Ginger Rogers and Morgan In Film It's a safe wager that not many j moviegoer s know what goes on j among tne 12 people of a jury j thrown together b.y the law for a lenghty murder trial. Well they’ll soon see when “Perfect Strang ers," the long-awaited Warner Bros, comedy drama starring Gin ger Rogers and Dennis Morgan, comes into the Viccar Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. That these two ‘perfect strang ers’ fall in love is a foregone con clusion, the situation of two at- j tractive people side by side for I so many weeks proving too much ■ for their romantic imaginations. I But how their romance plays a big part in arriving at a verdict in the actual trial is something I most legal minds would rather not contemplate. Amusing complications which result from such a situation are made to order for the two stars who a number of years back I scored such personal triumphs in “Kitty Foyle," the film which brought (linger an Academy A ward also served to bring Mor gan to the first rank of Holly wood stars The film also fea tures Margate Gillmore, one of Broadway’s leading stars On trial for murder in "Per fect Strangers” is a man ac cused uf doing away with his wife in order to marry his secre tary. With the jury close to a verdict of guilty, it is Ginger who demonstrates by revealing her own feeling for a fellow juryman that it is possible to fall in love with another per son while still married, and that it is not necessarily a criminal thing. Which may be something for, judges and psychiatrists to figure out, but in "Perfect Strangers” it simply results in a highly absorbing situation for a motion picture.
