...this too familiar track, the movie nevertheless shows fairly good form. Avoiding the handicap of a love story, Producer-Scripter Milton Holmes has sparked the film with well-shot racing scenes, and given it some seemingly authentic paddock lore and lingo. Though somewhat young for his role, Actor Holden plays it with his usual skill, and Boots Malone also benefits from an earnest performance-his first in movies-by Broadway's 15-year-old Johnny (The King and I) Stewart...
...front on a disreputable past; a salty New Englander (Hope Emerson), who spouts seafaring lingo; a frail, pregnant schoolteacher (Beverly Dennis); a muleskinning crack shot (Lenore Lonergan); an Italian immigrant (Renata Vanni) with a nine-year-old boy. In the tradition of Frank Capra, who supplied the story for Scripter Charles Schnee, Westward the Women deploys its ample stock company and wealth of incident in a highly artificial pattern designed for a maximum of humor, pathos, action and romance.

Divorced. Clifford Odets, 45, Broadway playwright (Awake and Sing!, Waiting for Lefty, Golden Boy) and Hollywood scripter (None But the Lonely Heart); by Bette Grayson Odets, 32, his second wife (his first: Actress Luise Rainer); after eight years of marriage, two children; in Reno...
...theory that Granger plans to sell the real painting himself. Ultimately, after each double-cross has been doubled and redoubled, Scoundrel Granger is regenerated by the love of a good woman-the kind of feat that angelic Actress Angeli may be forever destined by Hollywood to perform. Ironically, Scripter-Director Richard Brooks is the author of a current novel (The Producer) in which a moviemaker grapples with a front-office demand for an ending that wrenches the hero out of character. Brooks's own movie is a stock item too artificial to pose this issue as a problem...
