- Laraine Day, The Story of Dr Wassell, 1943. Day was borrowed from MGM after Reynolds, Pamela Blake, Ruth Hussey and Maureen O’Hara were seen by CB De Mille for Madeline in the true WWII story – attacked by New York Times critic Bosley Crowther as “hoopla warfare in a Technicolor blaze… True, such a thing did happen. But not this way, we’ll bet a hat!”
