The Editor Speaks
1954 WAS the year Hollywood settled down and showed the world, a doubting world at that, that they could produce, with remarkable consistency, high gross¬ ing motion pictures.
The long and im¬ pressive list of smash hits released during 1954 proves that, at long last, our picture makers have found the formula for the kind of film fare that hits the boxoffice gong mightily.
How ABOUT THESE as an example: “Th'? High and the Mighty,” “Rear Window,” “On The Waterfront,” “Magnificent Obsession,” “The Caine Mutiny,” “Knock On Wood,” “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers,” “Sabrina,” “A Star Is Born,” “Three Coins In The Fountain,” “Carmen Jones,” “The Bare¬ foot Contessa,” “White Christmas,” “The Student Prince,” “The Last Time I Saw Paris,” “The Sign Of The Pagan,” “The Country Girl,” “Dial M For Murder,” “Black Widow,” etc., etc., etc.
This editor can find no better way of winding up the year than by acknowledg¬ ing the above production hits with a sin¬ cere “Well done, Hollywood.”
With a quick glance over the simply sensational program for 1955 we know that Hollywood is really all out to prove the truth of its slogan, “Movies Are Your Best Entertainment.”
