...Hangman Reinhard Heydrich by the Czecho-Slovakian underground is the springboard from which Hangmen's characters take their dives. These include a shrewd Gestapo inspector (Alexander Granach) who makes it very tough for Prague's patriotic citizens to hide Heydrich's killer, one Dr. Svoboda (Brian Donlevy); a venerable professor (Walter Brennan) who gives his life to thwart the dastardly inspector; the professor's pretty daughter (Anna Lee) who gives her reputation-to throw the inspector off the scent, she lets herself be discovered in Dr. Svoboda's bedroom by her fiancé (Dennis...
...Brian Aherne plays the part of a wisecracking murder-story writer whose pert wife, lovely Loretta Young, leads to a Greenwich Village apartment at No. 13 Gay Street. There, she hopes, he will write romantic novels. The discovery that something sinister is going an in the building, at times in their own apartment, thwarts the gay couple's literary plans, and sends them merrily-a-sleuthing. Aherne and Young, and an able supporting cast, turn in good performances, but the plot is none too exciting, and the dialogue strains for laughs. It is only average entertainment...

Hope you get that apartment by June...
Little new or revealing evidence of those ten tense years is placed before the observer; the events appear in much the same light that illumined them in 1932 or '33. The Japanese betrayal of the Kellogg-Brian compact began the downhill course. Following the Manchurian invasion, Secretary Stimson foresaw repetition of the same form of lawlessness, and American policy began to take shape. By protest and testimonial, American, and later, allied statesmen have been excoriating totalitarian aggression ever since. The rise of Hitler brought warnings from Washington, the invasion of Ethiopia drew pleas for "resumption of international responsibility...
...three stars (Charles Laughton, Brian Donlevy, Robert Taylor) who attempt to impersonate naval officers in the picture, Mr. Laughton, as an irascible old rear admiral, is the loudest and funniest. His climactic line comes when he is handed a signaled message from the destroyer just after the battle. He pauses before reading it to declaim to his fellow officers on the bridge of his flagship: "This message . . . will probably be as famous in the American Navy as Perry's 'We have met the enemy and they are ours.' . . ." The message...
