The Young Lions. Irwin Shaw’s bestseller about World War II, clarified by an intelligent script and two gifted actors, Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift (TIME, April 14).
Stage Struck. Local girl making good on Broadway — the hard way; with Susan Strasberg, Henry Fonda (TIME, April 7).
The Enemy Below. A DE (Robert Mitchum) and a U-boat (Curt Jürgens) tangling in a running fracas sharply directed by Dick Powell (TIME, Jan. 13).
