The grand total circulation of this column is 30,936,879. To every one of our readers in the twenty-nine national magazines, the lion roars a Merry Xmas.
As a pre-holiday treat we present you with one of those dashing affairs with Clark Gable doing most of the dashing.
• • • •
And Hedy Lamarr is something to dash
after *'•.•'*
"Comrade X" — that's Clark — is a mysterious correspondent who attempts to smuggle news past theteensor and Hedy Lamarr past the immigration.
• • • • He is caught smuggling Hedy.
• • • •
The film is a confection of suspense, speed and merriment. The screen play, written by Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer, has a pace that is Hechtic.
• • • •
Our studio spies send us a warning that "Comrade X" is a most dangerous picture. People lau^h themselves sick and the laughter is contagious.
An epidemic of laughter isn't a bad idea.
• • • • Knee-bends to those great characterizations (in addition to Gable and Lamarr) by Oscar Homolka, Felix Bressart and Eve Arden.
• • • •
King Vidor, whose direction is direct, has not missed on this one. Long live King!
• • • •
It's a great job, M-G-M. More "Comrade X"es, say we all of us.
• • • •
In fact, there'll be a movement afoot to rename the merry season.
• • • • They're thinking of calling it —
• • • • n Comrade Xmas. X£<3
