I Address | City State . a mass assassination some night, Morta's parents begin to hear rumors that their daughter is carrying on a torrid romance with the ex-convict. It's not true, but Mona gets engaged to prissy Billy De Wolfe merely as an expedient for squelching gossip. Rather than solve any tiling, this makes matters worse, and from there on, the complications snowball into an avalanche of completely mad mayhem. Five Columbia AN UNUSUAL drama concerning the last five people who are left on earth following a tremendous atomic explosion. The five who all miraculously find their way to an isolated and uncontaminated hideaway high in the hills are: Susan Douglas, William Phipps, James Anderson, Charles Lampkin and Earl Lee. One of the men, an elderly bank clerk, dies shortly after he arrives, leaving only four to work out a manner of survival — if they can. Terrifying in that it shows what might happen if America and other peace-loving countries were caught napping, or allowed themselves to listen to power-crazed despots who would destroy the world. Smuggler's Island (Technicolor) Universal-International HIS own boss in a one-man diving concern, Jeff Chandler enjoys living on an island off the Coast of China. Life is easy-going and casual. Then, Evelyn Keyes talks him into salvaging a shipment of miracle drugs. The "drugs" turn out to be bars of gold, and Jeff, against his better judgment, agrees to smuggle the loot to Hong Kong for Evelyn. Despite his precautions, the port authorities learn his plans and relay the information to a pirate chief. The object is to use Jeff as bait in order to capture the pirate. Yessir! There's nothing like a peaceful, easy-going island to calm your nerves. Lorna Doone (Technicolor) Columbia BASED on the classic of the same name, briefly the story concerns a greedy, arrogant family who drains the local English countryside and its people of everything they possess. One member of the family, Barbara Hale, is as sweet and gentle as her kinfolk are blackhearted. It remains for Richard Greene to organize a revolt against the Doones and deliver them their just deserts, all except Barbara, who really isn't a Doone at all. Fine for youngsters and those who like their heroines kind and pure and their heroes stalwart and brave. Circle Of Danger Eagle Lion FOR certain reasons American Ray Milland suspects that his younger brother, who had served as a Commando with the British Forces, had not been Pat O'Brien is guest of Jo Stafford on her "Voice Of America" program. killed by a Nazi bullet while on a night raid. Milland goes to London to find out more about the strange death. Most of the leads prove fruitless, but Milland does meet Patricia Roc and the major who was in command of the raiding party. The search ends when a melody, the theme of a ballet suite, provides the clue that clears up all the mystery which had surrounded the shooting. Air Cadet V niversal-l nternational JET planes and the men who fly them create some highly exciting action for the cameras to catch. There's a good deal of snappy precision jet flying that's so spectacular, you'll wonder if the shots were faked — they weren't. As for the plot, Cadet Richard Long almost misses out on his dream to be a jet pilot due to the constant needling of Major Stephen McNally. How come McNally picks Long for his whipping boy is something Long discovers much too late for comfort— and it's not because Long is dating McNally's estranged wife, Gail Russell, either. Good entertainment despite an occasional flavor of corn. Pandora And The Flying Dutchman (Technicolor) MGM THE legend of The Flying Dutchman, a ghost sailing a ghost ship over the Seven Seas in search of a woman who will love him so devotedly she'd die for him. The Dutchman, James Mason, appears again in mortal form to find just such a woman. If he's successful, his soul will end it's tortured existence and rest in peace. A mortal woman, Ava Gardner, does fall completely in love with him and gladly pays the supreme sacrifice. That, in a capsule, is what takes over two hours on the screen. The Fat Man (Technicolor) II niversal-l nternational RADIO'S portliest private eye makes his movie debut with J. Scott Smart, heard on the air in the same role. Smart is called in on a case when a dentist is murdered and a set of teeth X-rays stolen. It appears to be a singular motive for murder, but Smart's detecting uncovers a lot of other strange incidents such as: what happened to a half-million dollars heisted from an armed car, why the teeth X-rays were so important, and why Circus Clown Emmett Kelly left his friend trapped in a burning truck.
