Wearing kilts instead of blackface, Larry Parks is a Scotsman here, returning to his ancestral clan. Clans aren't worth a darn unless they're a-feudin' and pretty soon another clan turns up with plaids and tempers that clash with Parks' outfit. After a couple of deep technicolor breaths of the sky (blue) the trappings (scarlet) and the lochs (emerald) the picture settles down to conversation (colorless, but strongly accented). The time has come to stop looking and listen. Clan wars are futile, says the hero sand because his bonny one belongs to the other clan, the time...
...combination of those superb scenes and a few other high points of dance specialist Kathryn Lee, however, with the usual quota of R & H songs beginning "When a fella ..." "It's a Darn Nice Campus," or "Come home, son, come home," is a little hard to take. The humor is in many places stale--the bewildered freshman was done last year in "Barefoot Boy," for example, and the childhood romance and the rocking chairs of the first set were new in "Our Town."

The greatest help that any candidate could have is a good record-a good record by this Congress-and I mean the whole Congress...
...much about the mail. But in one of the huts, jauntily labeled Ice Cap Inn, three girls of the American Red Cross battle the loneliness and-boredom which breeds cabin fever.They mend G.I. clothes, darn socks, organize skiing and fishing trips with dogged gaiety. They gallantly journey to the isolated outposts for dances. In a country where all native settlements are off limits, where at times even the radio is blotted out by the crackle of northern lights, these Red Cross girls come as close as any one could to spelling home...
