YOUR CRITIC RIGHT OR WRONG ! I5I individual film but with tendencies. These are often not very enlivening because their interest mainly lies in the history or the technique and they usually have an axe to grind ; their knowledge of writing has previously often been confined to 'screen plays' or film scripts. Film criticism has to be read and if it is written by inexpert writers is very difficult to follow or to understand. In general, then, I feel that the film has produced great actors, great technicians, great visual beauty and even wit, but I should find it difficult to name a great film critic. A Max Beerbohm of the film is yet to come.
