I w I I I I "THE EGG AND I" Some twenty-odd million people have read Betty MacDonald's delightful best-seller. Spurred on by the hit-'em-from-every-angle exploitation campaign being put on by Universal-International, the movie version figures to be seen by quite a few millions more. Nor will they be disappointed, for producer-writers Chester Erskine (he also direct ed) and Fred F. Finklehoffe have captured to a thoroughly-satisfying degree the charm and humor in this story of a city-bred girl who is plunged by her equally-city-bred bridegroom into the primitive life of a chicken rancher. As played by Claudette Colbert (above), Fred MacMurray and a shrewdly selected supporting cast, the proceedings are great fun. ClAUOETTE COIBERI FRED MocMURRAY MARJORIEMAIN LOUISE ALLBRITTON .
