MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Robert Z. Leonard. Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Walter Pidgeon, Leo Carrillo, Buddy Ebsen, Leonard Penn. Oft-produced tale of love affair of good girl MacDonald and bandit Eddy, with tuneful Gus KahnSigmund Romberg score that didn't produce any hits.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Joseph Kane. Roy Rogers, Mary Hart (Lynne Roberts), Raymond Hatton, Eddie Acuff, William Pawley, Dorothy Sebastian, George Meeker, Guy Usher. After being mustered out as members of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders at the end of the Spanish-American War, Rogers and his pals head for Arizona to join the Border Patrol. There they contend with outlaw Arizona Jack (Pawley), whose secret confederate (Meeker) works for Hart's father. Good entry in Roy's series of historical Westerns. Look for George Montgomery in a bit part as a telegrapher.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Edward Buzzell. Groucho, Chico, and Harpo Marx, John Carroll, Diana Lewis, Walter Woolf King, Robert Barrat. Big letdown from Marxes, until hilarious train-ride climax. Occasional bits sparkle through humdrum script.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: William Witney. Roy Rogers, Tito Guzar, Jane Frazee, Andy Devine, Estelita Rodriguez, Charles McGraw, Fred Graham, Bob Nolan and the Sons of the Pioneers. Roy joins the Sons' destitute tent show to ensure its success and comes up against the show's manager (McGraw), who is secretly running a robbery ring. Fairly entertaining, with flair from Guzar and a wild, stunt-laden stagecoach chase.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Kurt Neumann. Eddie Albert, Gale Storm, James Gleason, Binnie Barnes, Gilbert Roland, Barton MacLane. Innocuous little comedy of Easterner Albert becoming a Western hero.

D: George Sherman. Rory Calhoun, Shelley Winters, Gilbert Roland, Joseph Calleia. Good cast wasted in plodding account of Calhoun and Roland's search for gold. SuperScope.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Nicholas Ray. Susan Hayward, Robert Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Arthur Hunnicutt, Frank Faylen. Intelligent, atmospheric rodeo drama, with ex-champ Mitchum becoming mentor of novice Kennedy--and finding himself attracted to Kennedy's no- nonsense wife (Hayward). Solid going most of the way--until that hokey finale. Well directed by Ray.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: George Stevens. Millie Perkins, Joseph Schildkraut, Shelley Winters, Richard Beymer, Lou Jacobi, Diane Baker, Ed Wynn. Meticulously produced version of Broadway drama dealing with Jewish refugees hiding in WW2 Amsterdam. Unfortunately, Perkins never captures pivotal charm of title character, though Schildkraut is fine as father Frank. Winters won Supporting Actress Oscar as shrill Mrs. Van Daan, ever fearful of Nazi arrest, and the cinematography (William C. Mellor) and art direction-set decoration also earned Academy Awards. Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett utilized Anne's diary for their stage play and its screen adaptation. Originally released at 170m.; this version now is available on video. Remade several times. CinemaScope.
