This is that twelfth month when it's tough. At least three films previewed are of a quality to win first-rating in any ordinary screen month ¢ Adventures of Tom Sawyer € Adventures of Marco Polo,” and Mad About Mus! As arbitrarily as you please, I'm riding along with Deanna Durbin and “Mad About Music the star and the movie of the month This is not to say there may not be a lot more to “Marco Polo” and to “Tom Sawyer” than there is to Deanna’s delightful new musical— but that's one good reason for hiteh- ing a critical wagon the last- named. The others had much more to work with Modern Myth Fifteen-year-old Deanna’s picture is a modern fairy tale about a 14- year-old girl who, lacking a parent she can boast about to schoolmates, invents an heroic daddy, writes her- to self letters and sends herself pho- tographs of him. Then she’s com- pelled to find somebody to fit the myth., Tt turns out to be Herbert MarsHall Out of this situation, trimmed lightly with other plot events, Uni- versal pecifically Producer Joe Pasternak—has made a picture to tickle the ribs of the dourest, touch the toughest, and delight the yearn- after smooth, clever and ers Deanna sings nicely—and “I Love to Whistle” has all the makings of a hit—but even without the musi- cal dessert “Mad About Music would stand up because of its hu- mor and heart appeal. From the performances of Dean- na, Helen Parrish, her tormentor,: Marcia Mae Jones, her loyal friend, and Jackie Moran, her adolescent shy swain, you can get an idea what Hollywood means when it sa that Director Norman Taurog “has a way with child actor: because all those children can't be that good.
