Rating:
Another Western with plenty of abooting is now at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres. It is "The Outriders" and stars Joel McCrea and Arlene Dahl.
The film's setting is very good, while the acting by such lumber-faced clars
Mr.
McCrea and Barry Sullivan is pannable. As for the feminine lead, we've always been partial towards Miss Dahl.
Filmed in Technicolor against the mountain and canyon set- ings of Utah, here is the story of three Yankees who escape from a Missouri prison stockade during the Civil War.

McCrea,
Barry Sullivan and James Whitmore form the oddly assorted trio
who moko their escape only to find them- Felves

In exchange for their lives they herce to head for Santa Fe, New Mexico, to become instruments in plan to ambush a wagon train carrying a million dollars in gold bullion for the Federal Treasury an S1. Louis.

good suspense film
Bating: ★★
As a man of ungovernable temper, given to swift and violent ragos, Humphrey Bogart currently ́is starrod in an unusual picture. The film is "In a Lonely Place," now at the Loo, with Gloria Grahame as the girl who tries to sub- due the untamed and untameable Bogart. Based upon a mystery novel by Dorothy B. Hughes, the new Bogart picture is essentially a story of suspicion and suspense. As a Hollywood writer who is the last known person to see a murder victim alive, Bogart is faced by an in- creasing tension, a growing suspicion.
the
In vivid contrast darkening world created by that suspicion is his delight n the glowing presence of an attractive young actress. Miss Grahame,
as the actress, is the girl who first clears the writer with the rolice; later, when their romance flourishes, she falls prey to tor- menting doubts and questions.
As the embittered, embattled
writer, Bogart imbues bie per- formance with tout reallem.
