Many of the incidents and much of the hilarious dialogue will strike a familiar chord. Mr. Blandings (Cary Grant at his best) gets sick and tired of a crowded city apartment where his wife (Myrna Loy as the perfect frau again) hogs the closets and his two children jam the bathroom. A newspaper ad lures him to a slick real estate operator who sells him a supposedly historic old house, despite many warnings. When he starts remodeling, he finds it's bursting at the seams, has to be razed and replaced by a new one. Before it's finished the Blandings are quarreling, Mrs. B. gets somewhat compromised with their family friend and lawyer (delightfully played by Melvyn Douglas) , Mr. B. is practically bankrupt and almost loses his job as well as his mind. But it's all very, very funny. Romance on the High Seas Warner Bros. This is a perfect example of how a flimsy story can become a really good film due to excellent performances and skilled direction by Michael Curtiz. It's about a young married couple (Janis Paige and Don DeFore) who suspects each other of infidelity and set about to spy on the other only to find out they're all wrong. The detective (Jack Carson) , whom the husband hires, meets the girl (Doris Day) , whom the wife hires to impersonate her, and there ensues a really amusing case of mistaken identities and true romance, involving Oscar Levant, too. Everybody concerned is far better than average, but none more than newcomer Doris Day, a nightclub singer who made the Hit Parade. Not only has she a female Frank Sinatra voice, but she's beautiful and a totally different type of comedienne. She can also wear ultra clothes, as does Janis Paige — all designed by Milo Anderson. So This Is New York V. A. — Enterprise Henry Morgan of the radio is the star of this picture, which it's hard to believe is his first. He's not funny in the popular sense of the word, but his masterful timing and tongue-in-cheek narration turn what could have been a mediocre story into a hilarious satire. It's all about what happens to a couple of small towners in New York City after World War I. When Henry's wife (Virginia Grey) and her sister Kate (Dona Drake) inherit some money, they bully him into leaving South Bend for New York in quest of a suitable husband for Kate. The situations are funny, but not half as funny as Morgan's glib comments make them. The Strawberry Roan Columbia Gene Autry fans and horse lovers will delight in Gene's first Technicolor picture. The lad looks well in color, and the film has some must-be-seen-to-believe shots of a magnificent wild roan stallion (Champion) galloping on the colorful plains of Texas. The story revolves around Champ, who unwittingly injures Eddie Albert and Cale Storm play Indians for a scene in Allied Artists' "The Dude Goes West." Gene Autry 's first Technicolor film for Columbia: "The Strawberry Roan," with Gloria Henry. Henry Morgan's glib chatter puts Enterprise's "So This Is New York" in hilarious satire class. the son of Gene's boss but makes up for it after Gene has nursed and trained him. There's a cute love story between Champ and Sweetheart, the mare belonging to Gene's leading lady, Gloria Henry. Their colt will undoubtedly elicit feminine oh's and ah's. The Dude Goes West Allied Artists A competent cast is wasted on the old story about the Easterner, this time a gunsmith (Eddie Albert) , who goes West to make good, and does. En route he meets a girl (Gale Storm) who's carrying the coveted map of her late father's gold mine. They meet up with some pretty tough hombres. including the town's strong woman ( Binnie Barnes) , but our hero outsmarts and outshoots 'em all, with some help from his pal, James Glea 14 SCREENLAND
