John Fitzgerald reviews: "Serenade" starring Mario Lanza and Joan Fontaine. "The Ambassador's Daughter" starring Olivia De Havilland, John Forsythe and Myrna Loy. "The Unguarded Moment" starring Esther Williams and George Nailer. Fitzgerald comments 'its greatest merit is Esther Williams, a bit over dressed for Esther I'm afraid she never once exhibits her remarkable ability to wear swimsuits but she makes up for it with a well considered acting performance'.
