Elegant, classy piece of clothing worn with aplomb by one of Hollywood's classier stars. Youngsters today may complain that the garment isn't "colourful" enough, or the material not "cool" or "modern" enough, forgetting that they are the very ones who would far prefer to parade around the streets wearing nothing at all than be bothered to even think about "jackets" or "trousers". Perhaps a fig leaf would match their level of mental development better. Is it any wonder the divorce rate is so high?

Quite a juicy collection of reviews you keep posting, Graham. Thanks!

Thank YOU, David. I've got more up my grey flannel sleeve. It's quite fun hunting them out. Hard to believe that someone actually wrote all that stuff in total seriousness. I think that William McCrum is the only one to catch onto the fact that they're not "joke reviews", tee hee.
If I'm recalling it correctly, Peck has a WWII flashback in which he remembers an accident with a grenade which unfortunately killed a fellow soldier. He's carrying the victim to try and get him help when he's approached by none other than DeForest Kelley, in an uncredited role as a medic. Kelley briefly examines the victim and remarks, (something like) "Captain, this man is dead."
