"One talking a blue streak?" makes one think of a "Chatty Patty" type, but the blue in this case means ribald, and the talker is not a "curser" nor a "cursor" but a CUSSER.

Of particular note was Cinema One, described by one movie reviewer of the day as "a beautiful sea-blue auditorium, with a roof which makes one think of white coral". It was the first cinema to have wall-to-wall carpeting and the luxurious qualities of the complex were strongly emphasised in the press at the time. Special features in the foyer included a fountain and wall- mounted, beaten copper Gemini figures which symbolised the twin aspects of the complex. The re-modelling of the cinema also reflected current concepts in cinema programming and marketing.

In an influential omnibus review in Partisan Review,Schwartz, Delmore Partisan Review, Vol 19, No 6, 1952, quoted in Delmore Schwartz praised the book at the expense of John Steinbeck, Evelyn Waugh, Angus Wilson and Ernest Hemingway. Schwartz said "To read a first novel by an unknown author which, sentence by sentence and page by page makes one say: he can't keep going at this pace, the intensity is bound to break down, the perfection of tone can't be maintained - is to rejoice in an experience of pleasure and astonishment ... [It] makes one think of a great ballad or a Biblical story ... The reader, drawn forward by lyric eloquence and the story's fascination, discovers in the end that he has encountered in a new way the sphinx and the riddle of existence itself". He concluded by comparing O'Brian's prose to the lyrics of the great Irish poet W. B. Yeats.Schwartz, Delmore, 1952, reprinted as preface to In later editions of the book, part of Schwartz's review was reprinted as a preface.
