crawling is the endlessly mel
ancholy mood In which Mr..
Vidor goes about his work. No
man could be more determined
in his effort to prove that there
is nothing funny about even
a comic who has earned as
many laughs as Joe z. Lewis.
In justice to Mr.. Sinatra's
gloomily good performance, Il
must be granted that his friend
Mr.. Lewis had a savage time
Of 1t becoming a pet Of the
fiossiest night club patrons.
He starts out, in Oscar Saul's
screenplay. as a nice kid with
a voice dramatically tailored TO
the heartbreak songs that made
the 20s cry into speakeasy
drinks. This road to fame,
however, was quickly blocked
by gangsterS who slashed his
vocal chords. leaving Lewis to
work his way back as a gravel
voiced comic via burlesque.
Comes love to help Lewis
over this stretch. the devotion
of heireSs Lefty Page, but
Joe has been psychologically
marked and he cannot bring
himself to ask the girl to marry
him, So. in time, he loses Lefty
and settles for Martha Stewart.
a pert dancer in his night club
shows. This. however. turns out
to be q miSmatch with Joe run
ming second to Martha's Holly
wood career and Martha run
ming fourth to his love for race
tracks. booze and his pals in
both branches Of his avocation.
Il Is a complete summary Of
Lewis life as set down by Art
Cohn in the original biography
hat Mr.. Vidor provides in the
Playhouse film. It finds its one
touch Of moody reality in
Sinatra's performance. In other
respects 1t has the aspect Of
sentimental theatricalitv which
is the fatal flaw Of most Of
these echoes Of the roaring 20s.
In the role of his close friend
Lewis. Sinatra sings a cavalcade
Of nostalgic ballads. and some
parodies thereof. in the voice Of
q late 30s singer who happily
suffered no gangster damage 70

Capitol Theater. Its story OF an
American in the French Foreign
Legion, who has married and de-
serted a Eurasian girl and who
finds himself while fighting Com
|munists in Indo-C China, is believ-
able enough. 1t is solidly played
by a cast headed by Angie Dick
inson. Gene Barry and Nat
King" Cole. And Mr.. Fuller
proves himself a man with a tall
ent for giving force to a melo-
dramatic shock sequence.

Unfortunately. however, the
effect he is after Is often vitiated
by q tendency to belabor a Sc
Iquence above and beyond its
contribution to the story. 1t can
happen to almost any movie
maker. When it happens to one
who has no one looking over his
shoulder because he is writer,
producer and director, a lot Of
belaboring is placed on public
view. This. at any rate, is the
message that comes through
most strongly in China Gate"
There can be no questioning
of Mr.. Fuller's motives, though.
He clearly is determined here to
give the communists the back Of
his hand disguised as entertain
ment. And he does manage to
churn UP some solid excitement
to punctuate his non-refreshing
pauses. The plot Of China
Gate" centers on q long infiltra-
ton into communicated terri
tory aimed at blowing up an
enemy ammunition dump. What
with the swamps, the mines and
the hostile soldiers all over the
place it mounts to a fair amount
of suspense.
The military maneuver is

lens. naturally. The raiding
