One Thrilling Night with John Beal, Wanda McKay, Warren Hymer (HOLLYWOOD PREVIEW)
| Monogram 69 Mins.
SWELL COMEDY REPLETE WITH
1 LAUGHS SHOULD CLICK WITH ALL
| TYPES OF AUDIENCES.
Here is a great little comedy. It will start you grinning 30 seconds after the credits fade and will have you rolling in the aisles almost all of the 69 minutes running time. It’s clever, fast and fautlessly played—as good as anything Monogram has ever turned out.
Writer, Joseph Hoffman and director William Beaudine could probably have had the smash hit of the season if major money had been available for the production of “One Thrilling Night.” Not that this number lacks anything. Producer, A. W. Hackel has plenty of class background behind his actors and the cast is perfect for the yarn.
John Beal, a very clever actor, does a polished job of the yokel on his honeymoon, but his leading lady, Wanda McKay, is the surprise here. She is a newcomer, but she exhibits such poise and is so lovely to look at, as well as being very talented, that if the right people see this she is on her way. Beauty and talent are rare in Hollywood.
The story tells of a young couple from upstate, who want to spend: their one-night honeymoon in a New York hotel. He is due to report to the Army in the morning and she is due back at work. They check into a swank hostelry in Times Square, leave a six-o’clock call and prepare for bed. Then they find the first body—in their room,
From that point on it is almost impossible to keep track of their adventures. Enough to say the adventures take them from one end of the city to the other, into movie houses on Bank Night, to police stations-—in and out of custody—and brings them in violent and hilarious contact with the cream of the big-city underworld.
Their ‘country-cousin’ tactics in handling Sangsters is a new and very funny slant on an old device. Their yokel acceptance of big-city terrors are good for a hundred laughs. This is like all the vary funny hick stories you have ever heard, superbly written and photographed.
In the end, of course, right prevails, but | don’t worry, it’s not a conventional. tag. You'll get a last minute belly-laugh to go home on.
“One Thrilling Night” is great stuff for all types of audiences—it’s a feather in the Monogram cap.
