RKO ( ) 92 Minutes Rel. Nov. 14, '52
Following the general pattern of "Quartet," "Encore' and
"O. Henry's Full House," this Huntington Hartford production
is a duo-drama made up of two unrelated stories with
different casts and directors. RKO is permitting exhibitors to
play the picture as a whole or as two separate short films.
The first, Joseph Conrad's "The Secret Sharer," stars James
Mason and has better name value, although it is essentially
a grim tale of an escaped murderer and a sea captain
making his first voyage. The second is Stephen Crane's
"The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," an entertaining western
yarn dealing with a peaceful town and its one unregenerate
character, a drunken old bad man who goes on an occasional
rampage. Minor Watson is a delight as the grizzled gunman
and Robert Preston and Marjorie Steele capably play the
sheriff and his timid young bride. Directed by John Brahm
and Brelaigne Windust.
James Mason, Robert Preston, Gene Lockhart, Marjorie Steele,
Minor Watson, Michael Pate, Olive Carey, Albert Sharpe.
