also gets in a word for honesty
before 1t is through. The tycoon,
played by Coburn, throws his
support to the vice chairman
in a crucial moment because of
the latter's replies to two ques-
tons which might have ended
his career. Yes, Taylor's man
declares he is positive the refu-
gee widow he intends to marry
is no Communist. No, he never
has had her investigated.
All of this is performed with
the polish MGM demands of
players in its big-budget movies.
Ives and Coburn as American
executives and Sir Cedric Hard
wicke as the head of the Lon
don mining firm perform with
conviction. Taylor is earnest,
energetic and plausible. Mary
Astor is fully effective in a minor
role. And Miss Mueller is beau
tifully packaged dynamite.
4 \ 4
THE Power and the Prize" in
addition to anything else it is,
is a sort of milestone on purely
technical grounds. 1t has been
in old-fashioned black
and : white and new fashioned
CinemaScope. 1t is an odd COM
bination to encounter but in this
case 1t is logical. This sort of
drama does not demand color,
but these executive offices do
need a screen at least as wide as
CinemaScope.
One of these sprawling set
tings, incidentally, accounts for
q bigger laugh than any of the
comedy lines Mr.. Audrey wrote.
It occurs when Miss Mueller,
safely imported, walks into Mr..
Taylor's apartment. of outland-
SHY lavish decor, roughly the
size OF the Shoreham Blue Room
She looks about happily and de
clares she is delighted with this
honey place. she was afraid it
would be just like the movies.
You never saw anything more
ike the movies.
