WHEN YOU SEE the film
slogan “Movies are better than ever’—you can almost
depend on one thing—it doesn't mean American movies. A majority of the best movies to pass through Indianapolis re_cently have been of the so-called “art” variety. Actually, most of them aren’t so much art as good acting, directing and story-writ-ing on the part of the British, French, Italian and what-have-You film companies. The trouble seems to lie in the fact that American movie-mak-ers are more interested in the money end of the business than they are in pleasing the public. Insiders claim that things are changing — and movie fans can only hope it's true. ~ 2 » Opening Friday at Loew's is “Carbine Williams,” starring Jimmy Stewart, Jean Hager and Wendell Corey. “Flesh and Fury,” Circle, Wednesday, features Tony Curtis, Jan Sterling and Mona Freeman. Stanley Holloway brings his comic ability to “Mr. Lord Says No!” Tuesday at the Ritz. The Times preview of the week is “Brave Warrior,” Lyric, Wednesday. Jeff Chandler, Alex Nicol and Charles Drake star in “Red Ball Express” at the Indiana, Thursday. Next attraction at the Esquire is “My Son, My Son,” starring Madeleine Carroll and Louis Hayward.
Moonshining Inventor | “Carbine Williams” was inspired by the life and career of David Marshall Williams who was instrumental inp the invention of the U. 8S. Army carbine. He built his first rifie, which was to revolutionize gun-making, while serving a sentence for second degree murder in a Southern prison. Mr. Williams personally acted as technical adviser during the filming which sticks fairly close to the actual story.
He Says No
“Mr. Lord Says No!” is the tale of one small middle-bracket family that seems to have the situation well in hand against the mighty British government.
It all starts when Henry Lord, who gives him his first taste of the international battle.

bureaucratic “do’s” and “don’ts.” Actually, it is a one-family revolution and it brings surprising results to Mr. and Mrs, Lord, representatives of the common people, defenders of a man’s right to his privacy and his property and a big cheer for a way of life that has made us what we are today. Stanley Holloway as Mr. Lord, will be remembered for his role of gravedigger in Laurence Olivier's “Hamlet” and the part -of cohort to Alec Guiness in “Lavender Hill Mob,”

Top Priority
“Red Ball Express” is the saga
II unit of the Army Transportation Corps which rushed supplies and badly needed ammunition to General Patton's army during a front line breakthrough. “Red Ball” in railroad jargon means top priority freight. The story opens when a young 1st lieutenant is assigned to organize a group of former truck drivers and “red ball” a fleet of trucks through the front lines into yerman-occupied territory where General Patton's tanks are bogged down due to lack of fuel. To add complications other than the war to the film, the sergeant in the group turns out to be a bitter enemy of the lieutenant and the two men carry on their own private war in ti.. midst of
