Never a Dull Moment (1950)

A female music critic marries a rancher and has to adjust to life out West.

Dir: George Marshall Cast: Irene Dunne , Fred MacMurray , William Demarest .

89 min, TV-G , CC

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: George Marshall. Irene Dunne, Fred MacMurray, William Demarest, Andy Devine, Gigi Perreau, Natalie Wood, Philip Ober, Ann Doran. Chic Park Avenue songwriter Dunne weds rancher MacMurray, and adjusts to life in rural Wyoming. Silly, predictable comedy is only of interest for its cast; you'll find this especially annoying if you're a feminist or an Indian.

An Indian-hating Civil War veteran tracks down the tribe that slaughtered his family and kidnapped his niece.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: John Ford. John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Ward Bond, Natalie Wood, John Qualen, Harry Carey, Jr., Olive Carey, Antonio Moreno, Henry Brandon, Hank Worden, Ken Curtis, Lana Wood, Dorothy Jordan, Pat Wayne. Superb Western saga of Wayne's relentless search for niece (Wood) kidnapped by Indians, spanning many years. Color, scenery, photography all splendid, with moving, insightful Frank Nugent script to match (based on Alan LeMay's novel). And who could ever forget that final shot? Remade and imitated many times since (CARAVANS, WINTERHAWK, GRAYEAGLE, etc.).

D: Stuart Heisler. Tab Hunter, Natalie Wood, Skip Homeier, Eduard Franz, Earl Holliman, Claude Akins. Passive Hunter can't spark life into tired script based on a Louis L'Amour novel. Man on run from cattle thieves is sheltered by Wood, miscast as a half-breed Mexican girl. CinemaScope.

A police captain's emotions get in the way when his daughter is kidnapped.

Dir: Frank Tuttle Cast: Edmond O'Brien , Brian Donlevy , Natalie Wood .

75 min, TV-14

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Frank Tuttle. Edmond O'Brien, Brian Donlevy, Natalie Wood, Raymond Burr, Richard Anderson. Why is mysterious, psychotic Burr spying on Wood and her boyfriend? And what happens after he kidnaps her? Overwrought drama, but fascinating as a time capsule of its era, and then prevalent attitudes toward cops and victims. Burr is quite good.

D: David Butler. Tab Hunter, Natalie Wood, Jessie Royce Landis, Jim Backus, Henry Jones, Murray Hamilton, Alan King, James Garner, David Janssen. Hunter is new recruit in Army. Reminiscent of SEE HERE, PRIVATE HARGROVE, without any of the warmth or humor.
