TIME
Up the River (Twentieth Century-Fox). Bill Robinson, Preston Foster, Phyllis Brooks and Arthur Treacher in an amusing remake of a 1930 comedy satirizing 1) realistic prison drama, by showing a pen-itentiary which resembles a glorified country club; 2) college sporting drama, by showing the bizarre doings of the Rockwell Prison football team.
Say It in French (Paramount). Screwball comedy raised a few notches above average by the presence in the cast of three masters of offhand humor, Olympe Bradna (Stolen Heaven), Ray Milland (Three Smart Girls), William Collier Sr. (Madison Square Garden, The Bride Comes Home).
