SHINE ON, HARVEST MOON — Warner Bros.
It's probably true vaudeville is dead, but we all like to think aboutjhe good old "Big Time." So the WB's reminisce in this film about two of vaudeville's hcadliners, Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, played by Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan. The story is suspiciously like others you've seen about show business — their act is broken up when one is blackballed and the other finds he can't go on without her — but nevertheless it still draws the sympathy it always has. It's the beloved old songs. You'll still enjoy hearing them. Jack Carson and Marie Wilson sing a new comedy tune, "So Dumb But So Beautiful," that's a lulu for our money.
KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY— United Artists Release
Corrupt politics in 1650 New Amsterdam (now known as New York) comes in for a lot of good clean ribbing in this film version of Maxwell Anderson Kurt Weill Broadway musical hit. It's all in fun — and what fun! NeLon Eddy lends his splendid voice to the hero's role, the honest printer who is "taken in" by the sly scheming of the new Dutch Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, (Charles Coburn). Both are "taken in" by the charm of the heroine, daughter of the chief councilman who makes his dough on the side selling whiskey and firearms to the Indians. Constance Dowling is lovely in the feminine lead, and her dulcet tones are pleasing. Musical score is tops.
LADIES COURAGEOUS — Universal
The first film about the Women's Auxiliary Ferry Squadron proves the ladies courageous, but it also reaches out a little too far in another direction and shows too many feminine frailties. As a result, the story, covering too much territory, has a disjointed effect. Only Loretta Young, as the squadron leader struggling for Army recognition of their service, seems to be free from foibles. Geraldine Fitzgerald plays her sister, ex-playgirl who grandstands herself out of the service. Diana Barrymore is a standout as a trouble-maker who falls in love with another WAFS's husband (Kane Richmond). Phillip Terry registers nicely in brief romantic scenes. June Vincent and Anne Gwynne are fine.
