Her Jungle Love (Paramount) is a penny thriller, featuring glistening Technicolor, toothy, slithering crocodiles and Dorothy Lamour. Untutored, enticing mistress of a tropical isle, Actress Lamour croons to stranded Airman Ray Milland in beguiling gibberish, learns in record time to sing about starlight and lovelight.

Women Are Like That (Warner Bros.) dawdles drearily with the problem of getting Actor Pat O'Brien off a Scotch-&-soda diet and back into the advertising game. Droopy Actress Kay Francis models a few notable Orry-Kelly costumes, drops innumerable r's.

The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel (Alexander Korda). To save a remaining few aristocratic necks from Robespierre's guillotine, Producer Korda rounds up Sir Percy Blakeney's old crowd of counter-revolutionists, sends them out after Robespierre's own head. Famous Scarlet Pimpernel was well-schooled Actor Leslie Howard. The new one is Actor Barry Barnes, who is very British, often squeaky, and leads the cast in overacting.
