...principles" have, it must be said, gotten intensive consideration from some areas. From North Carolina, Chicago, and especially Los Angeles (birthplace of dianetics) have come more reports of hypnotically inspired revelations of previous existences. While the west coast has been enlivened by an outbreak of parapsychological parties (with invitations reading, "Come as you were."), Broadway too has taken...
...Blandings, Carey Grant spends most of his time looking dire, and he is an old hand at it. Few actors, probably, have gotten as many laughs out of standing in front of a mirror and trying to shave.

...brothers snarl their dislike of each other, but for propriety's sake, Gotten agrees to let Van stick around in disguise until the river subsides. But now the emotional tides begin rising.

When he pulls into his garage he finds it already occupied by his brother, Van Johnson, who has broken out of prison back East and is trying to make it across...
...posse and bloodhounds set out after Van, Gotten has a change of heart and a bad attack of delayed brotherly love. Having, apparently, a keener nose than any bloodhound, he goes directly to Van's hideout. They indulge in some unnecessarily foolish heroics by crossing and recrossing the raging river, and the film ends with Gotten in his wife's arms and Van going cheerfully back to prison to serve out his term...
