GOLLOB- / I s 'l- Down To The Sea Iq ’Ships (20th Century Fox) starring Mtichard Widmark,.Lionel Barry more, and Dean Stockwell (Cam pus). In Down To the Sea in Ships, 20th Century’s lusty, compelling tale of the sea and its effect on three people, baby-faced Richard Widmark doffs his perpetual leer and odious habits and don*, for the first time in his villainous screen career, morals and manners befitting any honest, honorable, brave young man. As Dan Lunceford, Boston-train ed first mate, Widmark finds him self appointed tutor for Little Jed !

Think Of This ‘‘The glowing, competent pray er of a man of character has a great dynamic,” James 5:16 (Montgomery). We Christians hear much and talk much about prayer, but most of us let the matter go. at that. The writer of this Scripture verse is talking about prayer as “dyna mite,” and that is exactly what it is. The root word iis the same for dynamite, dynamic , or power. Prayer is explosive. But the writer does not say this is true of any man’s prayer. He specifies the “man of character.” Only that man who roots his faith very firmly in the Lord has the spiritual power to iceberg colliding. Camera work throughout the film is topnotch, adding much to the film’s realistic appeal. Many of the sea scenes, although filmed in 20th Century studio sets, actually smack of the rolling, rough, dangerous deep. Casting has been handled wisely and deliberately by Hathaway, the result of which is three excellent, well-defined characterizations. Wid mark is, as always, sensational. Lionel Barrymore, for the first time since “You Can’t Take It With You” leaves his wheelchair to wear crutches and turns in one of his finest performances. Arid Dean Stpckwcll as the sea-struck grandson, aptly manages to jerk a tear now and then. !
