'TQveuw Janet Dean, Registered Nurse This new film series, made in New York and starring one of Hollywood’s medium-sized names for viewer bait, has been made with the commendable purpose of (1) selling the nursing profession, and (2) pointing out that many illnesses actually spring from the mind and are psychosomatic—or traceable to the mind. The result, unfortunately, is a little heavy-handed. What this show needs, rather desperately, is at least one good laugh per episode. Ella Raines, as Janet Dean, Regis¬ tered Nurse, apparently spends a good deal of her time on private cases. Not content with the usual temperature, pulse and back-rub routine, she in¬ vestigates the psychological factors which lie hidden behind most of her cases and promptly goes to work lay¬ ing out a campaign of applied pys- chology—with or without the doctor’s approval or help. In one story she makes a doting mother see the light in time to save her little boy from becoming a young hypochondriac. In another, a doting mother is unmasked as a selfish old woman who doesn’t want her big boy to get married. In a third, catering in a moment of weakness to the TV taste Ella Raines: as Janet Dean, she finds herself busy with Freudian matters. of the times, she messes up a diaboli¬ cal plot to murder a little girl so that a little boy (and his diabolical mother) can inherit all the money. Miss Raines, who has wrestled with the movies over quite a long period, is both attractive and competent. She is particularly appealing in the earlier scenes of each episode while she is still busy being a nurse and has not yet gotten around to the more Freud¬ ian aspects of the case. In her dra¬ matic scenes, however, she tends to be a little wooden. Some healthy venom, especially when you’re on the right side of justice, is what it takes to make the crowd roar. The production of the series is well done in the hands of a highly profes¬ sional staff. 22 id
