tMeet Danny Wilson" at Keith's
lis a movie in which Frank Sinatra
plays a cadaverous, offensive little
man who sings his way to fame
and fortune.
It is also a movie which might
be described as using half mil
lion dollars worth Of talent in a
|$4.35 script. Miss Shelley VIM
tiers, representing four-fifths OF
the talent value, puts up a terrific
fight to lift the scripts worth to
lat least $40. but even she finds
that effort futile.
It is possible there viii be movie
|goers who may confuse Danny
Wilson's story with Sinatra's own.
There are resmblances, true
enough, especially in the faces and
shape Of the actor and the hero
|of the film. Moreover, this is
clearly not coincidence.
Nevertheless, this could not be
|Sinatra's story. The Danny Will
son he plays is a heel, kind of
two-bit imitation of pal Joey"
He is cocky, dumb, pugnacious
fancies all females as members
of his demented fan club, and is
saved from an early grave only
by virtue of a voice. Naturally, a
guy as bright as Sinatra would
never play a character like Danny
if he thought there would be the
slightest confusion in any ones
mind as to which is which.
Miss Winters, who must be the
busiest actress in the world, is
the nearest thing to an aSsest
in the Universal-In International
production. She plays a girl whose
instincts are so sound that she
falls for Danny's piano player
(Alex NichoD instead Of the
grooming star.
She adds, up to quite a busy
figure, pushing the latter away
and trying to pull the other into
her heart. She makes something
of an amusing act of this. indeed.
but the film treats it as useful
only to carry the story from one
Sinatra song to the next.
Maury Gertsman's script makes
due note again that night club
owners are sinister, violent types
who are best played by actors
like Raymond Burr. This may
not be universally true but one
would never know it from movies
like Meet Danny Wilson"
There have been so many movies
like Meet Danny Wilson,"

Like they say in the movies
Joan Crawford is in trouble-ba
trouble-in "This Woman Is DAN
gerous" at the Warner theater.
Miss Crawford is an old hand
at trouble. to be sure, but even
she seems i'll prepared for the
avalanche of catastrophe which
the script writer's let loose in this
Warner production.
Trouble A, to run through them
briefly, is that she is going blind.
Trouble B is that she is the cats
paw of a murderous. insanely
jealous outlaw. Trouble C is that,
at long last, she falls honestly and
honorably in love with the sur
geon who restores her sight with
the prospect. of course, that she
will get him killed by the vengeful
criminal.
Trouble D is that only Miss
Crawford's dyed-in-the-wool fans
will take the trouble to see "This
Woman Is Dangerous.
X y r y
The surprise of the Warner film
is that two men with such pretty
writing names as Geoffrey Homes
and George Worthington Yates
could have written such q bad
script. Authors with names like
that should be positively Scintil-
lating. No doubt this is what
Warner Bros. assumed when they
signed the pair.
'ThiS Woman Is Dangerous
should teach them that Geoffrey
Homes and George Worthington
Yates are just words.
y X
Most of the romantic melo-
drama, to give it a label, is shot
against the background of a small
hospital in Indiana. Here Miss
Crawford has taken refuge against
her tainted past, her absinthe-
drinking Romeo, and her prospec-
tive blindness.
For the first time in her life,
she finds herself in an environ
ment that is quiet, innocent, dedi-
Gated to the healing of mankind.
What is more. in the surgeon
played by Dennis Morgan. she
finds the man she missed when
she was a pure young girl in
Eaton, Kans.. years before.
She would, naturally. lock out
all that had gone before, but how
is woman to lock out an outlaw
lover who has cracked the safest
banks in America? He is always
coming, this ravening beast played
by David Brian. and one day he
arrives.
There is the usual surface sheen
on This Woman Is Dangerous. !"
Indiana looks like paradise IN
front of the cameras. It also looks
little like California, probably
Evening star., 1952-02-15

because the picture was shot
there. The hospital is a trim and
beautiful haven for the Ill and
the peace and tranquility Of the
small mid-western town would
jar Mayor Impelleteri.
Obviously, considering what she
already has suffered, this is the
place where Miss Crawford and
DR.. Morgan (Dennis) are going to
settle down at the fadeout.
"A heroine cannot go on having
bad trouble all her life. like they
say in the movies.

Hutson is a rookie and Lemon is
