Meanwhile Trustbuster Thurman Arnold joined the fray, charged the producers with "harsh, onerous and unfair trade practices," indicted Hollywood's Big Eight (Loew's, Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO Radio, 20th-century Fox, Columbia, Universal, United Artists) under the antitrust laws. His announced objective was to divorce production and distribution, make the big producers ' give up their 2,400 theatres.

Tracy plays the superman of frontier tall tales, Major Rogers of Rogers' Rangers, who performs stupendous feats of leadership on a handful of parched corn a day. It is a delight and a pleasure to see him take...

Those who go to see "Gone With The Wind" expecting "the greatest motion picture ever produced," the "film of the century," and the "apotheosis of the photographic art" are going to be--and have been--disillusioned. But those who approach Loew's with their mental standards set at the usual level will have a rare treat...
