Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

It's an excellent film designed for the mature mind. Branded (Technicolor) Paramount ALAN LADD, a wandering no account hombre, lets Robert Keith talk him into posing as wealthy ranch tycoon Charles Bickford's long lost son. If the deception is carried off, the deal could mean over a million in cold, crisp cash. For a while, Ladd does some mighty fancy pretending, but when he really gets to know the family — ''sister" Mona Freeman, in particular, he finds he can't continue the lies and deceit. To repay them for all the grief and heartache he has caused, Ladd is determined to find their real son. He does, but not without considerable effort that almost spells disaster to the entire family. This is proof positive that a Western needn't be the stereotyped fare so often foisted upon movie audiences, and Ladd does himself proud in a role tailor-made for him. Emergency Wedding Columbia HOW many guys would trade places with Larry Parks when, following his marriage to Doctor Barbara Hale, Larry sits at home while Barbara goes out to work? Sounds great!? Well, don't get excited fellers because Larry practically goes off his rocker trying to figure out what does go on between Barbara and her male patients. The trouble with Larry is he's got millions — that trouble!? — and has nothing to do all day except kaffee klatch with old man jealousy. The way he spies on Barbara makes Mata Hari look like a simpering tattle-tale until Barbara high-tails it to Reno. The effect this produces on Larry is remarkable and his aimless life begins to have a purpose. Light comedy and silly hoopla. American Guerrilla In The Philippines (Technicolor) 20th Century-Fox TYRONE POWER and the remnant crew of his torpedo boat remain in the Philippines to harass the Japanese who have captured Leyte. To keep their radio sending station operating, Ty and his men work their wits and courage to the bone trying to fend off the enemy. Outnumbered by terrific odds, it's inevitable that the Japs liquidate the small band of men, but during Ty's final stand, the U.S. Armed Forces, en masse, arrive in the nick of time. Alicheline Prelle adds to the South Pacific scenery, and to Ty's reasons for carrying on his one-man war. The West Point Story Warner Brothers PICTURE, if you can, James Cagney as a West Point plebe. It's hard to imagine, and even harder for stage direc tor Cagney to do, but it's the only way he can pick up $10,000 from Cadet Gordon MacRae's uncle. The plan is this, if Cagney can get MacRae to give up Army life and become a singer, the money is Jimmy's. So, he produces and directs the annual West Point musical show, stars MacRae, and spends a good deal of time trying to win the cadet over. When this fails, Cagney enlists the assistance of Doris Day, a famous movie star. The only difficulty there is, Doris falls in love with MacRae and gives up her career. Yirginia Mayo, who gets better and better with each role, is on hand too, as Cagney 's dancing partner. It's an extra special musical that's loaded with West Point lore and super acting. Undercover Girl Universal-International ROOKIE policewoman Alexis Smith is chosen by Detective Lieutenant Scott Brady as the girl most likely to succeed in breaking a powerful narcotics ring. To gain entry into the mob, Alexis poses as a narcotics buyer, and finds that Doctor Edmon Ryan not only wants to sell her the dope, but is willing that she take him, also — romantically, that is. Through an ex-beau, who should have known better, word gets around that Alexis isn't the babe she pretends, and the assignment nearly gets her a posthumous medal The Goldbergs Paramount WITH the original cast from radio and television, The Goldbergs now add movies to their other triumphs. As usual, Molly, Gertrude Berg, turns a simple situation into a minor catastrophe, then pours oil over the troubled water and calm returns once again. This time, an old flame of Molly's, Eduard Franz, pays a call, and Mr. Goldberg, Philip Loeb, goes financially deeper into the red trying to impress Franz. With her mind on two romances instead of the family budget, Molly almost ruins Jake for good. Folksy humor at its best, this will make The Bronx the eighth wonder of the world. Katie Did It Universal-International COMMERCIAL artist Mark Stevens, who draws chesty, leggy females, is the cause of Ann Blyth's fine New England family name suffering near defamation. Because of Mark, Ann's tippling uncle, Cecil Kellaway, bets S500 on a nag who couldn't win a race if he were running alone. So, to pay off the persistent bookie, Ann poses for Mark and gets her body plastered all over the nation's billboards. Some good is accomplished, though, because Ann's aloof, aristocratic bearing slips as devastatingly as a faulty one-piece bathing suit. The misunderstanding between Ann and Mark clears up in time for the traditional happy ending. ™t LONGER HAIR? MAKE THIS EASY 7-DAY TEST!
