THE GIRL FROM MANHATTAN
(United Artists) HE happiness of half-a-dozen eccentrics in a boarding house is endangered by an unscrupulous mortgagee who wants to pull the place down and build a church there (so that he can build a hotel on the old church site after he has pulled it down too). So George Montgomery and Dorothy Lamour, both thoroughly unhappy as the helpful clergyman and his girl-friend, manage to bring the villain to justice and satisfy their love for old architecture at the same time. Although he doesn’t look particularly happy éither, Charles Laughton as the bishop is the only bright spot in an otherwise dull piece of work.
