7 hours in water left me dry !" If dishwashing dries your hands, imagine my skin after shooting swim scenes for "Pagan Love Song." Some days I was in water 7 full hours! The salt water left my skin feeling dry and rough . . . Being a liquid, Jergens is absorbed by thirsty skin. But soothing Jergens Lotion (from fingertips to toes) . . . CAN YOUR LOTION OR HAND CREAM PASS THIS FILM TEST? To soften, a lotion or cream should be absorbed by upper layers of skin. Water won't "bead "on hand smoothed with Jergens Lotion. It contains quickly-absorbed ingredients that doctors recommend, no heavy oils that merely coat the skin with oily film. Prove it with this simple test described above . . Kept my skin smooth and soft for romantic close-ups. You'll see why Jergens Lotion is my beauty secret. More women use Jergens Lotion than any other hand care in the world Still 10(! to $1.00 (plus tax) the fugitive boy in, shelters him. Boy meets Mercedes McCambridge who's so hard-boiled when she tosses a glance it's likely to break something. They become friends in a limited way, until she finds out he's an escaped murderer, and then that foolish girl turns chicken. If you can't figure out who's the real murderer, though, you'll surprise me. Especially when poor Tohn Ireland goes around muttering, "David, my best friend. Why didn't he ever come to see me during the trial?" It's not a subtle film, though there are one or two things to recommend it. A nice scene with Mercedes as u singing waitress, and a bar-owner called Level Louie, who hates cousins. It's imitation Saroyan, mixed with adventure, but you have the feeling that if the script writers had worked a little harder, they might have got something. Cast: John Ireland, Mercedes McCambridge. Emlyn Williams. — United Artists. BORN TO BE BAD Joan Fontaine is the lady who was born to be dretful. She acts all sweet and dewy, but she lures Joan Leslie's rich fiance (Zachary Scott) away from Joan Leslie, and she marries him, and then she tries to keep a love affair (with tall, rugged book-writer Robert Ryan) going on the side, and a man called Gobby (Mel Ferrer), who paints pictures, stands around through the entire movie making knowing comments about her. "Don't try to kid me, kiddo," he tells her, or words to that effect. "Remember me — I'm Gobby" If I was Gobby, I wouldn't brag about it, but that's life. Anyhow, Joan Fontaine comes out of the movie with only a few fur coats and a convertible car to show for her trouble, while virtuous Joan Leslie gets the by now second-hand but still sensationally rich Zachary Scott. I know it's a terrible picture, but it's kind of fun to watch — the women wear such lovely clothes, and the men are dark and attractive. Cast: Joan Fontaine, Robert Ryan. Zachary Scott, Joan Leslie. — RKO.
