Transcript:

"ODONGO," filmed in Kenya, provides breathless moments of action and suspense, plus the colourful presentation of jungle life. Macdonald Carey portrays an animal hunter who has no interests other than pitting his wits against the cunning of wild animals. Rhonda Fleming is a young, attractive girl who gives a moving performance as a veterinary surgeon capable of a love by no means confined to animals. The effect of a film star on the lives of a suburban family is told in "AS LONG AS THEY'RE HAPPY," starring Janette Scott, Hugh McDermott, Brenda De Banzie, Jack Buchanan. Jean Carson, and Nigel Green. The hilarious adventures of three sailors on week-end leave are highlighted in "SO THIS IS PARIS," starring Tony Curtis and Gloria De Haven. The story of one of the most daring plans of World War II is unfolded in "THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS" starring Clifton Webb and Gloria Grahame. In early 1943 axis troops have been driven from North Africa and the Allies are planning the invasion of Europe through Sicily. A cover plan is needed to deceive the enemy into expecting invasion from another source, so Admiral Cross, Head of Naval Intelligence, assigns the task to Commander Ewen Montagu.
