They Met on Skis (C. L Import Corp.) is this winter's skiing film and was shot by Austrian Producer Henri Sokal whose Slalom and Ski Chase were the ski films of previous winters. Filmed in the fall of 1939 in the French and Swiss Alps, it is loaded with clear, fast shots of some of the world's finest skiers--the women's team of the Paris Ski Club, French International Racing Champion Louis Agnel--careening down mountainsides, whizzing through the frosty air. A silly boy-girl-mortgage plot clumps knee-deep through the snow scenes, but persevering wintersports addicts should sit it out for the spectacular views of ski experts running through their fanciest paces.

Little Men (R. K. O. Radio, is the third cinema which harum-scarum Scenarists Gene Towne and Graham Baker have put out on their own. A "streamlined film version" of Louisa May Alcott's novel about life at the Plumfield Farm Boarding School in the late 19th Century, the Polly -androus story would hardly be recognized by Louisa May. Most intrusive revision: the addition of a pair of slick sharpers called Major Burdle (George Bancroft) and Willie the Fox (Jack Oakie). A period piece as heavy as a Victorian sideboard, the picture is lit up, as by an occasional gas jet, by Oakie's robust mugging.
