MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Robert Z. Leonard. Myrna Loy, Melvyn Douglas, Raymond Walburn, Lee Bowman, Bonita Granville. Mediocre comedy with attractive stars. Loy dissuades romance by pretending to be married, so Douglas claims to be her husband!

D: Victor Saville. Errol Flynn, Dean Stockwell, Paul Lukas, Thomas Gomez, Cecil Kellaway. Rousing actioner based on Kipling classic, set in 1880s India, with British soldiers combatting rebellious natives. Flavorful production. Remade for TV in 1984 with Peter O'Toole.

LEONARD
MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Howard Hawks. Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Charles Coburn, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Marlowe. Grant discovers rejuvenation serum, which affects him, wife Rogers, boss Coburn, and secretary Monroe in this zany comedy. Coburn's classic line to MM: "Find someone to type this.'' Written by Ben Hecht, Charles Lederer, and I.A.L. Diamond; that's Hawks' voice during the opening credits.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: James V. Kern. Ann Sheridan, Alexis Smith, Jane Wyman, Eve Arden, Jack Carson, Charlie Ruggles, Alan Mowbray, Craig Stevens, Regis Toomey. Brittle comedy, still another variation on crowded situation in wartime Washington, with newlyweds Carson and Wyman on hectic honeymoon. Arden stands out as Russian army officer.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Michael Curtiz. Cary Grant, Alexis Smith, Monty Woolley, Ginny Simms, Jane Wyman, Eve Arden, Mary Martin, Victor Francen, Alan Hale, Dorothy Malone. Music only worthy aspect of fabricated biography of songwriter Cole Porter, stiffly played by Grant, who even sings "You're the Top.'' Martin recreates "My Heart Belongs to Daddy'' in film's highlight.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Lawrence Windom. Babe Ruth, Ruth Taylor, William Sheer, Margaret Seddon, Frances Victory, James A. Marcus. The Sultan of Swat makes his screen debut in this cornball comedy-drama about a wholesome small-town boy who becomes a baseball star. Even though his character is called Babe, this ode to the simple joys of rural America is not to be confused with the Bambino's own life story. A curio to be sure, and a must for baseball fans.

MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Carl Theodor Dreyer. Julian West (Baron Nicolas de Gunzburg), Sybille Schmitz, Maurice Schutz, Henriette Gerard. Dreyer's stylized use of light, shadow, and camera angles takes precedence over the plot in this chilling vampire-in-a-castle tale. Based on the novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu; filmed several times later. Originally made in French, German, and English versions.
