Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 20, 1953, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg Frek press. Tuesday january 20, Page Plymouth adventure a though it misses the epic sweep and dramatic compulsion that prompted the Pil grim fathers to set out on their Mayflower voyage Plymouth adventure which opened at the met theatre monday has a certain amount of conventional outdoor movie interest. The movie has been produced on a grand scale and is studded with some exciting shots not ably a Gigantic storm at sea. How Ever its actors Are too nicely technicolor tinted for their own Good and save for a few instances the characterizations Are As thin As tissue paper. It is quite possible that with Little More honesty approach and freshness of viewpoint ply Mouth adventure could have been a notable picture about the birth of a new world. However the Pic Ture gets bogged Down with fragmentary and inconclusive portraits the passengers and Crew. Very Eldom Are you conscious that they Are not costumed and posturing cars. Only Spencer Tracy with an in Sive and bitter touch is really Ible to bring the show to life As he hard bitten and mercenary Captain of the Mayflower. Gene Zierne y has been dragged in for Ove interest As a pallid married woman who becomes enamoured of m. The very nature of the May Flower Enterprise has been responsible for a certain amount of anti Climax. After a big buildup toward the Start of the voyage the ship has to turn Back and then Start All Over again. Once it is really under Way and hardships develop it is apparent that the passengers Are much too tidy Lor com fort and director and camera Man far too engrossed in get Ting pretty shots. By contrast the terror of the Mayflower inmates in the storm is a redeeming touch of realism in a movie sadly in need of this Quality.

Termites for a very tiny reason the production budget on the Tyrone Dower movie Mississippi Gambler of much bigger. The reason termites. When Mississippi Gambler was projected for production it was decided to use the studio constructed Plica of the River Craft used for showboat which univer Sal International used 18 years ago with Irene Dunne _ and Alan Jones in the leads. At the time showboat was finished the old boat was sawed up into 14 different sections and stored away in a studio warehouse where it has remained Down through the years. Workmen were sent Down to the Back lot and told to dig out the old boat. When they did so it promptly fell apart. They declare it is the first time a Steamboat has been sunk on dry land. It seems that several Hundred thousand termites had been gradually eating away the River Steamer deck by deck and Cabin by Cabin for at least 10 years. Nothing was spared not even the immense aft paddle wheel. There was nothing left to do but to build an entire new Steamer on which or. Power could carry on his card Sharp activities and Romance with leading ladies Piper Laurie and Julia Adams. Since the original showboat Cost at non inflated prices you can see where the studio bankroll was dented. And Tyrone Power lost Money too. Under his contract with uni Versal International he was Given 25 per cent of the profits in lieu of salary. This is the kind of Deal the studio has made with Gregory Peck James Stewart and other Topflight stars to lure them on the lot. This being the Case or.
