Shadow Stage (Continued from page 4) W Once Upon a Honeymoon (RKO-Radio) It's About: An interrupted honeymoon in interrupted Europe. COMEDY in the 1943 manner, heavy of hand and heart, with most of the gushingly bright spontaneity of former years gone with the wind, is this super special de luxe film that combines love, comedy and tragedy in one dish, garnished for splendor with the acting of Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers and embellished with the directorial touches of Leo McCarey. Three-fourths of this picture, which we predict will break house records everywhere, is terrific and the dragging, lagging one-fourth will probably be eliminated anyway, so let's forget it. Ginger is a Brooklyn strip-teaser masquerading as a Philadelphia socialite in Austria during Hitler's invasion. In fact, Ginger marries Walter Slezak, an Austrian secret agent of Hitler's, and finds herself in the midst of one collapsing country after another. Finally convinced by Cary Grant, an American radio commentator, that her husband is a traitor, she begins with him a hazardous trek through one country after another until they eventually head homeward. Albert Dekker, Albert Basserman and Natasha Lytess add immeasurably to the story. Your Reviewer Says: A Class A-l special. " Reunion (M-G-M) It's About: The head of a Paris Underground. THE best things about this Nazi-laden ' story are the surprise twists, the suspense, Philip Dorn, Joan Crawford and the terrific work of the supporting cast. For the first time that we can recollect, life among the Nazis in Paris, their everyday activities and social life have been clearly set forth — and the picture isn't pretty, bringing home forcefully the repugnance of the deplorable situation. Philip Dorn, too long doomed to obscurity, is terrific as the loyal Frenchman presumably pro-Nazi. When his fiancee, Joan Crawford, spoiled, beautiful rich Parisian, discovers his tendencies she leaves him, although her love can't be killed. Befriending American John Wayne, an RAF flier in Paris, she sues Dorn to obtain papers that will permit their escape. And that's when the surprises pop over our heads like so many toy balloons. Reginald Owen, Albert Basserman, John Carradine, J. Edward Bromberg and Moroni Olsen lend magnificent support. Your Reviewer Soys: Suspense with a big S. " Lucky Jordan (Paramount) It's About: A racketeer who goes A.W.O.L. I N a picture much less dramatic and important than his former ones, Alan Ladd stands out like a searchlight in a dimout. In his role of Lucky Jordan, Alan is again the steely-hearted tough but appealing guy who tries to "fix" his draft board.
