...Libeled Lady' smacks strongly of having been written specifically for the four positive personalities in it. To exploit to the full the talents of William Powell, Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, and Myrna Loy, and make those four stars revolve in concentric orbits, some kind of story had to be concocted including, in the above order, a combination of masculinity and dapper suavity, an untamed creature inducing and abounding in excessive primitive passion, a dim-witted but competent piece of virility, and a chilly aristocrat who's a warm little girl after...
...require realism, intertwining is done with remarkable skill. A journalistic slip so incenses Walter Connolly that in behalf of his daughter, Miss Loy, he sues the paper for $5,000,000 to be annexed to his other $50,000,000. Mr. Powell is called upon by Mr. Tracy to mend things, and his strategy involves a nominal marriage with Spencer's longsuffering but not over-patient girl, Miss Harlow. The latter, utterly baffled by William's willingness to let the marriage stay nominal, obeys the cinematic law of things, and decides that she doesn't want it to stay nominal...

Observer for President Roosevelt was Second Secretary Loy Henderson in charge of the U. S. Embassy in the absence of Ambassador William Bullitt. On a dais four judges in Soviet Army khaki took their places. President of the Court was thickset Judge Vassily Jakovlevich Ulrich, famed ever since he presided at the Soviet trial of British Metropolitan-Vickers engineers (TIME, April 24, 1933). Somewhat less light of step and pantherlike than usual entered Chief Prosecutor Andrei Vishinsky, longtime pouncer in broadcast Bolshevik trials. At the left of Judge Ulrich was the box of 16 prisoners around whom stood Red Army...
...Mary-With Love (Twentieth Century-Fox). "People are always saying the movies should be more like life. I think life should be more like the movies," says Mary Wallace (Myrna Loy) soon after she has had a quarrel with her husband. This movie is too much like life to be spectacular entertainment. Nevertheless it is a biting case history of what has happened to some bright young people in the last ten years...
