The others go back as they came. It is a grand, imaginative job of story-telling — Ford at his best with the superlative camera work of Gregg Toland always prominent. Mitchell, Bond and Hunter have the best acting roles and do best by them, but every player, as usual in Ford pictures, is a “character.” If these aren’t real seamen on a real sea, then neitHer will ever be captured for the screen and Shang “THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED.” Screenplay by PERCY’S CAFE [ ] TOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakiast, Dinner or Light Lunches © DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS Robert Ardrey from play by Sidney Howard.

Fat little Tony Patucci,. with a thriving California vineyard and money in the bank, was smitten by the looks of a thin little watress in San Franciscg. What he wanted was a wife and kids and he picked on her. But when he wrote he sent the picture cf his romantic rogue of a helper, who wanted nothing more than to have fun and keep moving. The girl wanted to get away from the dishes and trays and was game to pay the price. What none of 'em counted on was sex and the accident that postponed Tony's marriage to.the girl. By telling the story straightforwardly and honestly, Kanin and crew work up to a walopling dramatic climax. On the way there’s sardonic humor, some sweet sentiment, and a characterization by Laughton so different you can forget Bligh, Ruggles and the Hunchback en- You may be surprised to see Fay, onetime m. ¢., in priestly airment, and Gargan effective as a romantic heel.
