been tne scene of carnage, he calls to Grant, ' Save me. Doctor." "The age-old cry," Grant says. "Save me, doctor." Then he shakes j his head and mutters, "Save me, anybody." Acting's all fine, and Signe Hasso, as Mrs. Dictator, is exceptionally beautiful. Cast: Cary Giant, Jose Ferrer, Paula Raymond, Signe Hasso. — MGM. UNION STATION William Holden is the detective chief of a certain big city's Union Station. When a kidnap-and-possible-murder case suddenly starts developing in the middle of his beat, it upsets him. Case concerns the abduction of a young blind girl (Allene Roberts), daughter of a millionaire. An employee Nancy Olson) of the millionaire sees two men with guns leaving a train, and that's Holden's first warning of trouble. The trouble mounts. Lyle Bettger, who plays the abductor, likes to smack the little blind girl till she hollers, and when his mistress — or moll, I guess — is shot trying to warn him about the cops, he shoves her out of his car onto the street, and drives away. In case you're worrying, he meets a bad end. And there's plenty of tension before that end, too. Cast: William Holden, Nancy Olson, Barry Fitzgerald. — Paramount. THE WHITE TOWER Based on the best-selling novel, The White Tower concerns a whole group of people who want to get to the top of a man-killing mountain in Switzerland, each for reasons of his own. Climbers include Valli, whose father was killed climbing the very same mountain, Glenn Ford, who's an amiable American just going along for the ride, Oscar Homolka, a guide, Claude Rains, a Frenchman "weary of the world," Sir Cedric Hardwicke, a botanist, and Lloyd Bridges, an ex-Nazi who still doesn't smell too sweet. The climb is the most fearful thing you ever witnessed, and the scenery some of the most awe-inspiring. Poor Claude Rains is given lines so hammy you cringe for htm, Homolka gives a most delightful performance, a couple of people are killed, and love comes to live with Glenn and Valli. What more can you demand in one picture? Don't ask me did anybody get to the top. I'm not telling. Cast: Glenn Ford, Valli, Claude Rains, Oscar Homolka. — RKO.
