DAISY KENYON
(20th Century-Fox) AISY KENYON is a tiresomely loquacious account of wild life in the penthouse sector, in which Joan Crawford spends most of her time trying to choose between the wistful charms of Staff-Sergeant Henry Fonda (who has no money, but a poet’s soul) and the more highly developed animal magnetism of Dana Andrews (who has a sizeable bankroll and apparently no soul at all). ‘-The fact that Mr. Andrews also has a wife and two small daughters who suffer a good deal because of his neglect does not seem to disturb anyone except the wife-though it may cause some concern to those filmgoers whose conception of morality is a little miore oldfashioned. The dialogue of Daisy Kenyon is as meretricious as the story and the soundtrack is cluttered up with pretentious humbug.
