Lana Turner, who used to be satisfied with filling out sweaters, has now advanced to filling out the feminine half of co-starring teams. First she swivel-hipped around Clark Gable to turn in a goodly sum of shekels for M. G. M. in "Honky Tonk." Now she's back to play house and other things with Number 2 glamour-boy Robert Taylor in "Johnny Eager."
As in her Gable episode, the picture deals less with trying to get a story across than with furtive and somewhat successful attempts to pull the bedclothes over Will Hays' (and Lana's) eyes. Taylor tries awfully hard, which is more than can be said for Hays. He chases Lana around, in a bewildered plot which has something or other to do with a paroled convict using the District Attorney's daughter to get himself out of a jam.
It's lavish and all that, and Taylor and his partner are both very pretty. But she should have kept her sweater.
