Show BY INEZ GERHARD TT IS QUITE POSSIBLE that "The Heiress" will bring Paramount another Academy ' Award; if it does, most of the credit should go to William Wyler, who directed and produced it. Olivia de Havilland and Ralph Richardson, seen as an awkward, shy, unattractive daughter daugh-ter and her bully of a father, give OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND superb performance. As a suitor anxious to marry the girl for her money, Montgomery Clift is less satisfactory. Mirim Hopkins is excellent ex-cellent as the girl's aunt; in fact, the entire supporting cast deserves praise. "The Heiress" is even better as a picture than it was as" a successful suc-cessful play and William Wyler is largely responsible. The Farfa concentration camp sequences of "Stromboli," which Producer-Director Hossellini had been holding personally, have finally fi-nally been turned over to the Tech-nostampa Tech-nostampa Laboratory in Rome. This makes the entire footage of the film available to RKO so it won't be too long now till we see Ingrid Bergman in what she says will be her last picture. V After playing golf left-handed for 10 years and reaching a two handicap, handi-cap, Ken Carson, of the Garry Moore show, has turned right-handed, right-handed, on the advice of Pro Harry Har-ry Cooper. Cooper says Ben Hogan did it why not Carson? Wearing a black wig, Bette Davis sneers and snarls her way through "Beyond the Forest," For-est," the rather tiresome story of a small-town girl who was willing to commit murder to get to Chicago. Miss Davis likes to play wicked women, but she should not have chosen this one. Joseph Cotton and David Brian do what they can to Improve matters, but the picture is not good. ' Rudd Weatherwax, owner and trainer of Lassie, has had to hire a new secretary just to handle the fan mail sent to the collie by fans of her NBC Saturday radio series. Much of it comes from children, and it comes by the bushel. Ed "Archie" Gardner is a disappointment dis-appointment to his son, Ed. Jr. The five-year-old, who has the handsomest cowboy outfit in New York's Central Park, wishes his father had become somebody dashing, dash-ing, like the Lone Ranger. Both Mike Romanoff and his famous Beverly Hills restaurant have been signed for top roles in "A Lovely Place," which Humphrey Humph-rey Bogart will make for Columbia. This is the first time the well known tavern has been shown in a picture in great detail. Since much of the film's action takes place there it was decided to use th restaurant itself rather than build a replica. |
