The couple pursue their hazardous journey closely followed by the scientist and a Swedish police inspector, who have enlisted the aid of a band of Laplanders to assist them track down their quarry. Against the panoramic background of the frozen north, the story of "Valley of Eagles" unfolds in a series of exciting sequences which build up to a good climax. For the remainder of the week, music, laughs and colour served up in a slick manner are the ingredients of "HAPPY GO LOVELY," starring Vera-Ellen, David Niven and Cesar Romero. David Niven, as a successful business-man, becomes involved with a musical revue and finds romance with the show's dancing star, Vera-Ellen. Cesar Romero plays a fast-talking wise-cracking American theatrical producer, supremely confident that he can stage a "Gorgeous Musical with Glamorous Girls" in the stately city of Edinburgh during the annual festival of music and drama.
