"I Take This Woman"--and who wouldn't? But it is a bit more difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for the picture itself. The story revolves about the eternal "eternal triangle" which is not handled with enough verve to justify its lack of originality. The lady is in love, is jilted, marries on the rebound, and unfortunately finds herself still in love with the wrong man. The trite plot is not helped much by the dialogue. There are frequent scenes in which one seriously suspects that Miss Lamarr will, at any moment, be tied to the railroad tracks, but fortunately there are others (not so frequent) which reminds one of Clare Booth at her nastiest best. Spencer Tracy is definitely out of place. He is aphoristic, as usual, but he is convincingly so in a steaming jungle not in an expensive night club. Miss Lamarr is esentially decorative although her acting shows improvement. Veree Teasdale is the saving grace of the movie, as a superficial, clever sophisticate she is liltingly superb.
Chin-rubbing Wally Berry appears in "The Man From Dakota" as co-feature. For those who are fond of Mr. Berry and his chin-rubbing, this will prove moderately enjoyable. Delores del Rio is also in the picture.
