EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 1943 EDITION 232-271 THE SAVIOUR IS BORN. 30min 16-sd- $175; rent $10 1941 Foundation 232 el-Jh-sh-c-adult "Photographed in natural color, this film tells the familiar Christmas story; the prophesy of Micah, the journey to Bethlehem, the con- spiracy of Herod. Costumes and settings are good, but the acting is unimaginative and the travel sequences so long drawn out that the story drags. The shepherds and Wise Men are portrayed as arriving at the stable simulta- neously. All ages will find the film interesting, if not inspiring. May be used in church and church school to supplement study of the life of Christ." Int. jour, of religious educ.

It was filmed in the slum regions of the east end of London. The story centers around an English middle class family, restless and irritable because it lacks any satisfying goal in life. Members of the family attend an evangelistic service and listen to the message of the famous English missioner, Lax of Poplar. He preaches on the Mastership of Jesus. , . He relates several incidents in his ministry, each of which is dramatized as a part of the picture. After the service the family return home and come to the conclusion that they too can find a way out of their restlessness and dissat- isfaction by accepting the great Master. "For American audiences the film is some- what handicapped by English accent. It was not always easy for the reviewer to follow the conversational episodes. However the evange- listic message of the preacher is strong and fine; his manner is natural and wholesome, and his voice is clearly recorded. Though the pic- ture lacks something in artistry, the total im- pression is good. It will be useful and profitable m any Sunday evening service, especially where an evangelistic appeal is desired."
