Different in content. . . Dif- ferent in location. . . Different in landscape, people, customs. Opposite in rhythm and form, they create a vast and multi-colored Film- Symphony about Mexico. Four Mexican folk- songs accompanying these novels." Thus Sergei Eisenstein described the conception of his film, "Que Viva Mexico!" on which "Time in the Sun" is based It is a love story, of the people for the land and of the sun for the people. Each of the four "novels" are characterized by a love story set against characteristic back- grounds; the two lovers on the lagoon in an- cient Mayan days; the wedding festival of Tehuantepac, matriarchy, with the shy bride- groom and Amazonian bride; the peon of the "Maguey" episode, whose bride is raped by the hacendado; and, finally, the love and merry-making during "Calaveras" "A spectacular display and a magnificent account of Mexican native life which rises from mere externals to spiritual forces. . . The photography is so stunning and of such dramatic strength that each individual shot offers an exciting experience!" N.Y. Times "A film of magnificent visual beauty, ex- traordinary and stirring. It rises to great lyrical heights!"

The second thing is Black Wull, a wild, fierce dog. The third love of McAdam is for his bottle A newcomer to the rugged, mountainous country is David Moore, played by John Loder. good natured and kindly. He tries to be friend- ly to McAdam David also has a dog, Owd Bob, a mag- nificent specimen and a fine sheep dog. The anger of McAdam's neighbors boils over when more sheep are found with their throats cut, evidently by a dog. They bring McAdam to trial for harboring a sheep killer. David's evidence helps to acquit McAdam but does not increase the dour Scotchman's friendliness, even when David saves him from an angry mob. The dislike of McAdam for David is in- creased when Owd Bob defeats Black Wull In an exciting sheep herding contest In a fit of drunken rage, McAdam quar- rels with Jeanie and drives her out of his home. David and Jeanie are married. Mc- Adam cannot keep away from the wedding. In the midst of the ceremony a shepherd breaks in with the news that more sheep have been found with their throats slit. It is def- initely indicated that Black Wull is the killer. With head bowed McAdam returns to his lonely cottage followed by his dog. There he takes down his gun and slowly loads it. Going outside with Black Wull he shoots the one creature he loved best of all Misfortunes pile up. With no place to go, McAdam seeks a haven with David and Jeanie. One of David's dogs has just had a litter of puppies. McAdam selects a puppy with sharp teeth and a jet black coat. In this puppy he sees Black Wull all over again.
