And how we've ' ' laughed at Laurel and Hardy in the past, and how we're still laughing at these masters of nuttery who close up their small-town bicycle shop and set off for the wars. However, branch after branch of the service refuses the pair and they finally return home to become air-raid wardens. Every possible blunder known to man is committed by the boys, until the chief warden can endure them no longer. On their own, the lads finally round up a gang of saboteurs and emerge heroes. Stan and Ollie are in rare form, with Edgar Kennedy going along for the laughs. Pretty Jacqueline White and Horace McNally are the slightly romantic twosome. Your Reviewer Says: book. Funnier than a joke The Falcon Strikes Back (RKO-Radio) It's About: The amateur detective who finds himselj framed. GEORGE SANDERS, the original Falcon, has now been eliminated entirely from this series with his brother, Tom Conway, supplanting him as the amateur sleuth with an eye for a pretty girl. In fact, it's this very weakness that leads Conway into becoming the victim of a brawl in a phony barroom. While he is unconscious, thieves use his car in a huge bond theft. When Mr. Conway attempts to explain to the cops, he finds the barroom gone and also his alibi. So, with the aid of his stooge, Cliff Edwards, and pretty Jane Randolph, the woman reporter, Conway digs in and solves the crime. Edgar Kennedy decorates the proceedings. Harriet Hilliard, Wynne Gibson and Rita Corday complete the cast. Your Reviewer Says: Neat little thing. ** Next Of Kin (Universal) It's Abouf: How loose talk can lose lives. THIS is truly a "strike home" picture, ' filled with suspense, excitement, thrills. It is a vivid — and terrifying — portrayal of how loose talk can lose lives of loved ones. Two German spies are sent to England. One is caught promptly by an alert Tommy; the other escapes to join the huge net of Nazi spies already in Britain. There follows an exciting account of how he manages to get a complete picture of a secret British plan to wipe out a German submarine base in Occupied France. Through the film march the tragically innocent betrayers of England — the officer who, in exchange for a date, tells a spy dancer where the brigade chosen for the attack is training; the soldier in the brigade who, against all rules, sneaks out a letter to his sweetheart, a Dutch refugee working in a bookshop, thereby subjecting her to horrors at the hands of the Nazis; the lax officer who fails to guard well enough the final plans for the attack. Because of the weakness of these people, the Germans are ready when the English strike and this English victory, which could have been such a glorious one, becomes merely an achievement of an objective at the cost of heavy casualties. To the "Next of Kin," then, are sent the tragic telegrams — because people talked! A British-produced film, this has a prologue and epilogue by our own J. Edgar Hoover. Your Reviewer Says: If you don't see this, you should have a guilty conscience. W Desert Victory (Twentieth Century-Fox) It's About: Rommel's African rout. THIS is it — the picture to silence forever the arm-chair critics of the African war! Filmed by the British during actual combat that starts with El Alamein, it is the most superb factual picture to come out of the war thus far. You see a new manner of warfare, with General Montgomery insisting every private under his command have complete understanding of the military objective and the strategy and methods by which he means to take it. You see supply lines — the longest in history — and you begin to realize the magnitude of the African effort. You see men fighting and dying. You see our forces burying our dead and the enemy dead too; and new hate for the Nazi's way of living and fighting rises within you. You see a Highlander crossing the desert at the height of a hellish fight, his skirts swinging and his pipes sounding, and new courage springs into your heart. Here is the chance for the folks back home to learn, at first hand, what goes on where their loved ones fight. Your Reviewer Soys: It makes your newspaper headlines come excitingly alive. Your boy in the service might do the same thing — and you might be guilty yourself if you don't see "Next Of Kin" with Nova Pilbeamand Geoffrey Hibbert J.
