MISS COLBERT GETS SOCKED
James Stewart clipped Claudette Colbert on her charming chin five minutes after they had met, knocks ing her cold, but only for photographis purposes, the action taking placc during their first scene together in "I'c's a Wonderful World." The sequence is one of the comedy highlights of the rollicking mystery story. Miss Colbert plays Edwina Corday, a poetess, who joins forces with Guy Johnson, a young detective, Stewart's roll, to solve a murder. When Miss Colbert's scatter-brained activities try him beyond endurance, Stewart biffs her. Stewart, who never before had socked one of his film heroines, was a bit jittery about the whole business, but Miss Colbert survived without so much as a bruise. With a cast of sterling fun-smakers which includes such favourites as Guy Kibbee, Nat Pendleton, Frances Draka, Edgar Kennedy and Ernest Truex. "It's a Wonderful World" romps its unconventional course in fast-paced action through a series of fascinating bockgrounds such as one of Manhattan's elaborate night clubs, a yacht, a theatre, auto camp, trains, motor boats, country scenes and the walls of Sing Sing.
