CRASH DIVE — 20th Century-Fox
Tyrone Power's farewell film for the duration will leave his fans happy. It's a personal triumph for the screen's most romantic young actor, and a spirited, exciting show. If it paints the war picture in rather bright colors, it will certainly call forth no complaints from the Power following, accustomed to their hero's hairbreadth escapes and sure to be disappointed if he ever failed in his super-human assignments. As the dashing young naval officer who is ordered from his beloved "P-T" boat to submarine duty, where of course he covers himself anew with glory, Tyrone performs with grace and gallantry. Anne Baxter is the delectable heroine. Dana Andrews also scores.
SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT — Columbia
A gay, tuneful musical film in which an untalented ex-chorine (Cobina Wright, Jr.) backs a show with her alimony money so she can star in it. Press agent Don Ameche discovers a pretty composer (Janet Blair) who sings as well as writes music and, when the show flops at its tryout, William Gaxton, as producer, has his star falsely arrested so he can open with Miss Blair as the star. Cobina withdraws her support and show closes, but Ameche and Jack Oakie put on a vaudeville hit revue in which they present Janet in songs and dances ; a dog act called "The Bricklayers" ; ballet and rhumba dance numbers ; and Hazel Scott at the piano, all of which add up to good entertainment. Janet is fine ; Don at his best.
DESERT VICTORY — 20th Century-Fox
Most stirring factual film of World War II thus far, this actual record of the routing of Rommel's Afrika Korps by the British Eighth Army has hundreds of heroes — the men who manned the guns, the tanks, the planes which helped General Bernard Montgomery to victory. The General himself is one of the most striking figures ever caught by a movie camera, his every appearance the signal for applause. "Desert Victory" is the thrilling story of the 1300mile advance from El Alamein to Tripoli, made in the Western Desert by the Eighth Army's Film and Photographic Unit under combat conditions, and dramatically assembled by Colonel David MacDonald.
