Hollywood (1942)

Important Pictures [Continued from page 70] THE LITTLE FOXES (R-K-O) Cast: Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, Theresa Wright, Richard Carlson. An even finer film than the magnificent stage play from which it was adapted. May easily be the best picture of 1941. DUMBO (Walt Disney Production) Disney's newest imaginative creation is completely captivating. Little Dumbo, the baby elephant with the grotesquely big ears, is the appealing little hero. H. M. PULHAM, ESQ. (M-G-M) Cast: Robert Young, Hedy Lamarr, Ruth Hussey. For the first time in his career, Robert Young has an opportunity to show he is a truly good actor. Adapted from the popular novel by John P. Marquand. JOE SMITH, AMERICAN (M-G-M) Cast: Robert Young, Marsha Hunt, Darryl Hickman. Don't miss this exceptionally good film, the simple story of an average American and how he proved he could take it, when the time came. LADIES IN RETIREMENT (Columbia) Cast: Ida Lupino, Louis Hayward, Elsa Lanchester. The successful stage play loses none of its grim horror in being transplanted to the screen. LOUISIANA PURCHASE (Paramount) Cast: Bob Hope, Zorina, Victor Moore. Comedy, alluring girls, Irving Berlin tunes, Technicolor, plus Bob Hope's comic antics make this swell entertainment for the whole family. THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER (Warners) Cast: Monty Woolley, Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Richard Travis. The brilliant stage play has been transposed to the screen with Monty Woolley again the leading character— and a delightful one. The cast is abundant with capable actors. Woolley is an eccentric lecturer who breaks his leg and is stranded in the home of a nice family where he proceeds to muddle up the lives of all those around him in scathing style. ••• BABES ON BROADWAY (M-G-M) Cast: Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Virginia Weid ler. A big hunk of entertainment is this refreshing musical about a group of talented kids who crash Broadway. Little Virginia Weidler shines. BALL OF FIRE (R-K-O) Cast: Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck. About an unworldly professor (Cooper) who goes out seeking firsthand information on modern slang to include in his encyclopedia. He meets Sugarpuss O'Shea (Stanwyck), a nightclub entertainer, who increases not only his vocabulary but his heartbeats. BIRTH OF THE BLUES (Paramount) Cast: Bine; Crosby, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy, Carolyn Lee. This is the story of jazz — how it was born and how it grew. Bing Crosby's voice is particularly well suited to the old numbers. CONFIRM OR DENY (20th Century-Fox) Cast: Don Ameche, Joan Bennett, Roddy McDowall. Tense and exciting, with Hitler's projected invasion of England as the basis for the story. DESIGN FOR SCANDAL (M-G-M) Cast: Rosalind Russell, Walter Pidgeon, Edward Arnold. Gay and smart, a bit sophisticated, this is pleasant entertainment for the adult audience. I WAKE UP SCREAMING (20th CenturyFox) Cast: Betty Grable, Victor Mature, Carole Landis, Laird Cregar. A better-than-average "whodunit" because of the capable actors in the leading roles. (Reviewed under the former title, Hot Spot.) JOHNNY EAGER (M-G-M) Cast: Robert Taylor, Lana Turner. A romantic gangster film with Taylor as a bad boy who reforms when true love comes along in the person of Lana Turner. KATHLEEN (M-G-M) Cast: Shirley Temple, Gail Patrick, Herbert Marshall, Laraine Day. Shirley Temple wins new laurels for herself in her return to the screen after her two years' absence. The story is a striking penetration of a child's mind trying to make a pattern of complicated adult life. [Continued on page 78] Lou Costello doesn't quit his monkey-shines when the cameras stop grinding. His wife keeps a wary eye on him in public, for she never knows what gag he's apt to pull. At the Buy a Bomber Benefit, she caught him red-handed in the very midst of a trick.
