From Here to Eternity" In
the course of acting out a
suspenseful plot. they represent
life in an approximately per-
feet balance between comedy
and tragedy.
The former could not be
more perfectly capsuled than
in the character played by
Louis Calhern. He spends his
days practicing every dirty
trick of high finance, his
nights spending his ill-gotten
gains on the flashiest playgirl
available. This is not an en-
dearing portrait Of a tycoon
who might be Rabbits son,
but it is a humanizing and
dramatic one.
Beyond Calhern lies Paul
Douglas, another corporation
director who has his all too
commonplace problem, that of
finding himself entangled
(that way, of courSe) with
Shelley Winters.
Frelric March, who gives

Worthy Of the Best
These are but three of the
multitude of characters in

worthy Of such other expen-
Sive actors as william Holden,

on the basis of their imper-
sonations of types the movies
have been chary of dealing
with heretofore. the industry
would have no trouble at all
finding worthy winners of it's
next set of Academy awards.
BY the time they have ad-
justed their corporate and

quisitely paneled executive
suite, they have demonstrated
that the simplest film process
is still good enough for a
superlative slice of cinema
