After taking the count of nine in “Young Man with a Horn,” Lauren bounces back with a fine performance. Bogie’s Baby is indeed in top form as the torching Polish ex-mill worker who operates “a rooming house for ladies.” But Gary, the knucklehead, is in love with rich and elegant Patricia Neal whose papa (Donald Crisp) considers former tenant-farmer Gary “po’ white trash.” Gary makes a mint of money with a little gadget called a cigarette machine, ruins Papa, and marries Patricia. And what that Southern belle does to him is one for the books! Jeff Corey, Jack Carson, Elizabeth Patterson and Gladys George have good parts in this drama based on the novel, “The Bright Leaf,” by Foster Fitz-Simons. Your Reviewer Says: Drama in the tobacco country. v'V' (F) The Gun Fighter (20tli Century-Fox) HERE’S a Western that’s decidedly different. It tells in suspenseful detail of the ill-fated effort of a famous gun fighter to break with his bloodstained past. The action takes place in a little town in the Old West of the 1880’s. Gregory Peck, in a mustache that doesn’t do a thing for him, plays the six-shooter Jimmie Ringo (patterned after real life John Ringo). Millard Mitchell, former New York actor who loves Hollywood, plays the sheriff who has a soft spot in his heart for Ringo. The distaff side is well looked after by Helen Westcott and Jean Parker, absent from the screen for five years. Remember Jean as the fragile young girl in “Sequoia” and as Beth in the first talking production of “Little Women”? Now she goes in for tough dame parts. Likes them better, she says. Your Reviewer Says: More suspense than shooting. y' (F) The Lawless (Paramount) ALL BIGCITY reporters, so the legend goes, want to buy a small-town newspaper. In this picture Macdonald Carey does just that. The results are not exactly what he had in mind. Carey attends a fruit pickers’ dance on the wrong side of the Santa Marta, California, tracks. There he meets Gail Russell who, with her father, publishes a Mexican weekly. John Sands and John Davis, a couple of wealthy kids, crash the party, tangle with the Mexican boys Lalo Rios and Maurice Jara. There’s a freefor-all resulting in the death of a policeman. A lynch-minded mob runs down the frightened Lalo. Carey goes to his defense both with fists and editorials. Your Reviewer Says: A crusade against mob rule. kV (A) The Sleeping City (U-I) HERE’S a semi-documentary drama based on the narcotics racket in New York. Reminiscent of Mark Hellinger’s “The Naked City” it is realistic and without glamour. It was filmed in its entirety in New York. Gotham’s Confidential Squad is puzzled by the murder of Hugh Reilly, a young interne at New York’s famous Bellevue Hospital. After a thorough briefing Richard Conte, one of their brightest young detectives, is passed off as an interne and assigned to the traumatics ward. There he meets the ward nurse, pretty, seductive Coleen Gray. And he also meets the hospital janitor, a friendly old guy who plays the horses and loans money to the always broke internes. Although Conte is soft on nurse Coleen he soon discovers that she STOPHWmW wWi «||«&& jetWifw INTIMATE FEMININE HYGIENE This Amazing Greaseless Suppository Assures Hours of Continuous Protection!
