i Look out, there! Janette Scott — Brian Smith IT’S A GREAT FEELING Starring: Dennis Morgan, Doris Day, Jack Carson. Director: David Butler. Producer: Jack L. Warner . Certificate : U . Category : B. This is just a “light of heart” picture and is really good fun. A bit slow to begin with, but when it gets going all sorts of things happen, and all sorts of stars— Gary Cooper, Sydney Greenstreet, Edward G. Robinson, Errol Flynn, etc. — pop in and out. There is hope for us all when we can laugh at ourselves. In this film Hollywood laughs at itself with gaiety and abandon, which is, perhaps, a presage of better things to come. E. BUCCANEER’S GIRL Starring: Yvonne De Carlo, Philip Friend, Robert Douglas, Elsa Lanchester. Distributors: G.F.D. Director: Frederick de Cordova. Producer: Robert Arthur. Certificate : U. Category: B. Running time: 75 minutes. This is not the sort of film which would support Very Rev. Fr. Hilary Carpenter’s thesis that : “The cinema is the highest form of art”. It is about a pretty lady who one day finds herself aboard a pirate vessel. I got the impression that everyone in the film was regarding it as a bit of fun and I have no doubt that manv “Fourth Formers” will find it good fun also. I also got the impression that Elsa Lanchester is too talented an actress for this sort of “kids’ stuff”. E.
