YOU WILL REMEMBER "ALL MY SONS" r,. 9' I t is difficult to sum up the essence of a motion picture by trie use or slogans. However. "ALL MY SONS" lias that natural, human, emotional quality that leaves a lasting impression. One 01 the reasons why this prize play comes out so gloriously on the screen is the care given to it, not only during proauction, hut tor months prior to production. And, in entrusting the writing of the screen play and the picture's production to Chester Erskine, co-producer-director of the "EGG AND I", U-I felt confident that in his hands the picture would assay all the sterling qualities of the play. Also, in selecting a director, U-I felt that Irving Reis, noted for his excellent wort on the "BACHELOR AND THE BOBBYSOXER", would have an unusual perception for the suhject matter of "ALL MY SONS". When you see "ALL MY SONS" you will he the heneficiary of the magnificent amalgam that results from all the elements of a production blending into a triumphant screen achievement. There is not any one thing that you will remember about "ALL MY SONS"; instead, you will be deeply conscious of all the things that have gone into it. iN-r£*NA "MA WL wSfi*S^'■■■■-■■ ■• For that reason, Motion Picture Daily said: "Great skill and talent in acting, writing and direction combine to make this screen version or the Arthur Miller stage play a professional achievement!"
