GLAMOUR 91
FOR THE AUDIENCE
(Continued from page 72)
■whistling murderer, that he was in “Night Must Fall,” he suffers mostly from an in¬ feriority complex. This isn’t as harmless as it sounds. Before the picture is over, In¬ grid Bergman, who plays opposite him, is a widow and George Sanders (in the film his friend) has been convicted of murder.
It wouldn't be fair to M-G-M or James Hilton who wrote the story from which the picture was taken to give you any further clues to the plot. As a teaser we’ll merely add that, in addition to firstrate acting from Miss Bergman and Messrs. Montgomery and Sanders, there is a sensational character hit by Oscar Homolka who plays an insane asylum doctor.
THE Ziegfeld Girl” is like a lot of other good musicals you've seen, only more so. It’s got Lana Turner and Hedy Lamarr and Judy Garland AND James Stewart, Tony Martin, Jackie Cooper, Charles Winninger and Edward Everett Horton.
It’s got some catchy tunes — You Stepped Out of a Dream and Minnie From Trinidad are worth remembering. In all opulent film musicals, the costumes are more lavish, the sets more terrific and the production numbers more generally super-hyper-colossalmighty than Ziegfeld or anybody else ever dreamed of putting on a stage. Well, the numbers in “The Ziegfeld Girl” are to the average film musical what the average film musical is to a stage show. This gives you an idea.
The story is a twice-or-more-so told tale of three girls who land jobs in the “Follies” and what becomes of them. One of them takes the Penthouse Path and dearly pays for her sins; the second quits the “Follies” for her true love; the third goes on to greater glory. All nice work if you can get it.
Because Ingrid Bergman is one of our favorites we wish we could become en¬ thusiastic about “Adam Had Four Sons” hut truth compels us to admit it is one of those pretentious family epics that seems to take a generation to end. Very earnest; very sincere; very much of a bore. Warner Baxter and Susan Hayward try hard, too.
If you let short-subject films influ¬ ence your evening’s entertainment, don’t miss a minor M-G-M gem called “The Hap¬ piest Man on Earth.” Paul Kelly, an actor who gets all too few good roles in fea¬ ture films, does a throat-catching piece of work as a down-and-outer who takes a job as a driver of nitro-glycerin-laden trucks because his kids are going hungry. Per foot, the best film of the month.
