continued philosophical discussion
between the priest and the GRIM
inal. What is justice? the young
padre asks himself. Justice is a
blind dame weighing fish, groWls
the con man realist.
Much of the comedy is pures>
slapStick. too, as in wild chase
sequence involving a taxi bearing
johnson and Douglas and a pair
of jeeps bearing wild Roman cops.
A great deal of the fun stems
from Douglas masquerade as a
priest to evade the law on land
ing at Genoa. He gets along fine
with the disguise until a pair of
authentic members of the cloth
take him in tow. He has quite
a time of it then, trying to act
like priest. his choir boy days
being long in the past.
There are couple of moments
when when in Rome" lags just
a bit, but Director Brown has kept
the overall pace lively. 1t isn't
intended as an unreStrained
comedy anyhow and it has its
serious overtones. It is just warm
'and richly human film and you
ought to find it quite cheering
experience.
Douglas and Johnson dominate
the proceedings rather completely
but they have been given good
support by players of minor roles.
One of these is Joseph Calleia, who
contributes no little as a police
officer who speaks English by i'm
posing an Italian accent on Texas
type dialogue. Others who assist
briefly but competently are Tudor
Owen, as friendly Dublin priest;
Mario Siletti, as a spectacularly
inept detective, and Aldo Silvani,
as a Roman cab driver.

If there was another side to
life. it is completely ignored in
this gigantic, Technicolored swatch
of the past starring Gregory Peck
and Ann Blyth. In making it,
it has clearly been the intention of
Goth Century, to overWhelm
every one into forgetting there
are other competitive media of
entertainment.
Those who can manage to be
overwhelmed by "The World In
His Arms" probably will enjoy it
for this is pure movie, unblink-
ingly and outrageously incredible
in every word and act.

Rex Beach, the most florid

author of this tale of a reckless
ship captain who bought Alaska
from the Russians and took the
most beautiful of the Romanotf
girls as his extra margin of profit.
Borden Chase. who did the
screenplay directed by Raoul
Walsh, could see no reason for
changing the spirit OF the Beach
original. Peck, Miss Blyth, and
the others of the large cast play
it with all stops out. BY the time
they have completed their work.
THE World In His Arms is the
gustiest picture of 1852, as we'll as

In Comedy Gem at Capitol

A Holy Year pilgrimage of a
young priest to Rome might not
strike you offhand as a fit subject
for comedy. You can be happy,
though that pair of Hollywood
people named Clarence Brown and
Robert Buckner did see the comic
possibilities of such a journey.
Producer-Director Brown has
turned Buckner'S original story on
the subject (by way of a screen
play by Charles Schnee and Dor
othy Kingsley into gem of
movie in when in Rome"
It's at the Capitol and you'd
better not pass it up. Movies off
the beaten track are something
We don't have plethora of.
when in Rome" probably owes
as much to its two principal play
ers as to Brown and the screen
script. Van johnson plays the
young priest and Paul Douglas
con man on the lam. The mo-
ment they are thrown together on
sfipboard it becomes obvious that
the goal of the film will be the
saving of the con mans soul. Its
manner of achieving the goal is
both comic and heart-Warming
and never doctrinal enough to
bother a on-Catholic.
Douglas contributes a superb
performance as hard-bltten
criminal determined to stay out
of the clutches of the law at any
cost. There are all sorts of pit
falls in the role, especially in the
latter moments when repentance
is setting in and Sentimentality
might come with it. Douglas man
ages to avoid them all, though.
He never overplays and he never
underplays.
johnson is fair match for him,
too. He has progressed consider
ably beyond his original movie
status as box-offlce bait for the
SWoon set. He has a keen flair
for playing a comedy scene on
that same natural level as Doug
las. His is a most agreeable por-
trait of a young priest shielding
a criminal and all the while wres-
tling with his conscience over
whether or not he should turn the
man in.
The comedy in when in Rome"
takes several different forms. Much
OF it is humor Stemming from a
