Twentieth Century-Fox's ebullient Darryl Zanuck characteristically promised "at least five" $2,000,000 pictures: The Rains Came, with Tyrone Power, Myrna Loy, George Brent; Stanley and Livingstone; Little Old New York with Alice Faye; Brigham Young; Drums Along the Mohawk.

Lucky Night (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Bad luck for Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor, gummed up in a sticky-silly version of the story about a couple who get acquainted, drunk, married...

In spite of her two marriages (moderate for Hollywood) she represents the American Girl, 1939 model-alert, friendly, energetic, elusive. Less eccentric than Carole Lombard, less worldly-wise than Myrna Loy, less impudent than Joan Blondell, she has a careless self-sufficiency which they lack. As a dancer, Ginger Rogers has been immensely improved by her association with Astaire, who works out the routines for most of their numbers, then teaches them to her. She now has no screen rivals...
