...brogue who falls into fairyland. Ray Milland and Alan Marshall are the tail-coated sheiks who try to catch her. And when Ellis Island and Plymouth Rock don't quite fit together, May Robson is there to prove that you can't stop an O'Dair from the County Clare after he's caught sight of a goal or a bottle. As granny on the maternal side (she had five), May almost steals the show...

...bottom of his ambitions and marshal Bob Seton always waiting to take her away, the plot preserves all the aspects of a rip-roaring melodrama and yet succeeds where hundreds have failed. "Dark Triumph," boasting a lot of new talent and some oldtimers like Walter Pidgeon and Clare Trevor is one of the better pictures to his a Boston screen this year. It has splendid acting, direction that knows how to use a herd of thundering cavalrymen and how to develop the character of a good man turned bad, and a touch of building-the-old-West spirit all rolled...

...love with the wrong man. The trite plot is not helped much by the dialogue. There are frequent scenes in which one seriously suspects that Miss Lamarr will, at any moment, be tied to the railroad tracks, but fortunately there are others (not so frequent) which reminds one of Clare Booth at her nastiest best. Spencer Tracy is definitely out of place. He is aphoristic, as usual, but he is convincingly so in a steaming jungle not in an expensive night club.
