Cary Grant Important Pictures [Continued from page 69] suspense and drama, and richly enacted by an outstanding cast, which also includes Peter Lorre, Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet. ONCE UPON A HONEYMOON *** R-K-O-Radio ■ A curious combination of comedy and tragedy characterize Once Upon a Honeynioon. It is mainly a comedy, but at times the laughter only thinly conceals the serious undertone of the film. When viewed through the eyes of two adventurous Americans, even the conquest of Europe may have its more humorous aspects. Ginger Rogers plays an ex-stripper with a phony Bostonian accent, who marries an Austrian baron (Walter Slezak) . The couple spend their honeymoon traveling from one small European country to the other. The suspicions of the girl are raised when an American newspaper man (Cary Grant), who has been following the honeymooners, points out that each country has fallen to the Nazis as soon as her husband appeared on the scene. In the bombing of Warsaw the baron shows his true colors — he is a Nazi agent. Ginger leaves him and she and Cary manage to stay just a jump ahead of the German Army in its sweep across Europe. They meet the baron again in Paris when the Germans enter the city. How Ginger finished him off ends the film on a comedy note. Throughout, the serious side is neatly balanced by the antics of the always captivating Grant who can charm an audience in a twinkle of an eye. PITTSBURGH ••• V niversal ■ Against a background of the coal mines around Pittsburgh, John Wayne and Randolph Scott again fight it out over Marlene Dietrich. This time Scott gets to marry the girl. There's plenty of melodrama in the story of two coal miners who slug their way to the top of the heap, one idealistic and humanitarian, the other selfish and egotistical. Marlene falls in love with the wrong one, but learns the error of his ways when success goes to his head and he hurts everyone who helped him in the past. To further his ambitions he marries Louise Allbritton, a debutante, which breaks Marlene's heart and throws her into the arms of the other man, good, old, reliable Scott. Through his unfair dealings, Wayne goes down and down, finally suffering a reformation after the war begins, when he and Scott go back into partnership and start turning out bombers for the Government. The keynote of Pittsburgh, is a direct appeal to all the workers to speed up the great American production record — to keep turning 'em out for victory.
