FILMS & PLAYERS
Myrna Loy, “perfect wife” of the screen, and Melvyn Douglas, the man who made Garbo laugh in “Ninotchka,” prove a brilliant team in “Third Finger, Left Hand,” which opens on Friday at the Regent Theatre. Miss Loy, a fashion magazine editor, invents a fictitious husband for business reasons, and Douglas, a landscape painter, arrives on the scene posing as the mythical spouse. She cannot ex-
pose her deception, so has her revenge by plunging Douglas into every comical trouble she can think of. Her at—torney, Lee Bowman, conspires to get her divorced so that he can marry her himself, and amid the laughable mixup she and Douglas suddenly discover they’ve been in love with each other all along. The supporting cast includes Donald Meek, Bonita Granville and Raymond Walburn.
