Cock of the Air (Howard Hughes), which was vigorously censored before release, emerges as a not particularly happy Wartime farce in which Chester Morris, as a scatter-brained aviator, jokes with, flies with, drinks with, wrestles with and finally suggests matrimony with Billie Dove, as a Parisian actress, whose costume armor is heard clanking to the floor at the end of the picture. Typical shot: Chester Morris squirting seltzer at Billie Dove when she slaps him for an improper proposal...
Girl of the Rio (RKO-Radio) is a passable little border romance made from a play called The Dove, in which the late Holbrook Blinn distinguished himself eight years ago. It is about a Mexican millionaire (Leo Carrillo) who, to facilitate his abduction of a cabaret girl (Dolores Del Rio) has her sweetheart (Norman Foster) jailed and removed from the country.

In the play these exaggerations made...

...killed himself by his aged mother. Critics wondered whether Hamlet would not make a better gangster plot than Romeo Or Juliet. The Age For Love (United Artists-Howard Hughes). Howard Hughes let it be known that he was seeking a suitable story for Billie Dove and then devoted a full year to selecting one. The Age for Love, adapted by Ernest Pascal from his own novel, does not seem worth the effort. The story is not offensively dull but it has been told, except for a few details, many times before. It is an imitation problem play, discussing an artificial...
