.1 Place to I.h'e is not a package of solutions. It is structured to create within the audience a feeling that it must get to work on this problem right where it is: right in its own coniniunitv. And this is good, for churches can do much themselves, and they can motivate others to take up this important work. Because of its technical excellence, its splendid treatment of the subject, and the pressing nature of the prol)lem. this film is highly recommended to church and community groups. Voung adults should see it. for they have aging parents. Older people should see it, for they have attitudes that need to change. Community leaders need to see it, for they will be (ailed upon to help initiate and support local efforts looking to the adecpiate housing of our senior citizens. New Moody Films Two new Moodv Institute of .Science films. Prior Clnini and Time and F.leriiily, are excellent for youth and adull groups of the church and community. Each is outstanding in technical excellence, and both exhibit types of pliotogra|)hy seldom brought to the screen. The time-lapse and timecompression ])hotography in both will not soon be forgotten. In the second film a two-day "vacation" is compressed into ten magnificent minutes, and a trip through the Panama C:anal at the speed of sound simply takes your breath away! Both are in exc|iiisite color. The first has a running time of 45 minutes and rents for S20: the second runs 48 minutes and rents for .S2.T.

The casting is fair, and some of the actors scrami)le after their parts with more zeal than skill. Ihis film may be O.K. for TV, but it is a rickety load of assorted ideas on a wheelbase too long for easy ]>arking in church situations.

He jjroduced this 28-minute color film for Muhlenburg College to show the things which are distinctive about a church related college. It tells the story of Dick .Sthafer, from matriculation to graduation, touching the various crises through which he passed. Fhe film reveals to us (as Dick's experience revealed to him) the extra qualities which a (Christian college puts into education. Shilin's superior craftsmanship is seen in the editing and in the commentary: both are excellent. It is highly recommended for use with parents and youth.
