SHE COULDN'T TAKE IT
"Check "She Couldn't Take It" 2.S a pleture you most definitely must see..
A slightly wild audience roared its unreserved approval of this new George Raft-Joan Bennett comedy opus at its opening per- formance yesterday at the Star Theatre. It is our guess that you' will add your plaudits to theirs.
The versatile Columbia Studios produced "She Couldn't Take It" as a companion piece to their two other recent hits. "It Happened One Night" and "She Marred Her Boss." Let it be said that this latest film is in every way, as well written, well-acted, well-directed and well-mounted AN Its two memorable predecessors.
Tay Garnett Is responsible for the lively direction of the spark- ling script prepared by Oliver H P. Garrett from an original story by
Gene Towne and Grazħam Baker. The dialogue glows with good cheer and spontaneous wit the situations are cleverly con- trived and interpreted with an adroitly blended sense of comedy and exciting drama.
George Raft plays an.. ex-big- shot racketeer who, on his release from prison, finds himself sale trustee and guardian of the “Mad Van Dykes," so named because of their front page escapades. The Jovels, tantalizing Joan Bennett is the wildest of the dan, a spitfire
Park Avenue deb who refuses to submit to the humiliating dicta- tion of the handsome Raft. It finally resolves itself into a battle of wits between the girl and the
fun and man, with the
thrills tempered by а blossoming 10- mance.
George Raft and Joan Bennett as a screen team are a revelation and a delight. Their" boisterous anties will keep you howling with glee their hearty, belated romance will have you sighing with sympathy.
