On Such a Night

by Anthony Quayle

Do you take a bit of polish on your adventure story? Do you like a sense of character with your conspiracies? A touch of Fantasy in the plot?

Then Anthony Quayle has told a story to your order. Read it and find out how Intelligence, in the person of Major Freddie Simms, caught up with a ranking British minister; how the minister's mistress was accommodated; and what effect it all had on the staff, from the Governor down, at Government house in Palleria (surely Malta).

Here is humor, and human understanding, and some subtle but none-the-less magnificent courage -- in short, very good theater, with substance behind it.
