So good you’ll wish it were longer. (Oct.) APOLOGY FOR MURDER— PRC: Faintly reminiscent of “Double Indemnity, ’ this has Ann Savage as the nasty one who lures newspaperman Hugfi Beaumont on to murder. The story hits a vacuum every so often that leaves the audience wondering what they’re wasting their time for. (Dec.) BEHIND CITY LIGHTS— Republic: Lynne Roberts is a country girl who isn’t satisfied with her farmer beau, William Terry, so she goes on to the city only to discover that the new love she meets there is a jewel thief. Esther Dale as her aunt and Peter Cookson and Jerome Cowan as the city slickers contribute to the proceedings.

(Dec.) l /CAPTAIN KIDD — Bogeaus UA: Charles Laughton chortling and strutting is real fun, even if this is an old tale, and Randy Scott as a nobleman posing as a pirate didn’t convince us. Barbara Britton is pretty; John Carradine, Reginald Owen and Gilbert Roland add to the hokum and fun. (Nov.) CARIBBEAN MYSTERY, THE— 20th CenturyFox Strange to find James Dunn playing another standard movie detective after his hit m ‘‘A Tree Grows In Brooklyn,” this time m a Caribbean jungle with hidden treasure and corpses.

(Oct.) 1 /yCHRlSTMAS IN CONNECTICUT— 'Warners: Barbara Stanwyck gets trapped when her publisher, Sydney Greenstreet, insists she entertain sailor Dennis Morgan at her farm with her husband, baby and luscious cooking, none of which exists.

COME OUT FIGHTING— Monogram: Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Gabriel Dell and other unreformed Eastside Kids get mixed up with the police again, this time innocently on account of their practicing for the interborough boxing tournament, if you care. June Carlson, Amelita Ward, Addison Richards and George Meeker are in it too. (Dec.) DANGEROUS INTRUDER— PRC: Veda Ann Borg is the unfortunate victim struck by a car and taken into the home of a paranoiac killer who has murdered his wife and servant and is starting on his stepdaughter. Richard Powers saves them in time. (Nov.) DANGEROUS PARTNERS— M-G-M: How can a studio which has turned out such fine movies also turn out little baddies like this? James Craig has to be a heel and then turn hero in it, Edmund Gwenn has to be a Nazi agent, and Signe Hasso a much putupon heroine. We’re still mixed up. (Nov.) i /DOLLY SISTERS, THE — 20th Century-Fox: Reputed to be a biographical film of the famous Dolly Sisters who sang and danced their way to international fame, it is instead the same old Technicolor musical you’ve been seeing for years.

(Dec.) 1 sy DUFFY’S TAVERN — Paramount: All Paramount stars (except Hope) arriving at Duffy's to help Archie out of a jam makes this fun all the way, with Victor Moore staying off the police as Archie introduces the acts: Crosby, Goddard, Ladd, Lake and many more. Ed. Gardner in his original radio role. (Oct.) y ENCHANTED FOREST, THE — PRC: A charming, truly different movie, with Harry Davenport as a sort of forest hermit who rescues a baby and raises the lad amidst his forest friends until the mother, Brenda Joyce, returns to the woods. The little animals of the forest capture the honors from the human actors, lending it all a Walt Disney flavor that is charming. It’s in cinacolor which is new and exciting. (Dec.) FALCON IN SAN FRANCISCO — RKO : Poor old Falcon, Tom Conway, running into a murder on his vacation-bound train! Of course, he solves everything, but ends up pretty tired. Rita Corday is a pretty ingenue. (Oct.) 1 /FIGHTING GUARDSMAN THE— Columbia: Old world whoop-la, packed with fights, brawls and romantic shenanigans. Willard Parker is the nobleman who aids the peasants in taking arms against Louis XVI, and he and his friends steal the royal taxes to divide it among the poor.

(Nov.)

(Nov.) L/l /HER HIGHNESS AND THE BELLBOY— M-G-M: The charming tale will carry you straight to a happy and delightful story-book land, where Robert Walker is the bellhop assigned to Princess Hedy Lamarr in a famous New York hotel. June Allyson is the little cripple Bob really loves. (Oct.) HIDDEN EYE, THE — M-G-M: This time Edward Arnold, as the blind detective with the smart dog Friday, catches a crooked lawyer who is after an inheritance by slowly murdering each heir. Frances Rafferty and Paul Langford are the romantic twosome and Ray Collins the bad man. (Oct.) I /yHOLD THAT BLONDE — Paramount: Eddie Bracken is a kleptomaniac who attempts to follow his psychiatrist’s advice and find himself a girl. So he not only finds Veronica Lake, but also swipes her compact in which is hidden the combination of a safe holding a priceless necklace. From then on the farce gets faster and sillier, but you’ll find yourself laughing all over the place. (Dec.) HOLLYWOOD AND VINE — PRC: James Ellison, a New York playwright, is introduced to a would-be actress, Wanda McKay, through her dog, and she, unaware of his importance, helps him find a job as soda jerker while his producer, his director and his girl go crazy, but it really isn’t very good. (Nov.) yy HOUSE ON 92nd STREET — 20th Century-Fox: The FBI’s factual account of German agents seeking the secrets of our atomic bomb, how nearly they succeeded and how our men out-guessed them. With the exception of Lloyd Nolan, all FBI members are played by themselves. Bill Eythe plays the young American of German extraction whose patriotism is tested and not found wanting. Signe Hasso and Gene Lockhart play very clever spies. (Nov.) \/IN HOLLYWOOD — M-G-M: Real corn, but a little better than average Abbott-Costello fare, with the boys playing studio barbers who decide to turn agents and get rich. Their only client, Bob Stanton, almost gives up before finally becoming a star playing opposite the girl he adores, Frances Rafferty. (Nov.) 24
