The Southerner (1945) 92% EDIT “While the picture owes its basic design to Mr. Caldwell's play, the forces arrayed against its hero are not an exhausted soil or the irresistible invasion of money and machinery or even hereditary debility. It is much simpler and more exciting than that.” – The New Yorker Oct 16, 2021 Full Review Murder, He Says (1945) EDIT “Though essentially a demonstration of how cleverly thirty minutes of entertainment can be stretched out into ninety minutes of tedium, just by repeating everything three times, the picture was rather better than most of its species.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Conflict (1945) 71% EDIT “[A] specimen of how childishly a scenarist can write and still get his two thousand dollars a week, and how badly an excellent actor can look when asked to do nothing for approximately ninety minutes but maintain an expression of sullen imbecility.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review It's in the Bag (1945) EDIT “It's in the Bag is one of those pictures in which a number of reasonably celebrated comedians flicker in and out, doing their best to assist the star in what is best described as a plot of convenience.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review The Body Snatcher (1945) 86% EDIT “A horror item considerably better than most.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Wonder Man (1945) 100% EDIT “Given adequate material, Danny Kaye is one of the most versatile and generally satisfactory comedians on the screen. This he gets in Wonder Man.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review The Way Ahead (1944) 100% EDIT “Its great virtue is that it is written about a group of quite commonplace men who have to endure the dirty, tiresome, and murderous business of war as best they can rather than about the picturesque band of heroes usually dispatched from Hollywood.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Where Do We Go From Here? (1945) EDIT “Just about as childish as they come.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review EDIT “It is a good deal more exciting and literate than most of its kind, and I think it ought to make you reasonably happy.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Counter-Attack (1945) EDIT “John Howard Lawson seems to have made some changes from the original [play] as I remember it, but they are not in the nature of improvements, and the piece remains essentially a very heavy dose of Soviet propaganda.” – The New Yorker Oct 15, 2021 Full Review
