Rhubarb (1951)
7/10
One for baseball fans! (You heard me!)

Somewhat disappointing. I felt that Dorothy Reid (no relation) and Francis Cockrell could have made something more of the potentially risible situation they concocted around the premise of a millionaire leaving his entire fortune to a cat! Instead, what we have here is a rehash of all the well-used themes in your typical baseball picture. Mind you, it still has its amusing moments and it is adequately directed by journeyman Arthur Lubin.

On the other hand, the photographer seems to have no idea how to photograph Ray Milland to advantage. Ray actually looked much better in real life than he does in this movie! But on yet the other hand, the not exactly well-known Van Cleave has contributed a very clever music score.
