Sydney Greenstreet is the Examiner, John Garfield the unhappy newspaper correspondent, Eleanor Parker the girl who commits suicide to join her husband in death, and George Tobias and Faye Emerson are also among the passengers on the phantom ship. yACANTERVILLE GHOST, THE— M-G-M: The charm and astounding versatility of little Margaret O’Brien sustain this fantasy of a group of American raiders who find lodgings in an English castle that is haunted by a cowardly ghost, Charles Laughton. Margaret is the last of the Cantervilles until it’s discovered that American Robert Young is actually a descendant of the ghost. Laughton is superb. CHRIST MAS HO LI DA Y — Universal : This is a strange story and a great departure for its star, Deanna Durbin, who marries Gene Kelly, a selfconfessed weakling, and ignores his philandering and weak excuses until he commits murder. Gene Kelly as the killer is terrific, even walking off with the story that was meant for Deanna. Dean Herens registers strongly and Gale Sondergaard as Gene’s mother is so good. y'COBRA WOMAN — Universal: Nonsense, but fun, with Maria Montez getting kidnapped on the eve of her wedding to John Hall, so Sabu, Hall’s devoted friend, traces her to Cobra Isle where Maria has been taken to replace her wicked twin sister who’s the cruel High Priestess. I/V DOUBLE INDEMNITY— Paramount: Grim and realistic, this psychological crime story takes hold of the onlooker and holds him fascinated and spellbound. Fred MacMurray is a likable insurance salesman up until the time he meets Barbara Stanwyck who wants to murder her husband and defraud the insurance company. You’ll applaud the intelligence and brilliant work of the writer, director and the cast. \S<SEVE OF ST. MARK, THE— 20th CenturyFox: This story of those lads drafted before Pearl Harbor, their life in camp and then the sudden plunge into war on an island in the Pacific is a poignant one, beautiful yet incomplete. Bill Eythe, the boy from the farm, Michael O’Shea, a Brooklyn toughie, and Vincent Price, the disillusioned Southerner, are outstanding. Anne Baxter is splendid as the girl Eythe loves. U^l/^p^GASLIGHT — M-G-M: A treat for those who appreciate intelligent, adult entertainment, with superb performances by Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer in this fine psychological thriller. The gradual disintegration of soul, mind and spirit of Bergman under the subtle and calculated scheming of Boyer is something to behold. Joseph Cotten is given too little to do and Angela Lansbury makes a gem of her role as a cockney maid. yAGHOST CATCHERS — Universal: It’s fun and laughter and nonsense when Olsen and Johnson are called in from their night club to a house next door which Martha O’Driscoll, Gloria Jean and Walter Catlett have rented after it has stood empty for ten years. Andy Devine, Lon Chaney and Leo Carrillo are the heavies; there’s plenty of singing and it’s all a lot of laughs. GILDERSLEEVE'S GHOST— R-K-O: Hal Peary, as Gildersleeve, is running for police commissioner and two ghosts who are supposed to be family relations decide to plunge him into a mystery in order that he may solve it and prove his marked ability. Besides this, there’s a crazy scientist in it and a gorilla running around. It’s all very silly, but it has some laughs. GOODNIGHT, SWEETHEART — Republic: A scandalmongering newspaper reporter, Robert Livingston, buys a small-town paper and rips apart all the honest people of the community, including Judge Thurston Hall. Livingston invents a blonde on whom to lay all the blame and then finds himself arrested on suspicion of murder of the fictitious blonde. Ruth Terry helps complicate matters still more. GREAT MOMENT , THE — Paramount: Written and directed by Preston Sturges, this purports to tell how Joel McCrea, as Dr. William Thomas Green Morton, invented a practicable anesthetic and what he eventually did with it. Betty Field, as his wife, and Harry Carey wander on the outer edges of the story and William Demarest is as violent as always in Sturges pictures. yA\/HAIL, THE CONQUERING HERO— Paramount: A warm and homey story about a boy who joins the Marines only to be discharged because of hay fever He’s ashamed to go home so he pretends to his mother that he's fighting overseas instead of working in a defense plant. Eddie Bracken fives this role a humanness and sincerity that makes im a true-to-life character. With Bill Demarest and Ella Raines. yAyA HAIRY APE, THE — Jules Levey-U.A.: BUI Bendix comes into his own as a dramatic actor in his role of a ship’s bullying coal stoker who meets a ruthlessness to match his ow,n in the beautiful and wealthy Susan Hayward who goes slumming in the ship’s hold. John Loder is the second engineer who also falls for Susan and Dorothy Comingore plays her friend. A picture that grips the imagination.
