THE VANISHING VIRGINIAN
(M.G.M.)
O far as I was concerned, and with due respect to those around me who were obviously enjoying every maudlin moment, the sooner
he vanished the better: In fact, it was a toss-up which of us vanished firstme or cap’n Bob Yancy (Frank Morgan). But I did stick it out to the saccharine end, by which time Cap’n Bob, that sturdy relic of old Virginia, had reared a typical MGM family (c.f. Judge Hardy), had buried his old darky servant ("You and me’ve been friends a long time, boss"), and had helped the cause of youth by. hanging on.to the office of District Attorney for ten terms running.
