Joining a band of pirates, Montalban comes to California, then a province of Mexico, is taken captive by rascally Gilbert Roland. Our renegade is ordered by Roland to kill off the fiance of the beautiful Cyd Charisse and marry her himself, a task not at all repellent to Montalban but without murder, please now. You see, Roland figures that with his vassal married to Cyd, her powerful father Antonio Moreno will come under his dominion. But before the villain’s plans can be accomplished there are duels, fiestas, broken heads and a surprise ending. Your Reviewer Says: “R” for romantic. Program Notes: Ricardo Montalban is right at home in his role of the handsome Mexican mainly because he is one. And, after a Technicolor glimpse of the actor in his colorful outfits, the fans may insist he play nothing else . . . Cyd Charisse , who is Mrs. Tony Martin in private life, spent most of her time between scenes telephoning home about their new son, Tony ]r. This was Cyd.’ s first role since the baby’s arrival . . . Silent star Antonio Moreno kept the cast spellbound ivith his reminiscences. “There aren’t any real lovers in the movies any more,” he insisted. “ Male stars just talk about it; they don’t do anything about it.” {Hi y a, Gable, hello Peck, good morning, Flynn.) kV (F) Happy Go Lovely (RKO) II ADE in England with David Niven, 1*1 Cesar Romero and Vera-Ellen to give it that Hollywood flavor, this Technicolor movie is a happy little thing almost overcome at times with too much of the old mistaken identity theme but always rescued from complete involvement by the clever dancing of Vera-Ellen, the slapdash of Cesar Romero as an American theatrical producer of the shoe-string variety and David Niven as a Scottish greeting-card tycoon. Your Reviewer Says: It tries so hard to please. Program Notes: Vera-Ellen is newest candidate for Queen of Technicolor. With the exception of “Love Happy,” her pictures have all been tinted. M-G-M signed her to a contract after “ff ords and Music” but let her go to London for the independent “ Happy Go Lovely” since her next for them, “Belle of New York,” wasn’t ready for completion. Vera jumped at the opportunity to have a European vacation — and get paid for it to boot . . . This picture was a homecoming for British-born David Niven, who showed Cesar Romero — making his first London movie — all around Piccadilly. (A) Kind Lady (M-G-M) SHOCKING tale, so plausible and likely 1 to happen, the customer is torn between outrage, anxiety and admiration for the j ingenuity of storyteller and story actors. 1 Occasionally there are moments when one wishes everyone concerned would get on with the story, but on the whole it’s unusual and clever. Maurice Evans is the charming but evil ringleader in a plot to take over the home of Ethel Barrymore, a “kind lady,” living alone with one maid, Doris Lloyd. Evans uses his wife, Betsy Blair, as foil to obtain entrance and, once in, brings in Keenan Wynn and Angela Lansbury, a pair of schemers, who pose as cook and butler. They almost succeed in convincing everyone of Miss Bar 28
