Wanda Hendrix, Monty Woolley and Barry Fitzgerald with John Lund in "Miss Tarlock's Millions," Paramount film. In quest of a fortune in the picture, John is forced most of time to pose as Wanda Hendrix's nincompoop brother. Ilka Chase as Cassie Van Alen and John as the masquerading half-wit. It's Ilka who finds John to be an imposter. Another of John Lund's current successes is "Night Has A Thousand Eyes" in which he appears with Gail Russell. Screenland salutes John Lund IINALLY coming into his own is John Lund, handsome and talented Paramount player, who, now, after his outstanding performance in "Miss Tatlock's Millions," more than merits full-fledged stardom. It's his fifth screen role since he made a brilliant debut opposite Olivia de Havilland in "To Each His Own." But in "Miss Tatlock's Millions" John has by far the most complex role of any he's yet played for he enacts a movie stunt man who's hired to double for a missing, half-witted heir to millions. John is continually alternating between light comedy, heavy daffiness and romantic love-making, for it develops that Wanda Hendrix as Nancy Tatlock is supposedly his sister. John first showed how well he can play comedy in "A Foreign Affair," With Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich. Off-screen you won't find a more modest, unassuming and yet personable man than John. He's studied hard, been patient and at last success is his. John Lund with Director Billy Wilder during the filming of "A Foreign Affair."
