Modern Screen (Dec 1952 - Nov 1953)

: being. Eventually, the police arrive and in a wild surge of panic Kirk barricades himself in Milly's house threatening to come out shooting. The strength of Milly's love crumples his resistance and he surrenders to arrest, rehabilitation and — perhaps — a new life. Kirk handles his part sensitively and well, and is surprisingly adept as a clown-juggler. But what really sets the picture apart is the fact that it was filmed in Israel and all of the backgrounds are fresh and exciting. The plot, unfortunately is often found lagging way behind the scenery. CAST: Kirk Douglas, Milly Vitale, Paul Stewart. Joey Walsh, Oscar Karlweis — Columbia THE GIRL NEXT DOOR June Haver's last movie before she entered a convent, recently, is a tender little triangle concerning a night club singer (June), a cartoonist (Dan Dailey) and Dan's son (Billy Gray). Billy is one of the few child actors you don't mind watching — that boy has charm. They all live next door to each other. June's a new neighbor, celebrating her own arrival with a huge garden party. Suddenly a flock of pigeons swoop down over the guests followed shortly by billows of smoke. Seems that father and son are cooking hamburgers on their outdoor barbecue — the pigeons are theirs, too. June marches over to give them what for — and not much later, it's love. Billy objects. He wants exclusive ownership of his father for purposes of hunting and fishing in the North Woods. While the romance is working itself out June's friend, Cara Williams, is unsuccessfully resisting the advances of Dennis Day. The story's slim, but that's all it's supposed to be. The glow's in the Technicolor, the singing, the dancing and, happily enough, there's enough of that to keep everybody in good spirits. CAST: Dan Dailey, June Haver, Dennis Day, Billy Gray, Cara Williams— 20th CenturyFox BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON This is a family affair full of old-fashioned song and sentiment. You keep thinking you've seen all this before, and you have. Nevertheless, the picture's full of chuckles and warmth. Setting's a small town after the first World War. Leon Ames and Rosemary DeCamp are the parents of Doris Day and 12-year-old Billy Gray. Mary Wickes is the faithful but sarcastic maid. They live in a comfortable home, Doris p*lans to marry her childhood sweetheart (Gordon Macrae), Billy is full of growing boy mischief (he has a turkey he pretends to kill for their Thanskgiving Dinner, but he swipes the neighbor's bird instead) and everybody's happy. Until scandal strikes. Father, after 20 years of wedded bliss, seems to be involved with an exotic actress — Maria Palmer. Seems to be is right, because he's as innocent as a babe, but his children don't think so. His children valiantly set about to save him from himself. Naturally, they get all tangled up in their own web and Doris has weepy spells. But one moonlit night at Miller's Pond when the ice is hard and the spirits light, the happy truth is revealed. That actress was merely a business acquaintance of Dad's, kids, so you see, life is beautiful. Especially in Technicolor. This is a sequel, incidentally, to Doris and Gordon's hit On Moonlight Bay.
