Published in this space every month Boy, we're tired of the old high-pressure salesmanship. None of this hurry hurry hurry stuff for us. • • • • We're relaxing during the dog days. Swinging in our old hammock and taking an occasional mint julep. Yes, we're willing to talk but campaigning is out. Our voice is soft, cooing, mellow. • • • • Especially since we're just going to drop a hint about two great films that are getting their final editing at those streamlined M-G-M studios. • • • • "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Lady Be Good." One is an unusually gripping drama, the other an unusually rippling musical. Opposite, but twin, poles. • • • • Victor (GWTW) Fleming produced "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the famed Stevenson yarn. Of course, he had no talent to work with — only Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner. Director Fleming • • • • It is something to write home about, this Spencer Tracy interpretation. Or if you are at home, it's something to write away about. Mark our words. • • • • And "Lady Be Good." Nobody in that one either. Only Eleanor Powell, Ann Sothern, Robert Young, Lionel Barrymore, John Carroll, Red Skelton, and Virginia O'Brien.
