ADVENTURES OF JIMMY. AFFlms 1951 llmin sd b&w $50, rent $5 792.93
sh-c-ad Produced by James Broughton "A picturesque account of the search of a particularly naive young man for his ideal mate — and his rather overwhelming success at the film's conclusion. Though told with tongue in cheek, it has considerable to say about loneliness in a busy world. The film takes a not undeserved poke at those psychoanalytical literary travelogues so popular today featuring the neurotic as hero, Mr Broughton reads the commentary while Weldon Kees, himself a poet and painter arranged and played the musical accompaniment."
