...Sale (RKO Radio) is a tired old triangle farce in which three veterans crank out the creaking whimsy. As a high-powered tax consultant, Claudette Colbert spends her days poring through income-tax forms looking for a home-loving rich husband. To keep her in his employ, George Brent sneaks into her files some data on wealthy Robert Young, who is in on the conspiracy to discourage her. The drawing room dither that follows shows everyone falling for Claudette, but nobody very happy about it. Claudette, who appears to be slumming in her farce role, allows herself to be photographed...
Furrowed Brow. In St. Louis, one week after a tavern brawl, Weslie Brent developed a headache, saw a doctor who found a .32 slug lodged between his scalp and skull...
...opera, is not appreciably different from dozens of other westerns currently galloping around the neighborhood circuits. In a rambling, inconsequential fashion, it tells the story of a reformed, horse-loving outlaw (Howard Duff) who meets up with the pretty daughter (Ann Blyth) of a rich, horse-racing rancher (George Brent). Howard is out to capture a wild horse. Ann, despite some flimsy pretenses to the contrary, is bent on catching a tame husband. After a good deal of shooting, roping and racing, and without offending either the S.P.C.A. or the Johnston Office, both of them get what they are after...
...Juan is to save pretty Queen Margaret (Viveca Lindfors) and her slightly addled king (Romney Brent) from the plots of an evil Duke de Lorca. Errol manages it with the help of nothing more than fire, sword, galloping horses, conspiring friends, and a few scattered incidents when he is called upon to prove that his strength is as the strength of ten because his heart is afire with love for the queen. No question of credibility is really involved in all this, since the story at no time resembles any situation ever likely to have been faced by any human...
...romantic complications which could be followed only with a navigation chart. The tangles are slowly and rather painfully unsnarled to the accompaniment of songs by Lauritz Melchior, Marina Koshetz and young Jane Powell, who is expected to carry the burden of a clumsy plot about a sea captain (George Brent) and his amorous passengers. Miss Powell makes a game try against heavy odds. The handling of Mr. Melchior, who also tries hard, is in the Hollywood tradition: two pan shots of enraptured listeners to every shot of an opera singer in action. Luxury Liner has also stowed in its cargo...
