EASY to We'd falls short OF being
one of the cinema's most highly in
spired and original undertakings.
In its customarily lavish way,
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer has seen to
it that the musical comedy formula
is in nowise skimped in the Palaces
tune drama. The backgrounds and
the costumes are as rich as rich,
the cast is long and impressive, and
the speciality numbers are produced
with that feeling for luxury which
is the producing studios hallmark.
There is even bow to inter-
canism in the musical scores accent
on Mexican folk tunes and the reit-
Grafton of the rumba and samba
as the dance themes.
Easy to We'd frankly is designed
to be entertaining, nothing more.
1t achieves its purpose rather better
than most exhibits having the same
simple intention.
Based upon the stage play called
''Libeled Lady" the latest Johnson
opus embraces a typically banal
musical comedy plot with the care
freeness of barfly looking for some
one to talk to. 1t is the story of an
heiress who is suing a large news
paper for $2,000,000 libel, and how
she is thwarted by group of fast
talking, attractive knaves in the
employ of the publisher. To say
that it all is unlikely is to risk hav-
ing every one involved ask: Whoever
said it was not?
The risk is another one not worth
taking.
Miss Williams plays the naughty
heiress. large part of The time in
the bathing suits which she made
famous. and vice versa. Her role
is key one, obviously, but the
really fat one goes to johnson as
the newspapers chief flxer in the
libel action. A handsome fellow he
is. lady-maimer who wishes many
times he were lady-killer, especial
ly when the ones he has manned
do not know when he has had
enough.
The job of taking on Miss Will
hams is one that he particularly
relishes. Arrogant, uppercrust beau
ties are his special hate and one
who fancies her feelings to be worth
S2000,000 is something super to
work on. His next largest dislike
in the world is the newspaperman
who employs him, demon sort
played by Comedian Wynn.
The whole thing turns into quite
project, but since there are no
surprises in the action, further de-
tails are unnecessary.
X X X
1t is comedy, not music, which
is stressed in Easy to We'd and
it turns out to have a number of
amusing intervals. Miss Williams,
Evening star., 1946-07-19

being the romantic interest in the
thing, is out of most of the funny
passages, but with Miss Ball, Wynn
and johnson around, she never is
really missed.
Most amusing individual sequence
in the picture, and easily the best
played, is one between johnson and
Miss Ball. In it. he has the in
delicacy to get her drunk on cham
pagne, but he is forced to do it for
the noble purpose of avoiding a
mess of all the lives, especially that
of the heiress. Before the scene
ends, johnson has deftly talked
Miss Ball-a third d-rate, nitwit
night club dancer-into the convic-
ton that she should be playing
Shakespeare: Ophelia, Juliet and
girls like that. It's quite a funny
thing.
More slapstickish, and consider
ably more drawn out, is a sequence
in which johnson diSproves his
wild boasts about being a great
duck hunter by virtually killing
himself before getting conked by
the Canadian honker which he
manages to kill accidentally.
Wynn also contributes notably to
the merry moments of Easy to
Wed" Without once resorting to
the alcoholic stimulants of some
of his previous comedy roles, he is
hilarious asset to the Palace
screenplay in the role of ruthless
editor who counts his f1ancee and
best friends small sacrifices to make
for professional success.
The moments musical of Easy to
Wed" the ones in which johnson
both sings and dances capably, are
high lighted by the appearance of
two of those specialists MGM
seems to have cornered. One is
Carlos Rameriz, the Mexican bari
tone, the other Ethel Smith. Miss
Smith performs her usual lightning
like tricks on the organ in the
climactic scene of the picture.
1t helps make Easy to Wed" easy

won't be any Americans left in the
country.
However, that won't happen unless
America decides to wash her hands Of
Europe. We could, of course, with
draw all troops from Germany and
leave the occupation to the Russians,
British, French and Belgians, but that
would be neither fair nor expedient.
we certainly want hand in re-educat-
ing the Germans, since twice within a
generation they've dragged us into war
and thus demonstrated that American
isolation is impossible.
"As things now stand we haven't
completed our task Of defeating the
Germans. We have them beaten ply
sically for the time being, but we
haven't thrashed them mentally. Many
of them still cherish thoughts of re-
venge and of fresh conquest.
IF we make the occupation invest
ment now, the likelihood is that we can
prevent further aggression bv the
Germans"
