Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 19, 1946, Winnipeg, Manitoba Is Winnipeg free press thursday december 19, 1946 pages with prank. The Way to the stars it is a Fine thing to be reminded of the grandeur and the duties of our common heritage and that is a thing that the Way to the stars now showing at the Garrick theatre does with Superb insight. I Don t think that any film dealing with the efforts of the fliers from both Britain and the United states has succeeded As this film has in show ing us the spirit and the Pluck that guided these men in the recent War. The Way to the stars does not Wear its heart on its sleeve. It is told with Beautiful sincerity and great reticence and it will strike a common chord in the hearts of All who witness it. Nobility of spirit the men and the women you be come acquainted with during its unfold ment Are the sort of men and women that you know the sort of men and women that you meet every Day. And it shows you that under the stress and uncertainties of War that they carry on with a nobility of spirit and a Stead fastness of purpose that is a credit to themselves and Rosamond John the things we stand for. And when it shakes hands across the sea it does so with a spirit of brotherhood rather than in the atmosphere of commercial stickiness that has permeated More than one movie of this Type.

Pathos and humor the pathos and the humor tha motivated the lives of the men on the Field and their relationships with their wives and sweethearts Are shown in revealing glimpses the plot which is slender shows you the Way that a women Rosa mond John carries on after the death of her flier husband. Running As a counterpoint to this main theme is the Story of Peter Penrose John Mills who wonders if he is free in the face of danger to ask the woman he loves Renee Asherson to marry him. The performers mentioned and in addition Michael Redgrave Douglass Montgomery Joyce Carey Stanley Holloway Trevor Howard Basil Radford and others give Superb performances. The direction of Anthony Asquith is masterly Anc the screenplay is from the pen of Terence Rattigan. The Way to the stars is a Beautiful movie. They made me a killer swamp fire a couple of Hollywood boys by the names of Pine and Thomas have been turning out action films with a Speed and slickness that have made them minor marvels of the town. These quickies Are effective thrillers and they have made a mint of Money for Paramount their sponsor. The two movies at the lyceum theatre this week Are both produced by the Pine Thomas team and they Are Good samples of the kind of thing that they Are capable of. They made me a killer is the better of the two. It is As a matter of fact just about the Best they have Ever released tightly knit film they made me a killer tightly knit Little movie it keeps moving for the whole hour and six minutes that it takes it to unfold and since motion is still a Good thing in a movie it will Hole your interest. Tom burling Robert Lowery is framed into helping a gang of thugs to escape from the scene of a Bank robbery. Arrested he make a getaway and undertakes with the help of a girl Barbara Britton to find the Crooks and establish his innocence. There s very Little in the Way of originality to distinguish the picture but it does As i be mentioned move at a brisk rate. Lacks Sharpness swamp fire the second lyceum movie lacks the Sharpness of they made me a Kier. It does t Deve of momentum until its final reels. End its performances Are pretty routine. It deals with Johnny Duval Johnny Weismuller in the Mississippi Bayou country who returns from the War with shattered nerves Johnny soon gets into a number of situations that would tend to make the nerves of an Ordinary person that much worse. However. A bar Pilot Johnny Weissmuller everything comes out All right at the finish. The biggest Surprise of the film is that Buster Crabbe. Who. With Johnny manages to keep his clothes on for the whole length of the movie makes a very convincing villain. Dance sat.
