...humor that make this picture a sorry contrast to the recent run of heavy drama. Top billing goes to Dorothy Lamour and Richard Denning, both well exhibited as Hollywood's handsomest hunks. But the feature performer, the guy who lifts the film out of the Class D league, isn't even mentioned on the program. Much funnier than comic Jack Haley and apparently far more intelligent than the rest of the cast, the pet monkey really stars. With his ability to steal pancakes only equalled by his talent in throwing apples, the half-pint ape has no trouble in making...
...segregation of the colored race isn't the question in this case at all. I am not trying to set myself up to judge whether that is right or wrong. All I know is that there is accepted segregation, and when the Hayes woman refused to abide by the rules governing her race she was entirely to blame for the consequences...

It's that wonderful scene where Tristan, knowing he is going to die, invites...
...British have phrases and colloquialisms of their own that may sound funny to you. You can make just as many boners in their eyes. It isn't a good idea, for instance, to say 'bloody' in mixed company-it is one of their worst swear words. To say: 'I look like a bum' is offensive in their ears, for to the British this means that you look like your own backside...
