She also looks miraculously fetching in the blue serge suit and black cotton stockings of "a Wren. Versatile Cinemactor Donat (The 39 Steps, Goodbye, Mr. Chips) seems happy in what is probably the freest, freshest comedy role he has ever had, and grows young even more gracefully than he grew old in the James Hilton heartwringer...

They urged Americans to contribute to the strikers at General Motors, General Electric, U.S. Steel or "any other struck corporation." (Presumably each strike's issues and merits were beside the point...
Tars and Spars (Columbia) introduces to the screen a likable blond zany named Sid Caesar. This otherwise routine little wartime musicomedy is about life & love in the U.S. Coast Guard-i.e., another late-arriving salute to the services, featuring singing Tar Alfred Drake, dancing Tar Marc Platt and Cinemactress Janet Blair, who is pretty and Spar-slim in a seagoing blouse and skirt. The upshot of the whole thing is predictable until Tar Sid Caesar, a product of Yonkers and the City of New York, lets loose with the most overwhelming spate of gobbledygook since the Johnstown Flood...
