halloran,
told him never to take no for an
answer and now is the time to test
it.
1t is fascinatingly sincere and
comic piece Of acting Vittorio
achieves in demanding his miracle
for Violetta. He Is never angry
with the priests and bishops who
deny his demand that the ca
thedral walls be torn apart. It is
just that they do not understand
how it is with sick donkeys and
boys who have learned never to
take no" for an answer.
The Vatican sequences which
bring the film to its climax are
the most comic and dramatic in
Never Take No For An Answer. "
Here. where he can see the light
in his windows at night, Vittorio
discovers what a remote figure the
papal guards really try to make
of the Pope. Circumventing these
is the supreme test of a small
boys energy and ingenuity but in
Vittorio's concept of q miracle, one
may be frustrated temporarily but
never defeated. He is not defeated.
+ X \
1t is a large. multi-lingual cast
that acts the picture which
Anthony Havelock- Allan produced.
It is one that is obviously inspired
in every foot of film to do its best
to match Vittorio's irresistible
charm and sincerity.
Postwar Italian films have sug-
gested that Italy is overrun with
youthful acting geniuses. The lads
of "Shoeshine." and "The Bicycle
Thief" to mention but two films,
left their marks upon q large
international audience Of film
goers. Vittorio, however, is the
Italian boy most likely to be
remembered as the supreme
specimen. .'..,
AS the hero of Never Take No
For An Answer" his acting is a
miracle somewhat on the order of
the one he so unshakeably expects
of St. Francis even if he has to
enlist the Pope's aid in getting it..
No one ever made more delight
full use of some of ChriStendom's
most hallowed shrines or of Italy's
most dramatic landscape.

Some day. perhaps another
thousand years from now, a movie
company will pull a switch on one
Of the most overworked plots in
the library.
1t will do screenplay in which
a rich playboy will reform a
beautiful serious-minded working
girl. A definite hint that this
revolutionary step is not more
than a millennium away is to be
found in Just This Once" Keith's
new screen feature starring Janet
Leigh and Peter Lawford. Every
thousand feet or so throughout
the comedy, there is a suggestion
that every one wishes the thing
were being played in reverse.
These, however. amount to no
more than tremors of remorse.
Just This Once" an M-G-M
production, is packaged with the
studios patented sickness. It
presents Miss Leigh, a vibrant girl,
in the role of guardian to Law
ford. vibrating boy. It is her
task as a serious and stubborn
young lawyer, on a $50 weekly
retainer, to teach him how to
handle SO million dollars sensibly.
That there might be a certain
lack of logic in this arrangement
is a matter Of complete indiffer-
ence to Sidney Sheldon and Max
Trell who wrote "JuSt This Once" ="
They are concerned rather with
the titillating circumstances of the
relationship between such a
deadly serious girl and such a
recklesSly irresponsible young
man. The basic one in this
instance is that concentrated in,
the fact that once she has cut
him of with a dollar week, Miss
Leigh is required to take Lawford
into her apartment as her ward.
In its uninspired way, the film
directed by Don Weis probably
makes the most of its material.
It's comedy highlights are side
light scenes. in one of which a
character is forced to insist upon
a reduction in his salary and
another in which the hero broodS
darkly on what few bombs
could do to New York'S skyline.
The latter is so startling that the
spectator distrusts his senses.
AS escape entertainment goes,
nothing could be lighter than

Vlttorlo has a great deal of adult
help. Paul Calico, for instance
wrote him a wondrously warm
story to act and Maurice Cloche
and Ralph Smart directed it with
great sympathy.
The clevereSt thing the adults
accomplish. however, is to efface
themselves and leave it to Wit
torio to act their fable with a
charm that is at once angelic and
diabolic.
What he acts is the narrative
Of small boy who asks a miracle
in behalf Of his sick donkey and
will not settle for less if he has
to unhinge the Roman Catholic
church to get it. AS the story of
a small boys faith. ingenuity and
stubborness, Never Take No For
An Answer" is humorous and
touching.
Happily. it is done in English
which assures that none of it's
rich SAVIOR shall be lost upon
moviegoers of Vittorio's own age
who abbor the subterfuge of sub
titles.
Assist and Rome in Italy are
the chief settings of Never Take
No For An Answer"
The former is Vittorios home.
Here, in the shadow of the cathe-
dral OF St. Francis. he lives as a
war orphan and Assists smallest
small businessman. His business
is transportation and the single
public carrier he operates is q
tiny donkey, Violetta.
Like her owner, Violetta is a
creature of surprising charm
whose greatest single appeal is
that she can smile like the Mona
Lisa. Thanks to these irresistible
gifts of boy and donkey, theirs
Is a thriving business until Vio-
letta becomes i'll.
When the veterinary tells him
only a miracle will save the ami
NAL who is both his pet and his
total rolling stock, Violetta ex-
poets a miracle. What is more, he
knows exactly the miracle Vio-
letta, needs, a visit to the crypt of
st. Francis deep in the cathedral

cides to take his case tc the Holy
Father in Rome. If this is the only

Air Force Estimates
Cost Of Construction
May Be Cut 81 Billion
washington d. 9.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1862
BY the Associated Press

The Air Force now estimates
that it's airbase buildup to accom-
modate 143 wings may cost almost
50 billion less than anticipated
last spring.
Edwin v. Higgins, Assistant
Secretary Of the Air Force, told a
reporter much of the saving will
result from careful cost studies
and reductions in construction
standards.
He acknowledged there has
been waste and unduly costly con-
struction, but said this has been
largely corrected. Congressional
committees have frequently criti-
cized what they have termed
extravaganza in construction at
armed forces installations.
Mr.. Higgins comments came on
the heels of disclosure by Senators
Long CDemorcat, of Louisiana }
and Saltonstall. Republican, of
Massachusetts,, that the Senate
Armed Services Committee is hold
ing up the spending of consider
able" money for overseas air bases,
The Defense Department put the
amount at so to so million dollars
out of a total $1.2 billion authori-
zation.
Urge Further Study.
The committee, Senators Long
and Saltonstall said in separate
interviews last night, has asked
that the funds not be spent until
a further study can be made OF
the construction program. Both
voiced belief the action would not
adversely affect national security
and the Defense Department
quoted Secretary Lovett as saying
the projects can safely be held up
for another so days.
Some of the funds need not be
