The plot is well conceived, the cast perfectly chosen and the action, especially in the air, thrilling. Two men are in love with the same girl (Gene Tierney) who lives at her grandfather's ranch near the air field. One of the men is Preston Foster, an American instructor; the other, John Sutton, a young English cadet about to be "washed out" because of his acrophobia. The girl's love wavers between the two, even after the instructor risks his life and his career to protect his student and rival. A desert sand storm and a daring parachute jump climax the action of the film. Its color, spirit and patriotic overtones mark Thunder Birds as outstanding film fare. THE NAVY COMES THROUGH ***1/4 R.K-O Radio ■ R-K-O deserves a Navy E for filming this splendid salute to the U. S. bluejackets. Specifically it deals with the gun crews of the Merchant Marine who daily give their lives that the lifelines of the nation may be kept open. George Murphy is a Navy lieutenant who is charged with neglect of duty and court-martialled. Testimony against him is supplied by a petty officer (Pat O'Brien) who is the brother of the girl the accused man loves (Jane Wyatt) . Comes Pearl Harbor and the petty officer is assigned to the command of the gun crew of an old merchant ship. The ex-lieutenant has signed up as a seaman on the same ship. From there on the action is swift, when a Nazi submarine refueling ship is captured, manned by the gun crew and sent on a sub-chasing expedition. Each of the crew is outstanding, from the Viennese violinist (Carl Esmond) to the ardent youth (Jackie Cooper) and the Cuban enlistee (Desi Arnaz). Here's a film that speaks for the Navy the way the Navy speaks for itself. THE BLACK SWAN *••*£ Twentieth Century-Fox ■ Adapted from Sabatini's yarn of the swashbuckling era of pirates and buccaneers, The Black Swan emerges as a blood and thunder adventure story. Ty has joined the Marines and this is one of his last chores before donning a uniform. His fans will love him in the role of the dashing side-kick of the pirate captain, Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar). Ty has a way with a cutlass and the ladies, especially Maureen O'Hara, who succumbs to his inevitable charm only after a struggle. The pirate crew eventually reforms after a life of crime, and dedicates its fighting talent to building up the British Empire. Morgan becomes governor of Jamaica and his lieutenant gets the girl. George Sanders, who plays a terrifying redbearded butcher, fails to go straight and comes to a bad end, as does Anthony Quinn, the one-eyed scourge of the sea. The marine shots are enhanced by Technicolor, and the whole film is enlivened by Thomas Mitchell who has the enviable faculty of stealing every scene he's in. YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER *** Columbia ■ What makes You Were Never Lovelier an entertaining musical is the superb dancing of Fred Astaire. A double dose of rhythm is dished out when he and Rita Hayworth spank the plank. Between musical numbers (and there aren't enough), the plot lags somewhat. The story, whose locale is Buenos Aires, revolves about the efforts of a South American magnate (Adolphe Menjou) to marry off his daughter (Rita). She has no interest in romance whatsoever, and since she is next in line to be wed, is preventing her two lovesick younger sisters from becoming brides. Astaire is a North American dancer who left his bankroll at the races and seeks a job dancing at the magnate's nightclub. Rita mistakenly takes Astaire for the man who has been sending her mysterious orchids and love notes. These were actually sent anonymously by Menjou to interest her in romance. The tale untangles after much misunderstanding, and Astaire wins Rita by plunging into her patio in armour and on a white charger. Gus Schilling is excellent in a small but amusing part. Rita's dresses were never more daring nor was she ever lovelier to look at. SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES *•* Twentieth Century-Fox ■ The colorful background shots in Technicolor, the zippy music and the effervescent Carmen Miranda make Springtime in the Rockies a safe bet for an evening of fun. Betty Grable dances with Cesar Romero, John Payne makes love to Betty, and Carmen sings her intoxicating rhythms — what more can the paying customers ask for? What there is of the plot concerns Betty's jealousy of Payne, a co-star in a Broadway show, who likes the ladies. To make him jealous for a change, she goes off with her former dancing partner (Romero) to play an engagement at Lake Louise in the Rockies. Payne follows, and on his way West, acquires Edward Everett Horton as a valet and Carmen as a secretary. At the resort the foursome tangles when Carmen pretends that Payne is in love with her. The Brazilian fireball is a knockout not only as a singer but also as a comedienne. [Continued on page 66] 64
