...week's special at Harvard's Widener annex features another cut from the same old carcass--a saloon saga, no less, but without the equine and bovine props, without Dictrich, without even Sex, unless Gable bussing Turner during 30 long clinches demonstrates Love. To us it shows endurance,--on the audience's part. Besides, there is only one brief glimpse of Lana's limbs, and strangely enough, while all the other corny cliches are there, you won't find La Lana perching on the pianner as the boys in the background croon "Who Poured the Beer in Paddy's Coffin...
...Cronin's novel, "The Stars Look Down." is a saga of simple working people. The English movie-version best film to enliven local screens in many a month-logically extends the implication of its subject-matter. From a timely oral prologue we learn that the Welsh coal-miners, whose lives are to be dug and coughed and hammered out before us, symbolize the guys-named-Joe "of every nationality and every calling, such as there are the whole world over...

This saga of a nation struggling to be born, of a people trying to unite and find greatness is the story of Chiang Kai-Shek and the young Republic of China. It is also the story of war fought from Burma to Tibet and culminating in the bombing of Chunking. It has the guts that no other movie has and shows how terrible this...
Neat, retiring Herbert Wilcox, British producerdirector, kept the saga of Who? in mind while making Sunny II with his sparkling British star, Anna Neagle. Profiting by the lesson of No, No, Nanette (TIME, Dec. 30), which he made without featuring the musicomedy's best assets, the tuneful score of Vincent Youmans, he plugs Who? for all it is worth. Four different orchestrations deliver it in ballad, tap, choral and semi-rumba rhythm. Three more Kern tunes (Sunny, D'Ya Love Me?, Two Little Blue Birds) are tossed in for good measure...
