Captain Blood (Warner) seems to be Warner's answer to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Mutiny on the Bounty. Whatever the literary merits of Rafael Sabatini's florid novels, they make excellent cinema fare when served with the crispness and gusto of Captain Blood...
Whipsaw (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) embodies the ultimate variations in what can be done with a G-man (Spencer Tracy) keeping tabs on a girl (Myrna Loy) with whom he falls in love. She has the Koronoff pearls in the handle of the mirror of her dressing-case set, but does not know it. They have been planted there by one of two gangs of thieves competing for them. Including scenes in London, New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and New Orleans the double-headed chase goes rollicking along in steamboats, planes and hired automobiles...

Or are we to consider the gross violations of the Olympic Code contained in the cases of Dr. Prenn, the tennis player, Beelig, the boxer and Nathan, the long distance runner, to name but a few who have been denied access...
