Motion Picture Reviews
produced delightfully. Fine for family and children’s matinees.

OVAL PORTRAIT » »
An amateur production made by the students in cinematography at the University of Southern California. Student director Richard L. Bare. From the story by Edgar Allen Poe. Silent with musical accompaniment.
This is surprisingly good amateur work. The atmosphere of gloom and dread is well drawn to orient the audience to the mood of the story, and the young cast does very well. It is interesting to adults and adolescents, but probably not to children.
