Whatever its faults, Hollywood can boast the most expert technicians in the world. BELOW Speaking of coincidences, here are two somewhat identical shots of two groups of five persons, from two pictures that were poles apart— although both were among the best the year produced. Number one (the scene is a British railway carriage) was The Young in Heart, a gay fable of a family of genial crooks who went straight because an old lady believed in them. The scene in which Roland Young and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., start out to look for honest work will long be remembered. This group comprises Billie Burke, Fairbanks, Young, Janet Gaynor, and Minnie Dupree. Richard Wallace directed the film.
