Show "Typhoon Hits" And It Packs A Real Wallop Audience acclaim will again peak like a '2 9 graph when "Typhoon," "Ty-phoon," in full technicolor and Dorothy Lamour in less than ever, opens at the Rivoli theatre Friday night. This South Sea romance roared in with a storm and a shipwreck that maroons little Dorothy on an uninhabited island, far fVom normal nor-mal sea lanes. Scenes switch to a nearby island, ten years later, and to Robert Preston, derelict sailor who was discharged from Annapolis. An-napolis. Preston's life is saved, when his friend, Lynn Overman, shanghais him aboard Ills pearl-hunting submarine sub-marine after a barroom brawl with a Polynesian chief. Forced to flee the chief's vengeance, they put to sea, but must abandon ship on Dorothy's lonely Eden for lack of oil. Preston, away from his party, is overcome with heat, and literally literal-ly captured by Dorothy Lamour and her female chimpanzee, Koko. The thrilling love story mounts hand in hand with suspense, as J. Carrol Naish leads a mutiny, and as the pursuing chief discovers dis-covers the sailor's hideaway. Climactically, the terrifying typhoon ty-phoon follows a ranging jungle fire. You'll grip your seat when this devastating fury boils in, when while palm trees are uprooted, uproot-ed, and go hurtling with the gale before your eyes. Following that is the terrific tidal wave, that swamps the entire island! You'll enjoy the beauty and terror, the brevity of Dotty's costume, cos-tume, the antics of Koko and the humor of Lynne Overman. |
