'Til We Meet Again (Warner) is a re-titling of a remake of One Way Passage, Warner's 1932 tear jerker, in which Kay Francis was an ailing beauty whose serious heart condition was aggravated by a first-glance passion for an escaped murderer (William Powell). This time the tragedy of hapless love is played out against the heartless magnificence of a trans-Pacific luxury liner every throb of whose propeller carries George Brent nearer death by hanging, Merle Oberon nearer death from angina pectoris. Cinemactress Oberon spends much of her allotted time philosophizing about eternity. When not listening, George Brent spends his time trying to make a getaway with the help of Binnie Barnes. Pat O'Brien (a detective) makes tough faces, Frank McHugh makes funny faces. In a minor part (bright, solicitous Bonnie), Geraldine Fitzgerald looks very pretty, acts very well.

The Dark Command (Republic) continues Hollywood's efforts to vary the pattern of its western thrillers by substituting the American Civil War for Indian raids. Last installment was Warner's Virginia City. This one takes place in Lawrence, Kans., circa 1860, spectacularly chronicles the misdeeds of Outlaw Quantrell, Kansas' Civil War guerrilla, here thinly disguised as Outlaw Cantrell (Walter Pidgeon). Thrilling shot: the wagon, in which Claire Trevor, Roy Rogers and John Wayne are escaping the bad man, hurtling at breakneck speed off a high Kansas cliff.
