About Face

WILLIAM TRACY and JOE SAWYER share the spotlight again in the third, and one of the weakest entries, in the Sgt. Dodo Doubleday series about the man with the photographic memory who gets into all kinds of scrapes with his army buddies.

This time he crashes a ritzy party sponsored by MARGARET DUMONT (in uniform) but the story doesn't really get into gear until the rowdy date that Sawyer has with VEDA ANN BORG ends up with a free-for-all smashing of cars and car parts while irate car rental owner (CHARLES LANE) looks on adding up the insurance damage.

It's good to see FRANK FAYLEN and WILLIAM DRESSEL back as bartenders this time, but nothing saves the picture from being one of the weaker programmers featuring Tracy in his Doubleday role. JEAN PORTER adds her own brand of flirtatious and dance crazy teen-ager to the proceedings. Forgettable stuff.
