“Submarine Patrol”
The never-told-before drama of the heroic “Splinter Fleet” climaxes John Ford’s Award-winning career in “Submarine Patrol” the film Darryl F. Zanuck produced for 20th Century-Fox aud which is hailed as one of the greatest pictures' of the year. The submarine chasers are a branch of the Navy that have received comparatively little notice and yet saw some of the most exciting action of the Herat War. Manned by the strangest crews of civilian odds and ends ever to board a fighting ship, the “Splinter Fleet” provides a powerful, dramati.s theme worthy of Director Ford’s robust, forthright technique. | Richard Greene who is currently appearing in the beautiful technicolour production “Kentucky,” shares the romantic interest with Nancy Kelly the lovely newcomer to the screen, who will be seen in many forthcoming 20th Cen-tury-Fox outstanding releases. j Alexander Ivohn, of the United Press. Hollywood, comments: —“If I were King, I couldn’t command a better performance.”
