The Moviegoer

At the University

She is not Hedy Lamarr. She is not Greta Garbo. She is not even Ann Sheridan. She is just Deanna Durbin, the kind of a girl you would like to have a little later on. But just the same, if you haven't absorbed too much ultra sophistication from the ancient halls of Harvard, you will enjoy "Three Smart Girls Grow Up." There is a script that is always bright and sometimes scintillates. There are some delightful scenes in the parlor where Deanna tries to straighten out her sisters' love affairs. There is some superlative humor contributed by the absent minded Charles Winninger. There is some simple, tuneful music, and there isn't much sentimentality. Above all there is a refreshing sincerity about the whole thing. All in all it makes for ideal feather-weight entertainment.
