Love TMe OT Leave Me m-c-m; cinemascope, EASTMAN color
kWV' One of the most unusual music dramas ever made gives Doris Day and James Cagney roles as startling as the picture. Doris, typed as a sunny-natured soul, showed real daring in choosing this strongly dramatic part. Suggested by the story of Ruth Etting, popular singer of the Twenties and early Thirties, the movie takes Doris from the hostess line in a cheap night spot to stardom in the Ziegfeld Follies and in Hollywood. It is Cagney, as a petty racketeer, who gives her career its start and becomes her manager. She accepts his sponsorship, but holds him at arm’s length. Pianist Cameron Mitchell, with personal interests in the matter, warns that her dishonesty will catch up witli her. And it does. The atmosphere of the Twenties is sharply recreated, thanks in part to Doris’ versatile song-selling. adult

Strange Lady in Town warners; cinemascope, warnercolor
kVV' Here’s an offbeat Western, with leisurely charm and an unconventional accent on feminine characters. Greer Garson’s a doctor battling 19th century prejudice against female M. D.’s. Giving up the fight in Boston, she comes to New Mexico to set up a practice. Her skill and her sympathetic manner quickly win the townspeople, but she can’t overcome the antagonism of Dana Andrews, up till now the town’s only doctor. A brusque widower, he obviously regards his redheaded rival with mixed emotions. Lois Smith (the bedraggled slavey in “East of Eden”) gives a winning performance as Dana’s hoydenish daughter. A secondary love story teams her with Cameron Mitchell, as Greer’s younger brother. But Mitchell, it’s revealed, is a scoundrel, and his misdeeds abruptly switch the story onto an actionful tack. family
With Dana's help , Greer opposes a mob of would-be lynchers

Strategic Air Command VISTAVISION, TECHNICOLOR
kW On the big VistaVision screen, the majesty of this country’s air defense practically steals the show from stars James Stewart and June Allyson. As a reserve officer, Jimmy is recalled to active duty just as he is getting firmly established in a baseball career. At first resentful, he is soon overcome by awe and pride, realizing the full might of the bomber forces that stand ready at any moment to strike long-range counterblows if the U. S. is attacked. June, as his wife, waits out each of his trial missions and longs for the day when they can again have a settled home life. Effective portrayals are contributed by Frank Lovejoy, as the commanding general, and Barry Sullivan, as one of Jimmy’s superiors. Throughout, the human element is dwarfed by the huge planes, cloud peaks and endless air vistas. family
For June and Jimmy, married life is a series of goodbyes
