Alan Young, Dinah Shore, Adele Jergens, Robert Merrill, Minerva Urecal, Veda Ann Borg. Innocuous musical of dreamy farm widow Shore, obsessed with moving to the city; she's courted by shy-bumpkin neighbor Young, and is taken by on-the-lam crooks Merrill and Jergens. Based on a 1919 playand it shows. Unmemorable score. Film debut of opera star Merrill. Abandoned (1949) 79m. ½ D: Joe Newman. Dennis O'Keefe, Gale Storm, Jeff Chandler, Raymond Burr, Marjorie Rambeau, Will Kuluva, Meg Randall, Mike Mazurki, Jeanette Nolan.

Unimaginative vehicle has Bud and Lou sailing through space with escaped gangsters, landing on Venus, a planet populated with scantily clad women. Look quickly for Anita Ekberg. Abbott and Costello in Hollywood (1945) 83m. D: S. Sylvan Simon. Frances Rafferty, Robert Stanton, Jean Porter, Warner Anderson, Dean Stockwell. Uneven comedy with A&C as barber and porter in Tinseltown. A few peeks behind the scenes at MGM with Rags Ragland, Lucille Ball, Preston Foster, Butch Jenkins, and director Robert Z. Leonard. Officially titled BUD ABBOTT AND LOU COSTELLO IN HOLLYWOOD. Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) 80m. D: Charles Lamont. Patricia Medina, Walter Slezak, Douglass Dumbrille.

Charles Laughton, Hillary Brooke, Fran Warren, Bill Shirley, Leif Erickson. Middling pirate spoof with too many lousy...
