It isn’t as funny a piece, however, as “Rebecca” was an intriguing one, nor as “Foreign Correspondent” was an exciting one. In other words, Mr. Hitchcock didn't live up to this corner’s expectations. “TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME.” Screenplay by Karl Turnberg and Darrell Ware. Directed by H. Bruce Huberstone. Principals: Cesar Romero, Virginia Gilmore, Charlotte Green- wood, Milton Berle, Sheldon Leonard, Stanley Clements, Frank Jenks, Barnett Parker. Speaking of expectations — we hadn’t any in particular for this one, and had them exceeded. For here, of all things, is a ganster comedy which turns up a couple of new angles, even though the “Chicago mob” theme was thoroughly handled in the old gangster film cycle. Romero is a big shot, out after the nice gal who loves him but doesn’t care for the killer in him. The picture explains, and cleverly, how the big shot makes his reputation without living up to it, and how — at the finish — he metes out poetic justice to his rival from the South Side.

New York's waterfront was a colorful maze of salling ships, whose rigging made an exotic network against the sky and whose bowsprits jutting into the shore made progress along the waterfront streets like walking under a beamed ceiling. It was a robust, hail-and-hearty life New Yorkers led in those days, typified in the story of the barmaid belle of the brawling wateriront who fought the whole town to win the love and share in the glory of such 'a man as Robert Fulton. | The headstrong bhelle is Alice Faye, who finds herself in rivalry with Brenda Joyce, niece of Ful- ton’s wealthy backer, for the affec- tions of Fulton, player by Richard Greene, Although “Little Old New York” deals basically with the drama of the first steamboat, the “Clermont,” the historical aspects are over- shadowed by the absorbing double romance, with Fred MacMurray making his bid. for love as the rough-hearted, shipbuilder admirer of Miss Faye.
