Stronger Grip Won't Slip Out ASK FOR Every lime The Cagneys, Jeanne and James, in the thought-provoking "The Time of Your Life," vignettes of life-in-the-raw on the San Francisco waterfront. volves her in an unwitted murder, romance, remorse, fright and surrender, with an unexpected ending. She's beautifully gowned throughout, and does expertly with each phrase of the script. Her producer is convincingly played by Leon Ames. Her lover is handsome, exciting English actor Leo Genn. Claire Trevor is excellent as her rival for the producer's affections. Sydney Greenstreet, as a police captain, adds color and interest. Despite discrepancies in the story, the picture has intense moments, is effective and Rosalind's fans will love it. The Time of Your Life V.A. — Cagney WILLIAM SAROYAN'S prize-winning play is brought intact to the screen. As a result, you may quibble about the cast and lack of plot in this series of San Francisco waterfront saloon vignettes. James Cagney plays an observer of life-in-the-raw named Joe. His sister, Jeanne Cagney, is not quite convincing as the B-girl who wants to go straight. Wayne Morris, as Joe's stooge, is more weak than necessary. James Barton, as a Western adventurer, hams it up too much. But Paul Draper, one of America's foremost dancers, enlivens the part of the boy who's "a natural born dancer." Bill Bendix, as Nick the pub owner, is quietly terrific. Broderick Crawford, Ward Bond, James Lydon and others are also good. The whole is not always easy to understand.
