Government agent Randolph Scott has to play rough in "The Man Behind The Gun," story of early Western settlers. Also shown are Anthony Caruso, Clancy Cooper, Dick Wesson. the film is completed. Also subject to the Shields "technique" are Dick Powell, a popular novelist, and Walter Pidgeon, the producer who gives Shields his start. When he starts hitting the skids it is to these four people that he must turn for aid, and as Sullivan bitterly reminisces, "Working for Shields isn't an assignment — it's an experience." Although film does not offer totally realistic view of crosssection Hollywood, stars' acting will preen over any story faults. AGAINST ALL FLAGS Pirate Adventure — UniversalInternational WHEN spitfire Maureen O'Hara meets swashbuckling Errol Flynn you know you're in for a dash of romance, daring exploits and a double portion of adventure. Technicolor epic has young ship's officer (Flynn) sent to spike the big guns on Diego Suarex so that a British warship can invade the pirate stronghold, which lies between two rich Indian Ocean lanes. Although masquerading as a soldier-of-fortune Flynn is suspected of being a spy until the intervention of Spitfire Stevens (Maureen O'Hara) , a captain high in the pirate's council. It is Spitfire's late father who designed the pirate's guns and it is she who has the map explaining their assemblage. Flynn, who pays frequent visits to her apartment to memorize details of the map, begins to find it an enjoyable task. Some sizzling romantic scenes, plus some high tension action wind-up details in this Howard Christie production, directed by George Sherman. Ruthless Kirk Douglas takes advantage of lovely Lana Turner, Barry Sullivan, Dick Powell and Walter Pidgeon to further his Hollywood career in "The Bad And The Beautiful." 17
