Critics See Strong Movie Potential In Mr. Roberts
The Tucson newspaper discusses the film version of Mr. Roberts directed by Mervyn LeRoy with Henry Fonda, praising its stronger characterization and opening scenes, while noting the omission of dramatic battle depictions and a VE Day radio broadcast. It also covers Tucson Little Theater disputes over Channing Smith’s dismissal and local stars visiting a restaurant linked to the film set.
