(April.) \/HIGHER AND HIGHER—RKO: Frank Sinatra’s first picture is far from a classic, but he saves the day by his complete naturalness and by some very ffood songs. The story has Jack Haley, the butler of impoverished Leon Errol, cooking up the idea of having scullery maid Michele Morgan pose as Errol’s debutante daughter, so she can trap a rich man and all the servants can be paid. (March.) HOT RHYTHM — Monogram: A cute little budget musical with Robert Lowery and Sidney Miller as song writers who try to help singer Dona Drake land a job with an orchestra. Irene Ryan is the wacky secretary who takes credit for the recording Dona makes, and from then on all sorts of complications arise. Tim Ryan is the studio boss. (May.) > HOUR BEFORE THE DAWN, THE— Paramount : Franchot Tone deadpans his way through his role of an English conscientious objector who marries Veronica Lake and later discovers that she’s a German « spy who’s married him in order to stay in England J vancJ keep on spying. Binnie Barnes and John Sutton strive bravely to make this good entertainment, but i it turns out to be dull and unexciting. (May.) J IMPOSTOR, THE — Universal: Despite the talents of Jean Gabin, Richard Whorf, Allyn Joslyn, Ellen ; Drew, and Peter Van Eyck, this turns out to be a bore. The story has convict Gabin escaping from a bombed out prison in France, working his way to a French seaport, and taking a freighter to Dakar, where he eventually becomes regenerated through loyalty to the Free French. (May.) ^IN OUR TIME — Warners: The performances of ' Ida Lupino and Paul Henreid lift this story into a fairly engrossing tale. The first half which tells of ’ their ineeting is charming, but after their marriage j that brings on a flood of social and family problems, I it goes into the usual fare of war and its effect on the J. various lives of the characters involved. (May.) \/<yYIT HAPPENED TOMOERO fU—PressburgerL^.A.: Dick Powell has never given a better per S formance than as the reporter who through the super J natural powers of a departed friend is able to predict m tomorrow’s news today. The success and havoc it *; brings into his life provides sheer entertainment, and ' the love story between Dick and Linda Darnell is especially tender and real. With Jack Oakie. (April.) ^ y^^JANE EYRE — 20th Century-Fox: The best love story to be told from the screen since “Love ii Affair’’ has Orson Welles as the headstrong, im ii petuous Rochester. Welles is wonderful. Joan Fontaine as the timid, retiring governess to his child, ^ Margaret O’Brien, is the perfect foil for him. Peggy f Ann Garner as the child Jane, Edith Barrett as the l! housekeeper and Henry Daniel are all excellent, fc (Dec.) U ^/^'KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDA K — PCA U. A. : The stage play has been lifted bodily to the screen \ and the results are pleasing but puzzling, although : j Nelson Eddy’s arresting presence and hie voice keep ’ ^ the whole business intact. Charles (Joburn as Gov ]l ernor Peter Stuyvesant has been more happily cast ■ in the past, but the idea behind the tale is fun and ■ the music’s swell. With Constance Dowling. (May.) a \/'\y'LADY IN THE DARK — Paramount: Techni J color triumph with the story taking second place to the rainbow riot of sets, clothes and accessories. Ginger Rogers is the editor of a swank fashion magazine who goes to a psychiatrist to solve her dreams and moods of depression. The solving carries her off into dream fantasies which are arrestingly lovely. With Ray Milland, Jon Hall and Mischa Auer. (April.) : \^LApY . LET’S DANCE! — Monogram: The story ^ is ridiculous, but blonde newcomer Belita skates divinely, acts delightfully and looks well while doing both. The ice comics, Frick and Frack, handsome James Ellison, musical Henry Busse and Walter Catlett share the story with her but it’s Belita i whose talent you’ll enjoy. (April.) i ^^LIFEBOAT — 20th Century-Fox: An exciting story which takes place entirely amid the cramped quarters of a lifeboat, with Tallulah Bankhead giving a magnificent performance as the hard-boiled writer and photographer. John Hodiak, tycoon Henry Hull, William Bendix, Canada Lee, Mary Anderson and Hume Cronyn are among its occupants, along with Nazi Walter Slezak, who tries to take command. (April.) ^^LODGER, THE — 20th Century-Fox: Sheer, unadulterated horror with Laird Cregar as Jack The Ripper who terrorized London many years ago.
