...blacker. In the famous anti-climactical finale Goldovsky had two of his singers draw the curtains behind them as they warned the audience of the effects of sin, thus putting the last film of farce on what should have been a tragedy-on a performance that was petty and cute and exaggerated instead of majestic and underlyingly serious...
...suggest, if the plot demands it, a man who is delicate, ill, or even morally weak. Peck appeals, as a very popular male star must, to both bobby-soxers and their mothers. He manages this feat without presenting himself as a big brother, as a cute, asexual nephew, or as a sophisticated porch climber.

But it is hard to believe that Sergeant Reagan could long endure the retarded maiden she portrays, much less find her cute. However, it is likely that millions of people will think her adorable and will titter delightedly over all the broken-field-running among the beds...
