They call her "Sweets". You'll soon see why. * * • • There's John Garfield, as Danny, who inherited two houses and a watch. But his eye for an attractive female was his own to begin with. • * * * Others? Lots of them, and all good. Frank Morgan, Akim Tamiroff , Donald Meek, Connie Gilchrist, Henry O'Neill. A veritable galaxy. The director? A fellow named Fleming. Victor Fleming. Maybe you've heard of some of his many_ pictures — "Gone With The Wind", for instance. "Captains Courageous" too. A capable chap, you'll agree. Screen play by John Lee Mahin and Benjamin Glazer. fcs^, • * • On the horizon also is Leo's speedy musical "Ship Ahoy". Coming to you in a breeze on waves of laughter with a cargo of stars and songs and swing-tunes and saucy sirens.
