Men Are Such Fools (Warner Bros.): Wayne Morris, Priscilla Lane, Humphrey Bogart. Mona Barrie and Hugh Herbert in a feverish little study of love among junior advertising executives.
Three Blind Mice (Twentieth Century-Fox). Pamela Charters (Loretta Young), fresh from a Kansas chicken farm, accompanied by her two sisters disguised as maid and secretary, arrives in California’s Santa Barbara to invest $5,000 in the search for a rich suitor. Her sisters eventually make advantageous marriages while Pamela picks a well-bred pauper (Joel McCrea). William Seiter’s direction and three particularly pleasant performances—by David Niven, as an irresponsible young rancher, Binnie Barnes as his even more irresponsible sister, and Stuart Erwin, as a realistic waiter—help lift the picture well out of the class of animated travel advertising.
