...Technicolor movies of the U. S. Mountain Troops will be shown tomorrow night at the Cadet Armory in Boston at 8:15 o'clock. "Ski Patrol" shows action shots of the ace Army schussers in training at Camp Hale, Colorado, and this showing is sponsored by the First Motor Squadron of the State Guard. Tickets can be obtained at the Coop or the door...
Springtime in the Rockies (20th Century-Fox) ends with a song called Pan-Americana Jubilee and attempts to be just that by whipping together 1) Latin America (Cesar Romero, Carmen Miranda and her band), 2) the U.S. (Betty Grable, John Payne, Harry James and his band), 3) Canada (large Technicolor hunks of Lake Louise, where the action takes place). The addition of an Eskimo and a penguin would have made the show still more hemispheric in scope, but Springtime in the Rockies, though it had its moments, is something...
...Forest Rangers (Paramount) is the story of two fights, of which the first is a Technicolor natural. Fight No. 1 is waged by the Rangers against fire in U.S. National Forests. Fight No. 2 is the cat-spat which Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward wage over Fred MacMurray, while Rival Regis Toomey watches enviously at the ringside...

It also makes fire look very fiery while the sound of rushing flames suggests the rumpling of tons of cellophane. So long as The Forest Rangers sticks to these simple properties, and to firefighting methods, the picture is gaudy, noisy, unsafe and sane. But all too soon Cinemactress Goddard falls off a horse and flattens Cinemactor MacMurray, who immediately feels (or so he says) "like I had swallowed a comet." While he digests it, which takes a long time, fires are in abeyance...
...oily blue-blackness of smoke, the strange black flowers and white streamers painted on the sky by planes and bursting ack-ack, the mortal brilliance of blood-Technicolor vindicates the remark made about it at its birth a decade ago that "Now Hollywood is ready to film the Last Judgment." The film jumps crazily when the bombs rock the Hand; and the camera shifts again & again to the faces of two young Marines firing an anti-aircraft gun-not in fear, not in bloodthirst, but only intently, the way an outfielder watches a fly ball...
