My Dear Secretary (United Artists] is a disjointed little charade for which Writer-Director Charles Martin will have to take most of the blame. A successful novelist (Kirk Douglas) marries his secretary (Laraine Day). Then the secretary proves to be a better novelist than her husband, and the husband becomes her secretary. At about this point, the actors appear to falter and look straight at the camera, as if pleading for mercy. But Writer-Director Martin is merciless--with both players and audience. The unhappy cast includes Rudy Vallee, Keenan Wynn, Helen Walker and Florence Bates.
The Return of October (Columbia) stirs up an enormous to-do among a number of people who suspect that a Technicolored horse (October) is the reincarnation of Uncle Willie (James Gleason). The story is also the reincarnation of all race horse movies. Horse wins race, girl collects money, boy collects both girl and money--after a few heartbreaking spats. The plot is so complicated that anyone arriving in the middle may never catch up, a misfortune which also happens to its stars, Glenn Ford and Terry Moore.
