Y. she can “put the finger” on one of them for a murder she witnessed . . . and it takes lots of Hutton vocal chords, and Mature strength, to bring her back alive. The villain, Hairdo Lempke, is played by Frank Loesser, the guy who pens sweet musical numbers like “Slow Boat to China.” The action runs from the ridiculous to the ridiculous — Betty’s interpretation of “Hamlet’s” mad Ophelia is enough to make Shakespeare sit up in his grave and roar. This is a Hutton riot from the first chuckle to the last belly laugh. ABANDONED (U.I.) ♦ ♦ One of the biggest scandals to hit this country recently was the news about the nefarious adoption rackets — where babies are sold on the black market. This doc¬ umentary film brings the story to the screen. Gale Storm comes to California to look for her missing sister, and finds that she has died mysteriously, after having given birth to a child out of wedlock. Newspaperman Dennis O’Keefe suspects there may be a story behind this, and offers to help Gale track down the truth. Before long they realize that the unsus¬ pecting girl had been victimized by an illegal baby adoption syndicate. To¬ gether, they uncover the ugly business in which racketeers lure unwed mothers into selling their children. Though slow moving, this film is in¬ teresting and important; for it exposes one of the most criminal evils of pres¬ ent-day society. FATHER WAS A FULLBACK (20th) ♦♦ Father (Fred MacMurray) finds his job as football coach at State University as rough as a T formation. The Alumni Association, headed by Rudy Vallee, ex¬ pects miracles from the mediocre (to put it mildly) State team. Though his pretty wife, Maureen O’Hara, does her best to block the kicks of misfortune, Fred knows he must do the impossible to keep his job. His team must win a game. Two unpredictable young daughters (Betty Lynn and Natalie Wood) don’t make the situation any easier. Betty is dateless — a severe calamity at the age of 15. When she dramatically renounces men, and locks herself in her room to devote herself to literature, not even Fred would dream she’d write an article called “I Was a Child Bubble Dancer” — and have it published! Such goings on would be a blow to any coach’s job, even one who’s team wasn’t consistently ringing up zeros. Pigskins, romance and college life are brightly combined to make “Father Was a Fullback” fun for your entire family. SAINTS AND SINNERS (Alexander Korda) . 4 + According to this charming Irish film, a lot of supposed saints would turn out to be sinners, if the truth were told. The cast of this tale of Irish village life is composed of the famous Abbey Theatre Players of Dublin, and begorra, they’re good! Michael Kissane, an innocent man con¬ victed of stealing church funds, returns to his native village and is shunned by everyone — even his lovely sweetheart. In an effort to help Michael, and re¬ veal the real culprit, old Ma Mumaghan foretells the end of the world; and the superstitious villagers believe her. They flock to the Canon to be confessed before the disaster occurs, and the holy man is shocked by the sins supposedly good peo¬ ple admit to having committed. Of course, the world doesn’t come to an end. The Canon rewards the villagers’ lack of faith with a tongue-lashing and a penance, Michael gets his girl, and all ends happily. This is a quaint tale from Irish folk¬ lore. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS (UJ.) ♦ If history could be told to children in this manner, it might be more interest¬ ing to them. Although slow moving, and not particularly exciting, the story sticks faithfully to history. Fredric March plays Christopher Co¬ lumbus, the great adventurer whose dreams were scoffed at. Florence Eldridge is Queen Isabella, who finally aided the explorer when it became evi¬ dent that the court of France might be more interested in his schemes — and the land and treasures he expected to find in the Orient. Though grownups may find this a bit dull, the costumes and scenery combine with actual fact to make this picture a living history lesson in Technicolor. The superstitions, court intrigue, jealousies and living conditions of 15th Century Spain are depicted; and the voyage to the New World (though not as thrilling as it might have been) is interesting. FEELING ALL RIGHT “Venereal disease is the curse of civil¬ ization.” How many times have you heard that phrase? And exactly how much do you know about the origins and results of this dreaded affliction? In a simple, down-to-earth manner, the Columbia University Press tells the story of venereal disease, and the havoc it wreaks in present-day society. This film makes no pretext of entertainment; it is a documentary which teaches facts everyone should know. The cast of “Feeling All Right” is made up of a group of unprofessional Missis¬ sippi Negroes, and the story is told in a frank and forthright manner. This film is available to churches, clubs, and neighborhood theaters. If it is not shown in your community; you may request it from the Department of Health in your state, or from the Com¬ munications Materials Center of the Co¬ lumbia University Press.
