Reformer Dick Powell runs for mayor with the support of corrupt political boss. Redhead June Allyson hates corruption, loves Powell, reforms him. MOVIE REVIEWS 1 THE REFORMER AND THE REDHEAD Cast: June Allyson. Dick Powell. Cecil Kellaway, David Wayne. MGM ■ June Allyson's father (Cecil Kellaway), who runs a zoo better than anybody, has been removed from his post by political maneuvering, and June's on the warpath. Along comes Dick Powell, embryo politician, supposed reformer. June thinks he's going to clean up the town, doesn't know he's really getting support from the corrupt town officials. So then a lion escapes. And David Wayne is Dick's campaign manager, and David and Dick have a secretary (his name is Marvin Kaplan) who's hilarious, and June and Dick fall in love, and Dick gives up his corrupt supporters and turns hero. After that, he captures the escaped lion. Very satisfying. Of course there are really two lions, and Dick thinks he is capturing the pussy-cat type, and really he is capturing the man-eating type, but you know MGM isn't going to let anything happen to Dick Powell. It would make June Allyson too mad. 14
