...dormant man in young Hardy. The other two, gold-digging twins (the Wilde sisters), arouse the adolescent beast in him. In cutbacks Mother Hardy (Fay Holden) is seen wandering around in her nightgown and Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) gets tonsillitis. Andy finally untangles himself and is last shown imploring Cinemactress Granville to nurse her cold. Meaning: he has grown...
...turn this silky swatch of cruelty and suffering into dramatically coherent, steadily intensifying terror takes considerable style in the staging, and gets a lot of it from everyone involved, especially from Cinemactress Bergman. She wears her bustled gowns in a way to set off the flagrantly beautiful interiors of her home.

Typical number: Martha Raye sings Red Robins, Bob-whites and Bluebirds, while a lot of girls rhythmically wag the red, white & blue rear ends...
...Yellow Canary (RKO-Radio) is porcelain-jawed Anna Neagle sacrificing her good name by flashlighting the Luftwaffe's way to Buckingham Palace. Just to watch reputable Cinemactress Neagle play a fifth columnist for half a picture-length without once tipping the audience a wink or an apology is rather novel. More traditional kinds of suspense involve saboteurs, spies, counterspies and a plot to blow up Halifax. There is also a stunningly funny old comic (Margaret Rutherford), playing the sort of tetched, tweedy Englishwoman whose lightest whisper is a yawp. As a spy-thriller, the picture would be no better...
