Na ' i I .J into a master Fifth Column spy ring, aids in their capture and returns to Army life a chastened lad — peering through guardhouse windows. Helen Walker, a newcomer, plays the Canteen waitress. Marie MacDonald, Mabel Paige, Sheldon Leonard and Floyd Corrigan keep the action moving. What says, movie-goers, we all get together and demand bigger and better pictures for Ladd, the boy who can really put it across. Your Reviewer Says: Lucky us, with lucky Ladd. "^ Happy Go Lucky (Paramount) It's About: A phony heiress on a tropical isle. I N the West Indies, or wherever Calypso ' singers abound, they have a love potion that when merely sprayed in the breeze renders the oddest people amorous to an alarming degree. Betty Hutton worked it on Eddie Bracken and got him right up to the altar. Mary Martin, a phony heiress out to marry money, found it worked so well on millionaire Rudy Vallee she almost became his wife; that is, after Dick Powell, an Island roustabout and Rudy's friend, had tried every plan to bring Mary and Rudy together. But, of course, you know who Mary really loved and got, don't you? Yep, Powell himself. Mary sings cutely and Betty Hutton sings loudly. Both are good. Sir Lancelot, the Calypso singer, is new and different and his impromptu lyrics and melodies most fascinating. All in all it's a swell little movie and one everyone should enjoy. Your Reviewer Says: Lighthearted as a firefly. ^ Gentleman Jim (Warners) It's About: The supposed lije story oj a Gay Nineties ring champion. COR those who enjoy plenty of screened ' prize fighting (and this reviewer doesn't) the story of egotistical Jim Corbett, the bare-fisted fighter who knocked out the famous John L. Sullivan, has plenty of entertainment in store. Errol Flynn makes a believable Corbett. His performances in the ring are most credible, but we can't help but feel the dramatic license taken with the true life story of the fighter has been overdone. Corbett must be twirling in his grave at several of the dreamed-up sequences. Alexis Smith is very good as the daughter of the rich San Franciscan who deplores the boorish, obnoxious manners of the "wrong side of the track" Corbett. whose only claim to "gentlemanliness" was his clothes. Ward Bond, as the defeated Sullivan who finally teaches Corbett humility, is outstanding. Very good, too, is Jack Carson as the champion's pal. Alan Hale, John Loder and William Frawley contribute mightily to the story. Your Reviewer Says: A man's treat. * Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant (M-G-M) It's About: Mystery of an amnesia victim. WELL, well, well, they've put new life in the old series and the result is like a discouraged woman who buys a new hat. You'd never know the old girl, or old boy it is this time, for Dr. Gillespie, played as usual by Lionel Barrymore. acquires three new assistants, namely Keye Luke, Richard Quine and Van Johnson. These lads are gathered together by the Doctor to help solve the mystery of an amnesia victim, Susan Peters, a bride who runs out on her marriage to Horace McNally. Of course, it turns out little Susan is faking, but my, oh my, the lots of interesting people it takes to discover the fact. And what surprisingly good entertainment it all turns out to be. Your Reviewer Says: What wonderful bedside manners! Strictly in the Groove (Universal) It's About: A college jive band out West. A CCORDING to Universal Studios, all 'v college students are either interested in putting on a show or in organizing a band. Study? What's that? And who cares, according to movies? So, my friends, we come to another group of boys and girls jive crazier than a tree frog. When the dad of one lad nixes the college nonsense, the entire group moves out West to a dude ranch and lands a radio show. Are we crazy, or are you? Or is it the studio? Anyway, the music is hot, the kids hep. the songs lovely, the dancing good, so what the heck. Among those present are Mary Healy, Richard Davies, Leon Errol, Grace McDonald, Ozzie Nelson, Shemp Howard and others.
