    LARAINE DAY FANS WILL LOVE THIS CLASSIC FILM !

    Laraine Day (Carol Banning) "Dr. Kildare's Crisis"'40 was in full bloom as a very beautiful young actress in this great Western Classic in 1938, it was a story about the miners and the cattle ranchers playing their good and bad roles, with crooks wearing black hats always waiting to capitalize and rob the innocent town folk of their property. If you were a fan of Laraine Day, this picture shows why she became a great star in the Dr. Kildare films and was loved by the film audiences of the 1940's. Laraine Day later married a famous Brooklyn Dodgers Manager by the name of LEO "D"! Guess his name?
