once the husband gets out Of the
moral strait jacket into his old
groove as a debonair, wisecraclking
sinner. The husbands discovery
that he has a wife as beautiful and
alluring as Miss 10y is the first bit
of excitement, followed by his shock
that she is about to divorce him on
the grounds of unspeakable dull
ness.
Funny as they are, these dashes
of biological flavoring are not the
most humorous touches in Il Love
You Again" They are done with
a cleverness and good taste that
gets them by the censors, but this
departments nomination for the
slickest sequences are the one In
which the recovered amnesia VIC
tim uses his old job as scoutmaster
to flimflam the towns richest citi-
zens and his moment OF horror
when he discovers he has been the
type of man who wears sailor straw
hats. Another passage played for
all the laughs any one could ask is
that in which Powell, discovering
he has been another fellow for nine
years, decides to 60 through his own
luggage to see what kind Of chap
he was.
Van Dykes direction has allowed
the various situations in his pic
ture to dictate their own treatment.
If slapstick Is demanded, such as
the dumping of plate OF scrambled
eggs on the clever head of his hero,
slapstick is what the passage be-
comes. When the treatment should
be quick and subtle, 1t is that, defi-
nitely and deftly. Miss 10y and
Powell are expert in all comedy
methods, and they are blessed here
with a director and script which give
them chance to show their most
sweeping skill.
Among others who deserve espe-
cial credit for the gayety of Il Love
You Again" are Charles Lederer,
George Oppenheimer and Harry
Kurnitz. Their adaptation Of Oc-
tavus Roy Cohen's original story is
humorous, inventive, suitably deli
cate and limited to a minimum of
pauses between laughter.
Secondary players carry their re-
spective burdens with ample skill
in every case, most amply Frank
McHugh in the role of slavish stooge
to the recovered confidence man.
Il Love You Again" has been pro-
duced with that visual excellence
which is the hallmark of M-G-M
and the only visual excellence
worthy of its stars when they are
in a mood for one of their more
lively romps. 1t Is an excellent
antidote for the more violent mani
festations of amnesia in the world
the one that has turned some ma
lions into brutes.

Loew's Capitol, had sly notions Of
making this the burlesque to end
all other films of its particular
genre. 1t might not be q bad idea.
It's hard to believe the boys were
seriously attempting to palm of
this yarn-this preposterous yarn,
one might say-at it's face value.
Had they been serious they surely
would have given us something
other than an assortment of trite
situations 50 old that they must be
collectors items by now. They
would have given us something 9TH
er than the story of Ruby, the sooty
dove Of Shanghai who leaves of
cadging drinks in a waterfront bar to
20 pearl.hunting with Victor McLag-
len; Ruby, who enters into q nefar-
ious plot to keep the handsome son
of the island chieftain too occupied
to look out for the natives welfare;
Ruby, who undergoes amazing re-
generation when true love smites
her.
More amazing even than Ruby's
regeneration is the ability the peo-
pie involved have displayed at play
ing all this nonsense with poker
faces the roadside melodrama spe-
cialists would envy. To look upon

Olympic Bradna, Jon Hall, Mr.. Nc
Laglen and the others, you would
think they were taking all this SER
iously. One can but sit and Won
der at them and we can't imagine
how they managed it, unless they
were wading through the cliches
in their sleep, which anyone with
more than two years experience in
the cinema should be able to do with
these cliches.
Hollywood argues-and 1t is a
logical argument that hardly can be
denied-that bad pictures are not
just q lucky little accident. We
think the boys tip their hand on
that score, however, when Miss
Farmer. in a sort Of Mother Hub
bard sarong, looks at Mr.. Hall
soulfully and says: do you want
me-Qong pause)-to go back to my
friends?" How could the Hays
office know what would happen to
a line that read: DO you want me
to 60 back to my friends?'
We think these lads set out to
make a film that would be verita-
BILE gem among bad pictures. Well,
they have achieved one which is
heartily recommended to connois-
seurs of cinematic turkeys. who will
relish it to the full. Double well

Affections ever suffered by film

nine-year case of amnesia to dis
cover that he has been pompous
fuddy-duddy during that interval.
His major detectives, after recovery,
