Teakettle Too Late To Classify ( Continued from page 3050) of comedy relief sequences. Performances are generally good, and the Johnson name will be a factor. To sum up then, this is a good war film, and where they are doing well, this should, too, despite its limited marquee appeal. The words “Go For Broke” mean “Shoot The Works.” Tip On Bidding: Good program price. Ad Lines: “The Story Of The 442nd Regimental Combat Team And Their Battle Cry ‘Go For Broke’ “When The Battle Cry ‘Go For Broke’ Was Sounded, The Enemy Knew What To Expect”; “Action And Thrills When The ‘Bhuddaheads’ Yell ‘Go For Broke’.” Saddle Legion Western 60m. (RKO) Estimate: Standard Outdoor show. Cast: Tim Holt, Richard Martin, Doro¬ thy Malone, Cliff Clark, James Bush, Robert Livingston, Bob Wilke, Dick Foote, Movita, Mauritz Hugo. Produced by Her¬ man Schlom; directed by Lesley Selander. Story: Roving cowpunchers Tim Holt and Richard Martin arrive on the ranch of Cliff Clark in time to thwart a plot ordered by disgruntled ranch hand James Bush to make it appear that Clark’s cattle had become infected, with Bob Livingston, henchman of Mauritz Hugo, acting as a phoney cattle inspector. Holt and Martin outwit the Hugo gang, Bush is killed, and the day is saved. X-Ray: With a slightly different twist to the story, this falls into the usual series groove. The slight romance is carried by Dorothy Malone as a female medico. The story was written by Ed Earl Repp. Tip On Bidding: Usual series price. Ad Lines: “Tim Holt ... At His Best . . . Bucking Forces Of Evil”; “The Year’s Fastest Western”; “A Piet To Sabotage The Cattlemen . . . Frustrated by Tim Holt.” Hills Of Ireland Travelogue 60m. (World Travel) (Color) Estimate: Travelogue has appeal for Irish spots. Credits: Produced by Harry Dugan. Commentary by Pat O’Brien. X-Ray: This is a rather lengthy camera tour of Northern and Southern Ireland with appropriate running commentary by Pat O’Brien. Filmed in vivid color, rural and urban Ireland and its citizens get plenty of coverage, and the picture should be of more than passing interest to trans¬ planted natives and travelogue addicts. Several Irish songs by tenor Christopher Lynch, accompanied by a symphonic or¬ chestra, have been dubbed in to add to the overall nostalgic effect. This is also avail¬ able in 16mm. Ad Lines: “Revisit The Old Country Through The Eyes Of The Color Camera”; “A Beautiful Camera Study Of Old Ire¬ land”; “Go With Pat O’Brien On A Film Trip To Ireland.” The Lovers Of Verona Melodrama 90m. (Souvaine Selective) (French-made) (English titles) Estimate: Uneven entry for the class and art houses. Cast: Serge Reggiani, Pierre Brasseur, Anouk Aimee, Louis Salou, Marcel Dalio, Martine Carol, Marianne Oswald, Charles Deschamps, Armontel. Directed by Andre Cayatte. Story: A company comes to Venice and Verona to make a film of “Romeo And Juliet.” Stand-ins Serge Reggiani and Anouk Aimee fall in love. Aimee’s fiance, Pierre Brasseur, plans to kill Reggiani, and tricks Aimee into coming back with him. The murder attempt fails. Aimee decides to leave the decaying influence of her home, and goes to the studio to wait for Reggiani, and a family servant sees Reg¬ giani and tells him that Aimee is at home waiting for him. He arrives to be faced by her family. While trying to escape, a war-crazed cousin starts shooting wildly, killing Brasseur, and mortally wounding Reggiani. Reggiani gets to the studio, and dies in Aimee’s arms. She then kills her¬ self. X-Ray: This modern version of “Romeo And Juliet” has moments of beauty and poignancy with the roles of the two young lovers excellently portrayed. However, the film suffers from editing and some un¬ necessary and overdeveloped minor char¬ acters. The screen play is by Jacques Prevert, based on a story by Andre Cayatte. Ad Lines: “The Greatest Love Story Of All Time Told In Terms Of Today”; “A Modem Version Of ‘Romeo And Juliet’ Given New Beauty By The Magic Of The Screen”; “See Exciting Newcomer Anouk Aimee’s Poignant Portrayal of Juliet.” Shorts STRAUSS FESTIVAL. Films Interna¬ tional. 5m. With the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Oscar Strauss, works by the conductor and his famous relative Johann Strauss, are presented. Drawings, and trick camera shots have been used to make the presentation at¬ tractive to the eye as well as the ear. EXCELLENT. THE FILM DIRECTOR. The Movies And You — All Industry Shorts. 9m. The theme is the difficult and complex job of the film director. He is shown dealing with such problems as budget, costume selec¬ tion, camera angles, editing, and others, in addition to his main function, direct¬ ing the actors and the shooting of the pic¬ ture. This is another fine entry dealing with the industry. This is being released by Warners. EXCELLENT. BIG LITTLE LEAGUERS. Paramount— Grantland Rice Sportlights. 9m. It’s big league baseball for the youngsters when they join the more than 1,500 teams that comprise the Little League from coast-tocoast. Carl Stotz founded this end of the game that caters to lads from nine to 12. Shown also is the world series tilt at the home of the junior league, Williamsport. Pa., where a team from Texas beats a Connecticut contingent. EXCELLENT. (R10-8) . SPRING FEVER. 20th -Fox— Terry toons. 6y2m. Smitten by spring fever, Gandy Goose runs away from home, and is lured into a lunch counter run by a sinister fox. The fox sprinkles Gandy with salt and pepper, preparing to cook him, when Gandy sneezes so hard he blows down the building. Safely home, Gandy again sneezes, bringing the walls of his house down on his long-suffering parents. FAIR. (5109). LIFE, GUARD. RKO — Screenliners. 8%m. The selection, training, and duties of life guards at Long Island’s Jones Beach are examined in this fairly interesting entry. Various tests for life guard applicants are shown, and the beach patrol is depicted going about their duties of rescues, re¬ turning lost children to their parents, and curbing dangerous horseplay. GOOD. (14207). ROARING GUNS. Warners— Featurette. 19m. When first reviewed in The Servisection of February, 1944, it was said of this reissue: “The locale is California in the year 1877, after the gold rush had been somewhat tempered. Gold seekers re¬ traced the steps of the pick and shovel miners of yeai;s back, and used hydraulic water pumps to rip the hills apart to wash out the remaining gold. The water from this operation soon floods the nearby ranchers’ crops, and destroys their homes. They want to rise up, but cooler heads prevail, and they decide to await a court decision. Robert Shayne, who has been sent to supervise the mine’s operations, soon gets disgusted with the ruthless way his mine is operating, and protests to the owners. He is fired as a court injunction comes through ordering the miners to sus¬ pend operating. They refuse, and hold their property by force, until Shayne, who has sided with the ranchers, places a wellplanted charge of dynamite, which kills many of the “ornery” killers at the mine. As the film closes, Shayne and a nearby rancher’s daughter are making plans for the future. EXCELLENT (7104). Servisection 7 3051
