I thought the sense of three- dimensional life on the screen, too, was far advanced over that of “Snow White,” and there are new wrinkles in the pho- tography which are eloquent of the work the Disney staff has done since “Snow White.” I like to remember many favorite bits and scenes from “Pinoc- chio.” Her re some of them: The ope g, spollighting the narratory Jimny Cricket, the due, I think, for the popularity that The chorus of the clocks in The Geppetto m tian Rub, h-haunter in “Snow White.” The first view of the sleeping village. ebuillient he was “Dopey’s” Geppetto's shop.

They find the Blue Bird—right at home The new techniolored version is a gorgeous dish, skillfully served, its fantasy aided by an impressive array of technical triumphs headed by the burning foest. Temple is good, and the Russell boy, i his biggest role, is right beside her. Gale Sondergaard, as Tylette the cat, is most interesting of the lot. P «f TAKE THIS WOMAN." Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr. The doctor takes a wife who can’t help lovin’ that man—that other man. He “cures” her and believes her when she says she's really cured—until she really is cured and then he doesn’t believe her any more. Enough good lines (“Time wounds all heels!”) to compensate for some incrediable cliches (“Did I remember to tell you I adore you?”)—and Tracy, with the gorgeous Lamarr, making the whole thing almost believable.
