...anyone who has seen the uproarious "Bachelor Mother," Ginger Rogers' performance in "Fifth Avenue Girl" must seem somewhat of a disappointment. The fault, however, lies not with Miss Rogers, but with the producers, who have furnished her with a hackneyed story of family misfortune and bickering among New York's upper crust. Although devoid of the sparkling dialogue and unusual situations of the earlier film, "Fifth Avenue Girl" does have numerous entertaining moments, particularly the scenes of nocturnal love in Central Park. Excellent acting by the leading players also contributes towards making up at least in part for the weak...

...found the baby and that makes it all right. The ensuing complications, involving a department store, a jitterbug contest, and David Niven, all add up to delightful fare, even for the most heavily armor-plated movie-goer. David Niven has climbed another rung towards a well-deserved stardom. Miss Rogers does a fine job, even though the shadows of Fred Astaire and such triumphs as "Top Hat" and "The Castles" still lurk wistfully in the background. Director Kanin, newcomer on the movie lots, has given the whole picture a refreshing sense of everyday people in an everyday world,--a sense...
