V'V' Shelley Winters has a show-piece of a role in this lurid expose of a big city’s night life. She’s really giving two separate performances, since her character, like the movie itself, suddenly takes a different direction midway. At first, she’s a wisecracking night-club singer, sharing her apartment with an innocent youngster newly arrived in New York. Colleen Miller, fresh-faced and dark-haired, makes a good impression in this, her first leading role. Advised by Shelley and aided by their neighbor Gregg Palmer, she gets off to a fast start as a model. Meantime, Shelley’s involved in a long-time affair with a married man. Barry Sullivan. Level-headed and sharp-witted to start with, she goes emotional as the film shifts gears to wind up in melodrama, gunplay and hints of vice. adult

PV Against the fascinating background of the present-day whaling industry, Alan Ladd tackles an unusual sort of mystery. He’s a drifter who signs on as first mate of a whaler bound for the Antarctic. Also aboard are Joan Tetzel. daughter of a former owner of the company, and Basil Sydney, her late father’s partner. Both suspect that her father’s death on the preceding trip was no accident. Alan’s sleuthing is climaxed in a battle on the ice floes, and there’s also a triangle involving him with Joan and Stanley Baker. Sydney’s arrogant son. But the chief interest of the picture lies in the authentic shots obtained by a camera crew in the Antarctic: the processing of whale carcasses on the big, ungainly factory ship; harpooners at work on small, fast boats. family

PV’ It’s up to Doris Day to carry this musical to success, and she responds nobly, singing its not too notable songs and going through the paces of its plot with irresistible gusto. When a stage revue folds in Florida, she and her fellow troupers are left penniless. Thanks to the inefficient conniving of the head man. Phil Silvers, the stars of the show find themselves slaving away in a hotel kitchen. However, song-writer Robert Cummings happens to be a guest at the hotel, planning a big Broadway musical. The stranded show people see their chance — all except Doris, who has fallen in love with Bob with no ulterior motives, not realizing who he is. Comics Silvers, Nancy Walker and Eddie Foy, Jr., get opportunity only in a couple of bright song-and-dance routines. family
Freed from kitchen drudgery, Doris goes stepping with Bob
