Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 12, 1954, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press. Tuesday january 12, 1954 Page i Odd Odd it Ester trays Ball of lire can x Tarn out to be today s Corn Ball. A Day or so ago i saw a private showing of ecstacy the euro Pean made film which had Hedy Lamarr swimming and cavorting in the nude. Made As a serious work of Art ecstacy has become in some quarters a sort of a Stag party joke. Miss Lamarr then Hedy Keisler was launched on the Road to Fame on the strength of the film. It got front Page at Tention when Hedy s husband Fritz Mandl the munitions mag Nate tried vainly to have it sup pressed. Actually what or. Mandl was objecting to was not so much Hedy in the altogether As the theme of the movie. It is about a Young girl married to an older husband who takes her self a Lover. Or. Mandl was considerably older than his Bride. Miss Lamarr is Lour other Hus bands to the Good since ecstacy was tirade and the Pic Ture is very very funny when viewed by today s standards. It is in the repertoire of Hedy Lami Irr the Canadian film Institute and is issued As a work of Art. The film study Sheet which accompanies the movie tells us that ecstacy is a film which deserves study and re valuation now that its Appeal to the lascivious has had time to Wear my Only thought about that h that lascivious people in must have been completely devoid of a sense of humor. The lascivious audience which witnessed the Pri vate showing viewed miss la Marr s nudity with a critical Eye. They noted that when Hollywood signed her up thai they had taken weight rom various places and distributed it in the tight ones. Let it be said right now that miss la Marr was no Marilyn Monroe in those Days. She was Flat chested and Overly hippy and her legs were a mess. Her Beautiful face was the Best thing about her and there Are various closeups of miss la Marr s head and shoulders As she registers emotions becom ing to the title of the film. The european film makers of the 1930 s went in for symbolism in a determined Way. This was regarded As Art by a Small clique who pointed to the crass vulgarity of Hollywood movies. Just about the time ecstacy was made. Clark Gable took a bus ride with Clau Dette Colbert in a picture entitled. It happened one night. I had a whole lot More fun watching the Walls of Jericho fall in a piquant scene from it happened one night than i did seeing Hedy and her boy Friend run through the Woods. I laughed when Hedy sat Down to the piano. I also laughed and so did the audience when Hedy and her Lover stood eyeing each other hungrily and the camera then swung to a picture of a very robust stallion pawing the ground and snorting. This May have been Subtle in the mid-30 s but 20 years. Later we Don t need to be hit on the head with a freudian Symbol what is going on. There Are so Many symbols in ecstacy hat such a simple thing As a Saucer of milk no there was no Saucer of Nilk in the Story can take on a meaning of dark evil. My knowledge of freudian symbols is very scanty and i and to be taken aside after the screening and initiated into such mysteries As Trees photo graphed singly and then in groups. When i was told the meaning of what appeared to be a jewelled Shaft of Light and which was shown frequently during the movie i blushed hotly. Musical convict Lake drama adult.

Bui i also think that there Are a Good Many intellectual snobs who at tend them. They go with the idea that Holly Wood and often Britain too Are places crass materialism and that the european picture making places were shrines of the arts. This of course is a lot of non sense. To see these pictures they endure inferior photography a sound track that is a trial to the ear wretched projection equipment that would not be used even for an up to Date Stag party movie. I m All for seeing the past brought Back to us. I m even willing to accept the decision of some distinguished people that ecstacy is a work of Art. But i do wish miss Lamarr had kept her clothes on in the crests of allowing us to keep our illusions. I know that Hollywood has aids to Beauty and that it is Able to add and subtract on the human form. The trouble is that Hedy s face is divine. Her Chassis is another matter.
