Now I may as well admit at once that I have not been an old man long enough to be able to hear myself alluder to as on old man without being slightly surprised.
The Press in king about this: they call one veteran, an epithet which one accepts with e±mplacency.

So what right have they to suppose that 70 or 60 makes u man sharply aware of being old?

FITTORIO DE SICA is an extraordinary man.. He has the charm of a Latin Ronald Colman- plus genius. And the charm has to subsidise the genius.
