Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1939)

TZLL NO TALES— M-G-M The story of a hundred dollar bill, part of a kidnaper's loot, traced down by Newspaper Editor Melvyn Douglas, who saves his bankrupt paper as a result of a scoop he gets. Louise Piatt helps him. Good suspense. (August) THEY MADE HER A SPY— RKO-Radio Hollywood is hepped up over the spy scares — result: Sally Eiler's brother invents a new shell and is killed; she becomes a member of a spy ring; so does reporter Allan Lane. If you think real hard you may guess the ending. (June) •k THREE SMART GIRLS GROW UP— Universal A little more grown-up. with her voice in perfect condition. Deanna Durbin pulls this sequel to her first success onto the gravy train. Nan Grey and Helen Parrish are her sisters whose love affairs Deanna tries to straighten out — but with what resultsl Surprise of the picture is Robert Cum mings. Charles Winninger does a splendid bit as the father. (June) THREE WALTZES— Vedis Films As effervescent as champagne, this French picture provides a field day for Yvonne Printemps, who sings to the dreamy Strauss music which high lights three romances, ranging from the court of Louis Napoleon to a modern film studio. Pierre Fresney's dramatic abilities don't get much chance. (July) ir UNION PACIFIC— Paramount It's altogether breath-taking and wonderful— this 1939 version of "The Iron Horse." You'll die a thousand deaths and grunt with each swing of the hammer before the spikes finally unite the Union Pacific with the Central Pacific. It's lusty and romantic— with Trouble-shooter Joel McCrea and Gambler Robert Preston both falling in love with the Irish postmistress, Barbara Stanwyck. Lynne Overman and Akim Tamiroff are swell. (July) ic WINTER CARNIVAL— Wanger-U.A. Here's a new Ann Sheridan, in her first starring role. She's a streamlined young duchess, fleeing notoriety over her divorce, who finds herself at the Dartmouth winter carnival, where she meets Richard Carlson, a sweetheart she once jilted. While they are redeveloping their romance, newshawks and photographers descend upon them. Things pop merrily. And you'll have fun. (August) WITHIN THE LAW— M-G-M It's a story of vengeance, with a good new twist in it. Ruth Hussey gets sent to prison for a crime she didn't commit. When released she sets about revenging herself by marrying Tom Neal, son of the man who sent her up. Things go awry when she falls in love with the boy. (June) WOLF CALL— Monogram Jack London wrote a pretty good movie when he set "Wolf Call" on paper. John Carroll is a playboy who goes up to a radium mine to get perspective on life and love. He does. Movita, playing an Indian girl, provides romance. (August) jr WUTHERING HEIGHTS— Sam GoldwynUnited Artists No humor has been added to this famous Bronte classic. It introduces Laurence Olivier as the outcast loved by Merle Oberon. But when Merle's desire for jewels leads to her marriage to rich David K'iven. hate rules the moors. The fine acting of Miss Oberon and Olivier, the restraint of Niven and the performances of Geraldine Fitzgerald and Flura Robson make this picture a must. (June) •k YOUNG MR. LINCOLN— 20th CenturyFox Henry Fonda, exponent of the lanky farm-boy characterization, will make you forget any previous Fonda portrayals. You are offered Lincoln in the formative phase of his career and the picture culminates in his defense of two brothers, seemingly scheduled for the gallows. Romance hangs on the story of Lincoln's love for Ann Rutledge (Pauline Moore). Alice Brady is excellent as the frontier woman. Don't miss this. (August) ZENOBIA— Hal Roach-United Artists In this Harry Langdon replaces Oliver Hardy's old sidekick — Stan Laurel. The main laugh gag is an ailing elephant who is cured by Doctor Hardy's pink pills. Jean Parker, James Ellison, Alice Brady and June Lang add to the merriment — or is it confusion? {June) Casts of Current Pictures "BACHELOR MOTHER"— RKORadio. — Screen play by Norman Krasna.
