( Continued from page 4263) their actions perhaps typical of others in their category who like to loaf, lounge, and love without exerting themselves too much mentally or ‘physically. There’s drama, romance, amusing sequences, and a yarn that is slight, but realistic and interesting. The performers are good, and direction and production are in the better class. This has won a number of awards abroad and should more than satisfy patrons of the art and specialty houses. The screen play is by Federico Fellini and Ennio Flaiano, based on a story by Fellini, Flaiano, and Tullio" Pinelli. Ad Lines: “Boys Will Be Boys Until They Grow Into Men”; “They Wanted To Meet Every Pretty Girl In Town”; “He Had To Marry Her . . . But He Grew To Love Her.” The Shorts Parade TWO REEL Drama TRAILIN’ WEST. Reissue (Oct., 1944). Warners — Color Specials. 19m. Chill Wills, a guide, is called upon to help find evi 4264 dence that will free the boy friend of a waitress in town accused of killing a man.
