The Man Higher Up and The Wife of Altamont Review
A critic contrasts Miller’s The Man Higher Up as a measured study of a strong mayor and political power with Violet Hunt’s The Wife of Altamont, condemning its sensational vulgarity. The piece condemns crude dialogue and melodrama while praising Miller’s restraint and character emphasis amid a hostile verdict on Hunt’s novel.
