'Just About Lives Up To Those That Paramount Ran In Every A — says THE NEWS TWICE WITHIN 2 WEEKS, PARAMOUNT'S SUMMER HIT-WAVE HITS WIN THOUSANDS OF WORDS OF THE MOST SENSATIONAL '"A FOREIGN AFFAIR' IS A WHALE OF A PICTURE. "THIS BRACKETTWILDER TEAM SEEMS UNBEATABLE, It's a little early to be speaking of the year's awards, but here is my candidate. It will be a mighty fine day when they make a picture to top 'A Foreign Affair.' It is a treat to have two of Hollywood's most intelligent actresses together in the year's most intelligent comedy. The writers and players never allow it to slip into a single stodgy moment." — Alton Cook, World-Telegram "TO PUT IT PLAINLY, HOLLYWOOD'S MOST ENJOYABLE PICTURE OF THE YEAR. Paramount Theatre audiences are most fortunate. This Brackett-Wilder picture is so richly studded with all types of fun, verbal and visual, that some of it may be lost in the ensuing audidience hullaballoo. The perfect performances of the four leads contribute to the general excellence.." — Archer Winsten, N. Y. Post "SMARTLY TURNED OUT COMEDY. Sly humor, biting satire. The film bounces amusingly through a variety of crisply handled complications. All three principals excellent. Millard Mitchell does a slick job." — Rose Pelswick, JournalAmerican no matter in what direction it turns. From the charm of 'The Emperor Waltz' they turn toward another brilliant picture. Writing has much to do with the wit and honesty of 'A Foreign Affair.' Dialogue is funny, crisp, real. Ideas' and characters are fresh and original. The team which made 'Ninotchka' and 'The Lost Weekend' don't bother with routine plots. Dietrich has the best role of her career. Miss Arthur is a delight." — Eileen Creelman, The Sun "A BOLD, DRIGHT COMEDY. Im all for a Foreign Affair.' Shining example of perTect teamwork in picture making. One prediction the ad writers failed to make is that this picture is going to make John Lund the screen's No. 1 'Lover Boy' whether he likes it or not. Arthur, Dietrich, Lund and Mitchell give performances that people will be praising for a long time to come." — Wanda Hale, Daily News "DANDY ENTERTAINMENT, it has wit, worldliness and charm. Jean Arthur is beautifully drole. But it is really Dietrich who does the most fascinating job." — Bosley Crowther, N. Y. Times \ 11 )f Every Cri /s <a -fifrin ttm
