Sothern Comfort

Piffle about a carny girl who pretends to be Norwegian in order to win a movie contract, and falls in love with her director. Not much, but at slightly over an hour it certainly doesn't wear out its welcome, and that hour includes several renditions of the altogether lovely Arlen-Koehler title song. The other asset: Ann Sothern, getting her first real movie chance to flaunt her comedic talents. She's pretty and ebullient, and her natural high spirits offset her co-star's smarminess. Tala Birell is also fun as a screaming diva, and Gregory Ratoff does a very early warmup of his "All About Eve" role. A very pleasant way to kill 67 minutes.
