LIVING IN A BIG WAY
(M.-G.-M.) HIS story, of how four out of New York’s Four Hundred go slumming among the city’s ex-servicemen, is remarkable mainly for its social unconsciousness. Gene Kelly, who is most deeply. involved in the plot, can’t act, but he might prove himself the poor man’s Fred Astaire if his choreographer knew his job. The occasional danceroutines, however, are painfully humdrum, with the exception of one in which ,a shaggy dog takes part, If you are a * dog-lover you will enjoy this independent animal’s performance-and as it comes fairly early in the picture you can still escape with your love of humanity more or less unimpaired.
