In New Film
The shattering impact of one
reckless moment in a woman's
life has been delineated with
mounting tension and terrifying
realism in Columbia's "The Reck
less Moment," Friday at the
Watts Theatre. James Mason and
Joan Bennett are the chief pro
tagonists, with young and vi
brant Geraldine Brooks holding
j down the principal supporting
From Elisabeth Sanxay Hold
ing's “Ladies Home Journal"
story, there has been fashioned
this grippi g movie of a mother's
frenzied efforts to keep her fam
! ily together in the face of mur
der, blackmail and scandal. Max
Opuls who directed, has neatly
balanced the moments of sheer
terror against the peaceful sur
roundings of a rather ordinary
home-loving family.
The malevolent events are pie- *
cipltated when Miss Bro#ks, play
ing Miss Bennett’s impetuous
daughter, attempts to break off
an alliance with a handsome lady
killer. In a struggle, she stuns
him with a blow and he falls to
a frightful death. Miss Bennett
discovers the body and, fearful
for her daughter, dumps it in the
marshes.
Shortly after the corpse is dis-1
covered, Mason appears and at
tempts to blackmail Miss Bennett. I
using some indiscreet letters her \
daughter had written to the dead i
man. Miss Bennett, although fore-1
ed to the wall when she cannot
raise the specified amount of the
blackmail money, displays an in- :
domitable spirit which wins Mas
on's unrestrained admiration. The
wild web of violence that drew
them irresistibly together tight

red to him, as chairman. Other
members of the Board, all of Cab- I
inet rank, merely will serve in an 1
advisory capacity to him. 1
Suspicion fills the minds of June Vincent, Onslow Stevens and Ralph
Morgan in a suspenseful moment from “The Creeper,” when they
discover that several vials of priceless serum are missing from their
secret experiments in the new mystery thriller released by Twen
tieth Century-Fox and opening Saturday at the Marco Theatre,
partner, realizing the former is
softening because of his feeling
for their intended victim, decides
to take matters into his own
hands. Mason, enraged at his part
ner’s crude behavior, enrages in
a death struggle with him and
then, to deflect suspicion from
Miss Bennett, performs a last
herroic act of self-sacrfice.
Mason, as the blackmailer who
is almost redeemed by his love for
j decent woman, delivers another1
mpressrve portrayal that justifies
lis celebrated reputation as an
ictor. He skirts the pale of decent j
society, but conveys the feeling,
hat he is not an unmigitated '
•ogue. Miss Bennett, underplay
ng the moments in between her
strong emotional scenes, conveys
1 completely credible portrait of
i married woman whose life is
rlasted by one reckless moment.
Miss Brooks gives a spirited per
ormanee as the rebellious daugh- |
er. Portraying important fea
