Important IMcihits [Continued from paae 731 several of Judy's lively anc highly amusing vocal numbers. ONE THRILLING NIGHT -ickYi Monogram B The attempts of young newly-wed? to be alone is not an original plot, but it is still an aimising one. In One Thrilling Night it is given credence and timeliness because the groom must report for induction the next morning. John Beal is the ever-so-guileless groom, and Wanda McKay is the bride. Their bridal chamber becomes the scene for a mad game of cops and robbers, with Beal in turn being abducted, recaptured, and finally summoned for Army induction before ever getting a moment alone with his bride. Beal is very good, delivering his innocent lines in effective fashion. Miss McKay is pretty but stilted and wooden in her role. Warren Hymer is the dumb house detective, and Tom Neal is the usual tough gangster. Some of the lines are surprisingly bright and amusing, while others are pure corn. However, One Thrilling Night, which makes no attempt to be a super-duper production, is surprisingly enjoyable. Miniature Reviews •**• MRS. MINIVER (M-G-M) Cast: Greer Carson.
