The Great Man's Lady— Paramount .
In this sentimental saga of the Early West, Barbara Stanwyck ages from 16 to 100 as Hcmna Sempler, who sacrificed her own happiness to help Ethan Hoyt, the man she loved, attain greatness. While Hoyt City honors its founder, she relates her life story to a biographer. The flashback method of telling it slows up the action. Barbara's is a great performance; Joel McCrea, splendid as Hoyt; and Brian Donlevv, good as the other man. See it
The Turtles of Tahiti— RKO
This South Seas comedy-romance is a refreshing bit of screen entertainment. Its light-hearted and gay and never gets too deep or serious, making it the ideal movie for these troubled times. Its star, Charles Laughton, is good as the improvident head of a large, happy-go-lucky Tahitian family whose philosophy of life is live and make merry today and let tomorrow take care of itself. Jon Hall and Peggy Drake do nicely in the romance department.
Always In My Heart— Warners
Here's a sentimental film for femme fans. Gloria Warren, teen-age girl with a beautiful voice, is introduced in this drama. When Walter Huston, as the convict-father whose children think he is dead hears his ex-wife, Kay Francis, is about to remarry, he doesn't tell her about his pardon. His family learns the truth and there's a happy reunion. Fine acting by entire cast. Borrah Mmevitch and his Rascals furnish music and good comedy.
A Gentleman After Dark — United Artists
This is the story of Heliotrope Harry, a crook who goes straight when his baby is born, but whose wife (Miriam Hopkins) continues her life of crime. Harry murders her lover and goes to prison, but escapes to stop his wife from blackmailing the Judge (Preston Foster) who has raised their daughter. Harry is splendidly portrayed by Donlevy. Performances by Miss Hopkins and Foster are noteworthy. Exciting. Has suspense.
Mokey — M-G-M
This film is a touching story about a motherless boy, Mokey, who has a penchant for getting into trouble. The boy's father, remarries and his young stepmother, played by Donna Reed, fails to give him the affection he craves. His mis
eds are due to misunderstandings, and neglect on the part of his father, Dan Dailey, Jr. Bobby Blake, a lad whose only other film work has been in Our Gangcomedies, proves he's a fine little actor. This is a good study in child psychology.
