KORDA LAUDS "OUR DAILY BREAD" HAILS DISNEY "AS MAJOR GENIUS"
Alexander Korda, production chief of London Films and himself a noted director, took time out recently to pay a gracious tribute to two of his associate United Artists producers. He declared that of all the
. Hollywood pictures he had seen during 1934 the one that "profoundly impressed" him was the King Vidor production. Said Kordas
“ihat magnificent epic of the depression, ‘Our Daily Bread,* is a
film 1. shall never forget. I consider that King Vidor has here pro~ duced a picture that will create screen history. He has taken his courage in both hands, and his inspiration from the headlines in the newsnavers of the world, and presented a vivid account of what can happen, and very prodably is happening, to thousands rendered destitute Oy the world depression, Seldom, if indeed ever, have I seen a motion picture which asks the question, 'What do you think?! oftener than
'Our Daily Bread.! And to me that is one of the chief interests of films."
And then he added very seriously:
"There is one film producer-whose efforts make me very conscious of On inferiority compicext Smile if you must, but I refer to none other than Wait Disney’ Disney, in my view, is one of the major geniuses of the screen. In both his immortal Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony productions, he appears to me to achieve, with an almost nonchalant ease, the very effects which producers of feature films so valiantly, so constantly and, oft-times, so vainly endeavor to accomplish."
