D Two of the most dynamic players of the Warner lot, James Cagney and Bette Davis, clash in their first comedy together — and the resulting explosion can be spelled E-XP-L-O-I-T-A-T-I-O-N! Here's how its all happens: Cagney as a pilot who is about to lose his plane to a finance company, consents to deliver bride-to-be Bette (at freight rate) to irate papa, Eugene Pallette, to prevent her marriage to I-love-me Jack Carson. When they are forced down on a California desert and forced to take refuge in a semighost town, Jimmy and Bette really have it out. George Tobias minus his accent and Stuart Erwin round out an excellent cast, while veteran William Keighley, ace comedy director, tops off one of the most promising productions in a long time.
