Jeannie (1941)
“This is a pleasant enough film, with some clever acting in it. Michael Redgrave is good, as usual, and Albert Lieven makes a brilliant character study of the selfish, decayed aristocrat.” –

“For anyone who wants the ne plus ultra of sadism, bully-worship, gun-play, socks on the jaw and gangster atmosphere generally, this film is the goods.” –

“In spite of adequate acting and a good central idea, the sentiment of this film is so palpably false as to make its dénouement almost unbearable.” –

Moon Over Burma (1940)

“There seems no very good reason why the setting should be Burma, unless it is that the elephant and the cobra which appear in the film needed employment.” –

Western Union (1941)
75%
“None of the acting is definitely bad, but Randolph Scott, as the Bad Man who turns over a new leaf but afterwards rides away to a romantic death and leaves the woman he loves to a man who is worthier of her, gives the outstanding performance of the film.” –

Atlantic Ferry (1941)
“The film contains several flashes of visual imaginativeness. The best of these is a scene in which the sailors from two rival ships are fighting over a consignment of luggage. It is a remarkable piece of photography, with some of the quality of a ballet,” –

Nice Girl? (1941)

“On the whole, this is a light and amusing film and the acting is quite adequate to it. Miss Durbin sings charmingly when she is given something worth singing. Mr Benchley gives a good performance.” –

Bitter Sweet (1940)
“This third version which retains none of the atmosphere of the original play and has altered its plot to the point of making it meaningless.” –

Escape to Glory (1940)
“Escape to Glory is lively and well worth seeing. The scene inside a submarine is coming to be a stereotype -- I have watched it at least four times within the past year -- but the sea battle is really vivid and exciting.” –

Dulcy (1940)
