I TAKE THIS WOMAN: And who wouldn't? Despite frequent scenes in which Hedy Lamarr seems about to be tied to the railroad tracks, this particular treatment of the eternal "eternal triangle" provides fair entertainment. Spencer Tracy, shuttling from a steaming jungle to an expensive night club, is as painfully high-minded as usual, but manages to look at home in both places. Verree Teasdale, as a clever, shallow sophisticate, is the saving grace of the acting in this film. But still, Lamarr, lamerrier.

BLONDIE ON A BUDGET: The Blondie series is a classic of Americana, ringing absolutely the correct not in its portrayal of everyday citizens. The films are all about the same, and all good. Sometimes the plots are too ambitious, involving the elaborate business deals of J.C. Dithers, Dagwood's boss, with Blondie always saving the day. That is the main trouble with this installment. But in the treatment of detail and atmosphere, it is like all the rest, superb. Art critics seeking modern American genre are missing a promising field if they do not consider this unpretentious product of Hollywood.
