Or three Days this depart ment has been jump seeing films that seemed to Promise some thing out of the Ordinary in entertainment. To report on two of them my favorite wife and Edison the Man to say that they re both Worth while. Favorite wife is the funniest comedy of the season. It s a farce hardly pure and hardly simple which is just another Way of say ing that it s a comedy of marital mix the French manner. It reunites the team of Irene Dunne and Grant under particularly favourable circumstances although the occasion docs not Call for quite so much rejoicing As was the Case in the awful truth. However my favorite wife is Good enough for anybody s laughing time. The plot is preposterous. Miss Dunne does deft work As the wife declared dead who turns ii on tote Day her husband marries again time to Gail Patrick. There is a Good Deal of running about Between rooms and the plot skates on the thin ice of respectability All the Way. Or. Grant is his usual Blunt self As the husband but miss Patrick is totally unsuited to screw Ball comedy. Edison the Man is quite another matter from my favorite wife. It is a distinguished biography of a great Man superbly done and splendidly acted by Spencer Tracy and a Fine cast. It is heartily recommended to fans of All Ages.
