Under Erich Pommer’s direction “The Beachcomber” reaches heights of sardonic humor in its narration of circumstances in which the implacable enemies become not only friends but roman- tically invelved. It's one of the year’s treats. “Thanks for Everything” is another musical from the 20th Century-Fox pattern. After a slow start, it builds to consistent hilgrity in scenes in which Jack Haley, as guinea pig for Adolphe Menjou’s advertising firm, is subjected to “tests” to discover what provocation the “average man” needs to go to war. 4 m Haley’s picture, with singable tunes by Tony Martin, and “”M Barnes, Arleen Whelan, and George Barbier ‘m” Seiter directed. adv.
