To the gooey molasses of the Jeanette MacDonald - Nelson Eddy team Dorothy Parker's script has added just enough vinegar to make "Sweethearts" a fairly enjoyable picture. The more cynical element in American movie audiences will be astonished to find that with good direction, a good script and a good supporting cast, the MacDonald - Eddy team can put on a fine show. Of course there're the customary shots of Nelson Eddy in a soldier's uniform and Jeanette MacDonald's exotic larynx, but underneath it all is a subdued smirk. At last Hollywood is beginning to realize that the Great American Public can't live on molasses all the time, even with Miss MacDonald and Mr. Eddy.

"While New York Sleeps" (and the audience takes a few cat-naps too)--is a tawdry murder story hot off the Hollywood assembly line. Ford can do it but Hollywood can't.
