Orson Welles and Felix Aylmer are watchful bystanders at Tyrone Power's first meeting with Wanda Hendrix in "Prince Of Foxes," saga of the treacherous Borgias. Paul Douglas, Jane Hamilton, Linda Darnell in the comedy, "Everybody Does It." Alan Ladd meets June Havoc in "Chicago Deadline" and she falls in love pronto. Prince Of Foxes 20th Century-Fox THE team of Lucretia and Ccsare Borgia have almost become as wellknown to movie audiences as Smith and Dale were to vaudeville addicts. The difference being that one team dispensed with laughs while . the other dispensed with death and intrigue. The picture deals with the latter. Lavi.shly set in the Italian Renaissance period when Cesare 12 Borgia (Orson Welles) was striving to conquer all of Italy, this shows the extents to which Borgia will go to accomplish his ends. Through one of his aides, Tyrone Power, he hopes to capture a peaceful, yet almost impregnable key stronghold ruled by a seventy-year-old duke and his beautiful young wife, Wanda Hendrix. The strategy Cesare employs is not statesmanship but seduction, not warfare but cut-throat murder. An opportunist, who was a peasant until assuming a phoney title. Power changes his plans after .serving as Borgia's ambassador in the aged duke's court. In realizing the evil in Borgia, Ty decides to go all out in helping the duke and his subjects stave off Borgia's subsequent attack on the small city. Beautifully photographed in Italy, nothing is spared in making this an authentic period production based on the Samuel Shellabarger novel. For excitement and thrills galore, it's one of the year's best! Chicago Deadline Paramount HAS everything to recommend it to mystery fans. A taut drama dealing with the personality study of a dead woman, the action begins when reporter Alan Ladd is at hand when the body of a girl is found in a shoddy Chicago hotel room. Obviously dead of natural causes, Ladd nevertheless becomes interested in what caused her to die alone and friendless. With the help of her address book, which he secretly takes from the room, Ladd starts his search into the past. Through flashback, the girl. Donna Reed, is brought back to life along with the incidents which ultimately lead to the present. The address book, three quarters of which lists masculine names, also becomes the answer to the murder of Donna's true love. Ladd was never better in his characterization of a reporter in love with a human interest story, and the supporting cast, including June Havoc, matches his pace. Filmed in Chicago, you also get a nice amount of local color. The Doctor And The Girl MGM TO ERR is human, to forgive divine is a lesson which Doctor Charles Coburn learns the hard way. An eminent surgeon, Coburn not only wields the scalpel at the operating table but also cuts family ties when two of his children, Glenn Ford and Gloria Dellaven, decide to lead their own lives for a change. For Glenn, the switch from Park Avenue Sweethearts of "That Midnight Kiss" are Kathryn Grayson and Mario Lanza.
