Everything Happens at Night (20th Century-Fox) continues prudent but sofar rather unproductive efforts to turn Sonja Henie into a dramaticactress against the day when even Henie fans may tire of seeing Henieskate. Surrounded by a capable cast (Maurice Moscovich, RobertCummings, Ray Milland), in a trite little, tight little tale, this timeSonja Henie skates only once, and though she is a competent skier, longshots of her skiing were done by a double. But whether she is glidingbackwards or forwards, or skating rings around Greek columns to thestrains of The Blue Danube, Sonja Henie on blades is still the bestpart of one of her pictures.
Entente Cordiale (Max Glass) was probably intended as French propagandafor home consumption on the present Anglo-French alliance. In itroyally whiskered King Edward VII (Victor Francen) faces a crisis inaffairs with France, a leisurely episode which leaves the generalimpression that European crises were comparatively homey affairs 30years ago.
