Fairy tale characters Alice (through The Looking Glass), Snow White, Red Riding Hood & Sleeping Beauty are butt kicking girl bosses who work for A group that tries to keep fairy tale characters from destroying the world....
Magda, queen of Atlantis has followed an escaped Prince Charming to the modern world, sends fish men to destroy the city, and manages to send the girls back to fairy tale land, from which they must escape & stop Magda from marrying Prince Charming...

Pretty fast paced action comedy....
The first half feels pretty convoluted & confusing, but starts to make sense after a while...
Sorta plays out like an unsold television pilot...

The Long Night (1947) - Henry Fonda is a working class shlub who gets involved in a battle of wits with evil stage magician Vincent Price over a girl. I really liked Vincent Price here. It's earlier than most of his more well known stuff and the character is more noir-ishly sinister. On the whole, it's more of a noir-tinged drama though. Fonda is a great actor but he isn't really "of the night". decent budget, memorable cinematography it's just a little slower than, say, Ace in the Hole (1951). I don't think I'd watch it again

4.25 /5

Ann Dvorack as his magician's assistant is not really my jawn. The love triangle girl is much cuter

THE LONG NIGHT (1947):
The world is certainly big enough for Lester and I to never fight over the same dame! I only came to LONG NIGHT for Ann Dvorak, as a hardcore Dvorak stan since o.g. SCARFACE. Even 15 years later Dvorak has a killer set of legs and a great personality, and as an actress in her mid-30s    I guess she was pretty lucky to even pull a role this good in a semi-serious flick where she's in a bizarre love quadrangle with big star Henry Fonda, popular 40s character actor Vincent Price, and young thang Barbara Bel Geddes.  If that romantic scenario doesn't make much sense to you - well - this entire movie doesn't make any sense. It's ridonkulously overwritten and stanky with melodrama, presumably calculated to capitalize on Fonda's profile as an all-American underdog hero. Really though the entire film hinges on Fonda being a smart and decent guy that nonetheless simply cannot control his urge to murder...!!!          I dunno.

Fonda is a good actor, though, and Price is a lot of fun in (again) a nonsensical role where he might as well just twirl his moustache and cackle sadistically. The crime-thriller parts are well-shot and directed. And Dvorak -  Sigh!  Hollywood only had 5 more years of work for her. I hope she enjoyed three decades of peaceful retirement...

2.5/5
Only 12 years later, Bel Geddes would be relegated to the "old broad" role in VERTIGO (at the exact same age Dvorak is in LONG NIGHT) opposite bizarrely old, hard, and cold-looking "young thang" Kim Novak... what a weird business old Hollywood was.
Ironically, most of Jimmy Stewart's issues in VERTIGO would be solved if he stuck w/ Bel Geddes and forgot about Novak, just as most of Fonda's issues in LONG NIGHT would go away if Fonda could be satisfied w/ foxy, leggy, sassy Dvorak and just let Price have Bel Geddes. The young thang is never worth the trouble!
