Rage in Heaven (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Taken from an eight-year-old novel by James Hilton, the film puts Robert Montgomery back in his English squire's tweeds as the respectable owner of a humming steel mill. Soon married to his mother's charming young companion (Ingrid Bergman), he begins to exhibit slight traces of eccentricity- an inordinate jealousy of his best friend (George Sanders), a shivering horror of the moon, a tormenting fear complex. But it is never brash. As he hesitatingly proposes to Miss Bergman in the warm evening under the oaks of his estate...

At week's end, Judge Biggs took the case under advisement, started combing out the kinks...
Come Live With Me (Metro-GoId-wyn-Mayer) is a farfetched, whimsical comedy about a struggling young author (James Stewart) who marries a Viennese refugee (Hedy Lamarr) to save her from deportation. Complication: the man Wife Lamarr really wants to marry is a publisher (Ian Hunter) who buys Husband Stewart's book. It is no surprise to anybody when, after making off with Hedy, Husband Stewart persuades her to change her mind...
