Twin Beds — United Artists To tie up this bedroom farce with current events, Joan Bennett is seen as the wife who neglects hubby George Brent in favor of the USO. Both are good, but Mischa Auer steals top honors as a romantic Russian who finds himself in Brent's bed. Most of the film is devoted to Joan's attempts to get Auer, who, clad in his underwear, hides here and hides there, out of her bedroom. Repetitious, but screamingly funny. Has a good supporting cast. Fingers at the Window — M-G-M _ Although this mystery thriller is about strange axe murders, it is not a horror film. Lew Ayres as Duffy, unemployed actor, saves Edzvina (Laraine Day) from a killer. Despite police opposition, his detective work brings to light the master-mind behind the killings— a bogus psychiatrist who hypnotizes lunatics to make them kill. Lew's is a good role, but Laraine has little to do. Basil Rathbone, fine as the phony medico. Suspense is good. Joe Smith, American — M-G-M The purpose of this film is to impress us with the importance of guarding military secrets. It is a lesson in patriotism, and not lacking in entertainment qualities, either. Joe, a defense worker, is kidnapped and horribly beaten when he refuses to divulge bombsight plans. He escapes and tracks down the spies. Joe manages to stand the blows by remembering happier days. Robert Young's interpretation of Joe Smith is convincing.
