EXPLOITATION PICTURE of the issue "Dear Ruth Norman Krasna's original stajio play wa? quite a funny tiling ( it ran for two and one-half years on Broadway I , ?o it is high compliment indeed to say that the picture is even better. FILM BULLETIN'S reviewer found more laughs in the film and the pace faster. He guessed that the dialogue, too, might be funnier, but couldn't vouch for that because the guffaws of the audience attending the sneak preview at the Paramount in New York drowned out so many of the lines. "Dear Ruth" tells of the hilarious happenings wrought by teen-age Mona Freeman, who writes ardent love letters to an unknown boy overseas, signing the name of her older sister, Joan Caulfield, and enclosing her picture. The boy. William Holden, shows up on a two-day leave and commences a hectic courtship of surprised Joan, to the consternation of her parent? and the bewilderment of her flustered fiance, Billy De^^olff.
