With all this, he still has time for a couple of love affairs and clears his best friend of accessory charges. Mister Drake's Duck United Artists NEWLYWEDS Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Yolande Donlan are intrigued with the idea of farm life. They purchase a rather rundown place in Sussex and try, in their citified way, to coax some profit out of the venture. Things go along swimmingly until Yolande makes the mistake of nodding at an auction. The next they know is five dozen healthy, honking ducks are delivered to their front door. Soon after, one of the ducks — no one knows which — lays a uranium egg. This news reaches the War Department and the Army, Navy, Air Force and mayhem descend on the cozy love nest. Quacky comedy that takes a poke at present world affairs. Pardon My French United Artists MERLE OBERON inherits what she thinks is a fabulous chateau in France. It's fabulous okay, but not in the way Merle thinks. Along with Paul Henreid, a lazy but talented composer, the chateau is overrun by about fifty bombed-out people and an assortment of animals. Merle wants them please to go away. Paul wants them to stay. Paul, the cad, makes love to Merle in order to change her mind. With such persuasion, the gal hasn't a chance and she happily settles down to a Bohemian life in which Paul composes, the cows moo the peasants squabble and the children squall. Nature's Half Acre (Technicolor) RKO ANOTHER in the exciting series of Walt Disney's real-life adventure films. Filmed in Technicolor, with the fewest gimmicks possible, this deals with the strange almost unbelievable mysteries of the insect world. It's rather frightening to think that in a half acre of land there are millions of the insect family busily working away to complete their short life span. A camera closeup of some of the actors makes you thankful they're as small as they are and grateful that the bird population has such a robust appetite. The Secret Of Convict Lake 20th Century-Fox FIVE escaped convicts, including Glenn Ford and Zachary Scott, take refuge in an isolated mountain community. The menfolk of the settlement are all away on a gold strike, which leaves Gene Tierney, Ann Dvorak, Ethel Barrymore and a number of other women unprotected from the savagery of the hunted men. Ford also isn't in too comfortable a spot — Scott thinks he knows where $40,000 is hidden and is determined Ford won't live to spend it. But Ford wants to live, very desperately. He's got to prove he was falsely convicted, and then there's the matter of enticing Gene away from her not-too romantic fiance. A powerful picture that revolves around emotions in the raw. What Hollywood Itself Is Talking About Continued from page 13 a job in Hollywood and finally only landed in the fabulous "Guys And Dolls," wrote her own ticket for her part in the new Esther Williams picture, "Skirts Ahoy." Russell Nype, who glorified the crew haircut and heavy-frame glasses in "Call Me Madam," copped of} a juicy lead in MGM's "Family Man." MGM's third prize catch is the beautiful Doretta Morrow from "The King And I," who will be in the new Mario Lanza picture, "The Big Cast." They'll all trek right back to New York and their shows when the movie jobs are over. * * * Janet Leigh will soon legally be Mrs. Tony Curtis. Her man is having his name officially changed from Bernie Schwartz to his screen monicker. It isn't because he doesn't like his own name — all their chums call them Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz — but because it's less confusing when Tony signs checks and contracts and, excuse the phrase, income tax forms. The new bride has been showered with showers by her girl chums Patty Lewis (Jerry's wife), Marge Champion and Nancy Sinatra. Ozzie and Harriet Nelson of radio fame are making their first picture together at U-I called "Life With The Nelsons." Their two sons, David and Ricky, are in on the deal too. Seems the two boys were missing frequently when they were wanted for a take and everyone thought they were probably over on the "Meet Danny Thomas" set watching Frank Sinatra or maybe Shelley Winters. Probing into the matter a little further, the proud parents discovered their sons were on that set all right but not to watch anybody. They were drinking up the gingerale used in a nightclub scene as champagne! Coleen Gray was thrilled to pieces when her home state asked her to come to Minneapolis for the Minnesota Centennial and so she accepted and polished up two songs to sing for her neighbors and relatives. From there she went to New York for numerous TV shows, plus a fun flip. 72
