Sneaking into this double-feature under the daze of a blue book hangover, the average fugitive from mid-terms may well confuse the second feature with the first. But confusion or not, he won't be far wrong for the runner-up in the present U.T. combo has it all over the Betty Hutton opus, despite her energetic vocalizing of "That Little Dream Got Nowhere." This little picture gets nowhere at all, and might better be called "Cross Your Heart and Hope" that the last clinch is over in short order.

"So Dark the Night" is a flicker of another shade. Though the story of a detective caught in his own investigation is pretty pale tea, the mixture becomes pretty potent with the addition of really breathtaking photography. With a choice of angles and backgrounds that highlight the action and delineate the story-line, the photographer has shown the good sense to stand where it matters most and has turned a French countryside stereotype into a visual delight. The second feature has finally had its come-uppance.
