Ladd takes a few to the plane, then, on learning Deborah refuses to leave, lets his copilot take off without him. The climax of the Everett Riskin production shows the attacker's pounding in the great door of the palace and the ones inside facing sure death. It is only when the door collapses that Boyer makes up his mind to fight. Although slowed down in spots, the climax has its share of special Ladd thrills. My Pal Gus Teacher's pet — 20th Century-Fox Here's a family fun gathering with Richard Widmark as a divorced business tycoon so busy amassing a fortune that he doesn't have time to keep personal tab on son, George (Foghorn) Winslow. The five-year-old manages to keep pop aware of his presence, however, by flooding an apartment house, scaring off every available nurse and other endearing little traits. In desperation, George is put in a nursery school run by Joanne Dru, who insists that parents participate in the school curriculum. At first, Widmark rebels, but after getting a good look at Joanne, feels compelled to go along for George's sake. Of course, the teacher and the tycoon fall in love, but the sudden appearance of Widmark's ex-wife, Audrey Totter, complicates things. Audrey announces their divorce is not legal and that she wants part of the new fortune Dick's made in return for a divorce. A messy legal entangle results, involving the teacher. It isn't until he faces financial ruin or losing his son that Widmark learns a lesson in human understanding from the teacher and Georgie. Pony Soldier Ugh! — 20th Century-Fox Tyrone Power, as a Northwest Mounted ' Policeman, returns "without his man" to the Fort. He is promptly taken over the coals by the Inspector and given a redeeming chance to prove his metal by tracking down two white captives, Penny Edwards and Robert Horton, who have been taken hostage by the Indians. Thomas Gomez, as his guide, innocently leads him right into the Indian stronghold. Although Power's life is spared, Chief Standing Bear refuses to release the captives. However, an optical illusion frightens the superstitious tribesmen, and Power, knowing that it is only a mirage, uses it to his own advantage. He obtains a pass-the-peace-pipe talk which results, after some harum-scarum nights provoked by Konah ( Cameron Mitchell), in Power and the prisoners being freed. Power discovers Bob Horton is the original bandit he had been scouting and saves the Mountie tradition of "always getting his man." The Technicolor picture starts out with the sweep and grandeur of "Broken Arrow," but bogs down. There is no love interest, neither Penny Edwards nor Power so much as touch fingers. Androcles And The Lion Shavian Humor — RKO D ernard Shaw's spoof of Caesar's em" pire and the Christians who outwitted their Roman captors is outlined in this Gabriel Pascal production. Roman captain Victor Mature is herding Jean Simmons, Robert Newton and Alan Young (Androcles) to Rome where they are to be fed to the Hons because of their continued devoutness to their religion. En route, Mature falis in love with Jean; Alan Young saves a lion's life, and Robert Newton and the other Christians almost convert Mature's soldiers. In Rome, each of the Christians are tempted to give up their religion, but they refuse and go forth to the lions' den. Although he simply wishes to be martyred, strong man Robert Newton is ordered by Caesar (Maurice Evans) to fight his top gladiators. Reluctantly he doss so, and reluctantly he kills five of them. This unusual display of strength results in the release of all the captors except one, who must be fed to the lion to satisfy the crowds. Alan Young is the hapless victim who goes forth to be devoured, but winds up waltzing with the lion which is the same one he befriended earlier. Ruby Gentry Swampland Saga — 20th Century-Fox Jennifer Jones in the title role is an aggressive, teasing flirt, living in a decadent Southern hunting lodge run by her father. The Southern locale and the obvious earthiness of the film, particularly the love scenes, reminds one of a slowed-down "Streetcar Named Desire." Oblivious to the marked male interest she incurs among the aristocrats who frequent the lodge, Jennifer is concerned only with Charlton Heston. Theirs is a secret, passionate love, which ends abruptly when Heston marries a "familyapproved" socialite to assure support of his project of turning swamplands into farmlands. Jennifer goes to live with wealthy Karl Maiden and his wife (Josephine Hutchinson), and when the latter dies, Maldin proposes to Jennifer. Her husband's power and wealth makes Jennifer a figure to be reckoned with, and when he is killed a short time later in a boating accident, she is able to strike back at those who snubbed her. Although she offers to protect Heston, he refuses and in revenge she has his farmlands flooded. Defeated, he turns to her, but even then she is robbed of his love when he is shot by her crazed brother who believes their love sinful. Film wallows in moodiness and swamplands and seems to get bogged down in atmosphere. Blackbeard, The Pirate The bold and the beautiful — RKO Shiver yer timbers, mates, there never was a more cruel, black-hearted pirate than Blackbeard as portrayed vigorously by Robert Newton. He takes over ships as easily as he picks his teeth, and he doesn't need any coaxing that Linda Darnell would be a provocative 70
