TAKE ONE FALSE STEP
(Universal-International) HAVE had a long and pleasant acquaintance with William Powell, going back to the days (pre-Myrna Loy) when he usually figured as a suave and slim plainclothes man who always kept his hat on, and who affected the du Maurier trick of carrying cigarettes loose in his jacket pocket. Time (it must be fifteen years or more since those days) has robbed him of his slimness but the old suavity and polish are still apparent in this latest pot-boiler. Without them, indeed, there would be precious little to it. However, it does give one a glimpse of the occupational hazards which beset the U.S. college professor. Df these, Miss Shelley Winters is, I would wager, easily the most hazardous.
