Sup- imrting the fun is a tasty produce tioii dressing and smart casting. It’s the secohid strong comedy in a row for $pehcer Tracy; doing the title role, arid he soOks it. There’'s also the timely castihg of Elizabeth Taylor as the bride (a title she just assumed iri real life) to help stir wicket interest, arid Joan Bennett compietes the star trio with an ele- gant performance as the.mothejr. Plot; of Edward. Streeter’s rioyel, given ari. ace scripting job by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, has meat 'fori a wide age range.

Measure Of success obtained, along this line is emphasized by the fact that an audience will quite easily forget that crime doesn’t pay and pull for the crooks in their execution of the million dollar jewelry theft arourid which the plot is built , W. B. Burnett’s lusty novel about criminal types,. from the cheap hood to the iriastermind, provided the' punchy baris fbr the script by Ben Maddow and John Huston. The writing and Huston’s direction combine to give the tickbt buyer an intimate acquaint- ance With the characters, There are many flashes of iroriy and riot a little syrribblisni as the plot brings together the assorted types to plan and carry out the robbery. The actual heist is a . suspehseful pibce of fiiinirig; as9iis the follow- ing police chase and gradual dis- iritegratibri; of the gang as the members arfe pluriged into ritu- atipns that are beyond their wits nr ■ ." ' ■ One sock bit of irony is the downfall of Sam Jaffa, the crimi- rial genius who plotted the roh- bery. Playing a weazened, evil bid man with a lecherous eye for very young; shapely femmes, his F«te of a , “Fate of a Child,” doc«. mentary short produced arid directed by Leo^ Seltzer for the United NaHbns, is a barely adequate treatment of the apparently trqgic situation of the underdeveloped, areas of Latin America. The picture mtkes a weak attempt to dramatize the problem lnvper.<iorial teriris of an impoverished, undernour- ished, illiterate couple and- their doomed baby in a South Airiericari village, but fails to evoke emotion. The narra- tibn, unaffectiyely read by Winston O’Keefe, presents a few provocative statistics, but the camera ribyer gets around to illustrating them. The film is negligible as entertainment ani partly for that reason, ineffectual as propaganda. and Wanda Hendrix, the WAVE, will wind iip in a clinch before the fbotage is over, butHogeU’s direc- tipri arid the origirial script by Sidney Salkow and John O’lJea keep the deyelopment spritely and interesting as the plot lybrks up tb the flnaic. Broad hilarity is, the keynote, and among the toppers is the. complicatibn that puts O’Brleri into the ring with a professional opponent in an effort to raise $100.

Douglas^ meantime, reaches a truce with the rival garig chief (Cesar Rqt mero) after presumably rubbing her of honest, understanding scenes/ ® between father and daughter. Don Taylor impresses as the groom, as do Billie Burke and Mo^ roni Olsen as his parents. Leo G. Carroll clocks a lot of chuckles as the caterer, and also pitchirig are Melville Cooper, Taylor Holmes, Paul Harvey and Frank Orth. Seen ts the brothers of the bride are Rusty Tamblyn and Tom Irish,, while Marietta Canty plays the family maid. Oh the critical side, biit niore or less minor quibbles: Minnelli could have timed many of the scenes so that laughs would not have stepped on dialog tag lines. Also he pejp* mits the wedding rehearsal se- quence to play too long, lessening the comedic effect.

Herm. the script/but it has the advantage Of his thespian skill/ There’s one false note , to the mood hit by Hustori’s difection. It is the overlang odyssey to the blue-, grass .land that Hayden: makes after, being fatally wounded. This finale sequence needs decisive scissoring and trim would help shorterii the present 112 minutes. Some fancy histrionics are con- tributed by James Whitmore, Mtirc Lawrerice (particularly sock) and Anthony Caruso as the other mem- bers of the. robbery crew.
