Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

Day-MacRae romance might go beggar. . . . Hamlet Universal-International ONCE again the public will have the chance to see Laurence Olivier's production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Needless to say it's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed. In the title role of Hamlet, Olivier, as the half-mad Danish prince, who swears vengeance on his father's murderer, is superb. Done in such a manner that even the Shakespearean dialogue is completely engrossing and understandable, Olivier is one alone in the field of turning classic drama into entertainment for the average audiences. Outrage RKO AS USUAL, Producer Ida Lupino comes through with another shocker that tears away the cloak of hush-hush that hides one of the oldest and most brutal of crimes known to mankind. Engaged to be married soon, young, attractive Mala Powers is criminally assaulted on her way home from work one night. Because she is stricken with shame and feels permanently soiled by what has happened. Mala runs away from home. Her hysterical flight takes her to California where she meets a priest, Tod Andrews. By his help and sympathetic understanding of her inner turmoil. Mala is able to regain a normal, healthy atti tude toward life, and to put the past behind her. Let's Dance (Technicolor) Paramount BETTY HUTTON doesn't like nor appreciate the way her dead husband's Bostonian family is bringing up her son. Betty kidnaps the lad and scurries to New York. While there, she runs into her old flame, irresponsible Fred Astaire, a dancer who's always promoting some big deal in his imagination. With his help, she gets a job in a nightclub and her son is thrown into an environment that gives his Back Bay grandma the screaming-meanies. Granny takes Betty to court, but again the Hutton gal foils the old biddy. Not all the running time of the film is taken up with maternal mumbo-jumbo; Fred is also pitching woo at Betty and together they log up some impressive dancing time. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye Warner Brothers FROM the beginning you know James Cagney hasn't too many tomorrows to which he can look forward, but he sure crams a lot of activity into the time he has. An escaped chain-gang convict, Cagney deliberately killed the convict brother of his current hot-toddy, Barbara Payton. Then, instead of hightailing it to the hills, Cagney sticks around town to play footsie with some corrupt police big-wigs. To give himself even more rope, he takes up with a neurotic millionairess. For a while, everything is peachy until Barbara finds out he's gotten married to Miss Money Bags, Helena Carter, and that, friend, is where the title of the picture comes in. Going My Way Paramount BE-RELEASE of that wonderful, wonderful Bing Crosby-Barry Fitzgerald picture that was made six years ago. The heart-warming story about two priests — Fitzgerald, an elderly Irishman, of the old school, who reluctantly shares his parish with young, progressive Crosby. Fretful that he will eventually lose his church to the younger priest, Fitzgerald makes it clear he'll have nothing to do with Crosby or his ideas. It requires time and several painful experiences before Fitzgerald realizes that perhaps Crosby is better fitted to take over The acting, the scene where Fitzgerald has a visitor from Ireland, and the songs Bing sings can't be surpassed. Desert Hawk (Technicolor) Universal-International WHILE Princess Yvonne De Carlo of Bagdad languishes on a desert oasis, awaiting the arrival of her husband-tobe, wicked Prince George Macready, George's arch enemy, Richard Greene, gallops into camp in disguise.
