Salute to the Marines: James Brown, John Wayne, John Agar carry on in the tradition of the Leathernecks
^ (F) Sands of Iwo Jima (Republic)
THIS lively fight-filled picture points up the rigors of Marine warfare. Battle scenes, culminating in the capture of Iwo Jima, are thrillingly depicted.
As the traditionally tough sergeant, who is a good guy underneath, John Wayne is attractively rugged. A little too rugged as far as his men are concerned, especially John Agar, a boyishly belligerent leatherneck. Wayne tries to win his friendship to no avail. Others in the company are husky Forrest Tucker, James Brown and Arthur Franz. Wally Cassell clicks as a happy-go-lucky fellow.
In the romance department, there’s Adele Mara whom Agar woos and weds in record time. Julie Bishop sympathetically plays a girl who picks up Wayne in a bar.
Your Reviewer Says: Hard-hitting war epic.
(A) Woman in Hiding (Universal-International )
EVER was a damsel in deeper distress than Ida Lupino in this suspenseful melodrama. Howard Duff is just the lad to rescue her, but he places her in greater jeopardy than ever!
True, Duff is unaware that Ida is being hounded by her big brute of a husband, Stephen McNally. Ida runs away on her wedding night after learning from McNally’s erstwhile sweetheart that he was the cause of her father’s “accidental” death. Thereafter, Ida becomes a prospective corpse.
Lupino successfully conveys the fear of a fugitive from death; Duff combines nonchalance and gallantry; McNally inspires terror and newcomer Peggy Dow is a standout as the “other woman.”
Your Reviewer Says: A spine-tingling yarn.

Romance on the range: Alexis Smith wins Errol Flynn’s heart in a fast-moving tale of the sheep country
^ (F) Montana (Warners)
GET set for a rousing tale of the range starring Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith. Decked out in Technicolor, it’s plumb full of hard riding, straight shooting and fast wooing.
An Australian sheep rancher who won’t take no for an answer, Flynn brings his flocks to the cattle barons’ land in Montana of 1879. Their territory is a closed corporation from which strangers, in general, and lowly sheep herders, in particular, are barred by six-shooters. Practically all Montana is owned by Alexis, a high-spirited gun-totin’ wench, and her wealthy fiance, Douglas Kennedy. Flynn’s objective is to wangle grazing land for his sheep on one hand, and steal the lovely redhead from Kennedy on the other. How he does it makes for a brisk action film.
Your Reviewer Says: Big breezy Western.
