Silver Screen (Jun-Oct 1940)

Remember how stiff and stoic she was in "Nurse Edith Cavell?" Ray Milland is ideal as her leading man. The supporting cast, including Roland Young, Alan Marshal, May Robson, Billie Burke, Arthur Treacher and Doris Nolan, lives up to what you'd naturally expect of it. IT ALL CAME TRUE (Warners)— Ann Sheridan never has performed more convincingly than in this gangster melodrama. Humphrey Bogart is the head gangster and Jeffrey Lynn is Ann's boyfriend. It all takes place in a boarding house which Humphrey turns into a night club. Ann does nicely with her musical numbers. Although not regarded as an oomph role for Ann, she displays more of it than usual. JOHNNY APOLLO (20th CenturyFox) — Tyrone Power becomes a gangster in an effort to free his father, Edward Arnold, from prison. The father misunderstands the son's motive and disowns him. Then the son really becomes a thug. Lloyd Nolan and Dorothy Lamour are excellent as the other featured players in this impelling melodrama of a father and son forced into lives of crime. MA, HE'S MAKING EYES AT ME (Universal) — An amusing comedy about a press agent for a dress shop who puts over a big publicity stunt to pick a Miss Manhattan. Our own Ed Sullivan wrote the yarn and did a bang-up job of it. In the cast are Tom Brown. Constance Moore, Richard Carle, Anne Nagel and Jerome Cowan. ONE MILLION B. C. ( Hal Roach-United Artists) — A spectacular novelty of pre Billy Lee and Promise in "The Biscuit Eater," the touching story of the love of a boy for his hunting dog. Excellently done and most certainly not to be missed. historic times which is a supreme photographic achievement. It is entertainment primarily for the eye with exciting sights galore, including the shapely Carole Landis. The cast also includes handsome Victor Mature, who's definitely a heart flutterer. RANCHO GRANDE ( Republic)— li you see this well-produced western you'll understand why Gene Autry reigns unchallenged as king of the cowboys. He never was better. The story concerns a ranch, completely entangled in red tape, which he inherits. His unraveling of it is superb entertainment. Smiley BurncUe, June Storey, Dick Hogan, and Roscoe Ates have featured roles. SATURDAY'S CHILDREN (Warners) — John Garfield and Anne Shirley, as a young married couple trying to make a go of it despite conditions, are confronted with many problems with which the majority of married couples in the audience are familiar. It's interesting, common-sense moviefare that makes you a part of the story. SON OF THE NAVY (Monogram) — Here's a comedy-melodrama deserving of unlimited praise. It tells of an orphan who attaches himself to a gob, and later to a girl, who thinks the boy is really the son of the sailor. Comic complications are rampant with James Dunn, Martin Spellman and Jean Parker heading an acceptable cast which seems to realize what the story is all about. STAR DUST (20th Century-Fox) — Practically a true story of Linda Darnell's breaking into pictures, this believably done film of Hollywood proves that Darryl Zanuck made no mistake in selecting her for stardom. Roland Young, John Payne, Charlotte Greenwood, William Gargan and Mary Healy head a superbly directed supporting cast. THE BISCUIT EATER (Paramount) — A touching and simple story about a hunting dog, thought to be nothing but a "biscuit eater" until a small lad, played by Billy Lee, develops him into the very best in the country.
