In other words the flickers Are going to alternate Between Broad slapstick and the tenses kind of drama. On one end of the entertainment stick we Are going to have plenty of joyous romps like the Bride goes wild and on the other we will have Stark drama much on the order of All my sons. For a Long time Hollywood Lias shown the tendency to walk the in Between path. Its comedies have been too anaemic and its drama has lacked punch because it has been afraid that people would cry morbid and stay away in droves. The lash years of the War have fone ant the movies have now gotten Hack to the time when anything won t pro. People Are begin Ninfer to shop for entertainment and when that happens we ure Apt to tact a More substantial Bill of fare. Personally i m All in favor of slapstick providing we Don t act sick and tired of it. I m also in favor of tense dramas. I would to however like to see a screen that is entirely lacking in subtlety. A Quality by the Way which most people Gay movies Are lacking in anyway. As an example of out and Oul drama two forthcoming movies Spring to mind. They Are the Vel vet touch with Rosalind Russell and sorry wrong number with Burt Lancaster and Barbara Stan Wyck. Has had bad Luck the velvet touch is the first of the movies Rosalind Russell is sen Ting in collaboration with her husband Fred Brisson and with the writer director Dudley Nic hols. Rosalind has run into lot of bad Luck during the past High Hope s Wen t into the filming of mourn b e c o m is Electra. .

The Aca Emy award would1 have Bee valuable publicity to plug mourning becomes Electra which is a liter screen translation of a Moder classic. Mourning becomes Electra turned out to be one of the Box office duds of the year. It was filmed in the Cinema Centre screen room Here and the print sent Back to Toronto that sort of thing happens elsewhere. Now they be taken the movie Hack and Are trying to Cut it into a Shorter running time. All this of course is a blow 1 the Russell prestige and she need a hit to bring her Back. She i apparently Lucky in the Velveth formula which is now proving to office fodder. It she plays a actress who murders her produce in. The first reel and confesses the crime on the stage during the performance of a play. Macabre in extreme sorry wrong number the othe drama i have in mind is macabre in the extreme and is adapted from the horror radio programme which had to be repeated several times to satisfy listeners in. It is All Abou an invalid wife Barbara Stanwyck who hears her own murder being plotted on the phone is unable to get out of bed to Hel herself. The finale is sheer creeps., meanwhile the comedy depart ment is not Idle.
