...outdone, the French have devised a new strategy aimed at hypnotizing the enemy from the front while the right wing encircles the main body and gradually crushes it in a firm embrace. Trained at the Ecole Militaire de Hollywood, Mr. Charles Boyer has been intrusted with the command. The first move will be a nation-wide series of lectures to American women's clubs. Boyer is just the man for the job. Daladier can bully the Chambre and make it take notice. Bonnet knows his finance. Weygand can play a campaign over his morning coffee. But only Boyer...
...historic military mancuvers, none have been so daring as this, Hannibal swept through the Alps, Schlieffen goose-stepped his Prussians around Belgium, but only Boyer is seeking his objective through the Heart. Unlike Russia's overtures to Finland, the movie-star has already won the confidence of his feminine audience.

Cast as Charles Boyer's grandmother in one scene in Love Affair this year, Actress Ouspenskaya stole the picture. As the barefooted but regal Maharani of The Rains Came, she does it again...
...Fine Arts--attains dramatic excellence through masterful use of simple, intrinsically unprepossessing material. In the hands of Warner Brother and Kay Francis--perish the thought!--it would probably have been trite and dull, for the plot concerns merely the tragic love of a marries man (Mr. Boyer) and a tempestuous, delicate, passionate femme du monde (Michele Morgan). But the vehicle is unimportant; around the character of Francoise--portrayed by Miss Morgan with an almost psychological profundity amazing for her seventeen years--the interest is centered. Not beautiful except in certain poses, she is nevertheless very appealing, and although her character...
