Practically Yours (1944)
An American hero faces marriage when a former co-worker hears his recorded message of love for his dog and thinks it was meant for her.
From memory: Likeable, but rather mediocre romantic comedy, although the two stars are always a joy to watch.
Halliwell (no star): "Silly romantic comedy which never gets going."
Maltin**: "Star's expertise redeems contrived story..."

Destination Moon (1950)
A team composed of an aerospace scientist, an ex-Air Force general and an industrialist conceive an ambitious plan to land Americans on the moon.
Excellently produced sci-fi advaenture with good effects and amazing scientific accuracy in almost all details; interesting, but not quite exciting.
Halliwell*: "Semi-documentary prophecy with impressive gadgetry encased in a tedious and totally unsuprising script."
Maltin**1/2: "One of the pioneer sci-fi films about the first manned mission to the moon, modestly mounted but still effective. Striking lunar paintings by Chelsey Bonestell."
