The Baroness and the Butler (Twentieth Century-Fox) whips up a froth of excitement out of the eggy idea that a butler may have political theories as well as a desire for the boss's daughter. Based on Ladislaus Bus-Fekete's wishy-washy comedy of Flungarian manners. The Lady Has a Heart (TIME, Oct. 4), it is Hollywood's first attempt to stereotype blonde, personably gamine French Actress Annabella. Annabella (real name: Suzanne Charpentier) was first noticed by U. S. cinemaudiences in 1931 in French Director Rene CLair's Le Million. Her first English-speaking picture was British made Wings of the Morning (TIME, March 1).
The Big Broadcast of 1938 (Paramount) is the annual Paramount song & dance, staged this year on a fancily streamlined ocean liner with raucous, red-nosed W. C. Fields giving the orders. Shipshape when Great Man Fields is on deck, it lists badly whenever he goes below.
