Chosen as the best British film of 1950 was The Blue Lamp. Jack Warner, its star, was voted as Britain’s leading money-drawing actor at the cinemas’ box office in the Motion Picture Herald poll. He has a fine record both on stage and radio, as well as films. He is the brother of Elsie and Doris Waters. His role as a veteran policeman in “ The Blue Lamp ” undoubtedly in- fluenced his well- earned success at the year’s poll. Previous awards were given for Odd Man Out (1947) ; The Fallen Idol (1948) ; and The Third Man ( 1949 )- Other awards were given for All About Eve (American) as the best film from anv source; The Unde- feated (British) for the best documentary' film. A special award for work lying outside the feature and document- ary fields was won for The True Face of Japan —This Modern Age (Great Britain), and a United Nations award for the best film embodying one or more of the princi- ples of the United Nations Charter was won by In- truder in the Dust (U.S.A.). The panel of judges of the British Academy Award is chosen by the Council from among senior film makers and executives. The aims of the Academy are to advance film art and tech- nique by discussion and re- search and to encourage film-making everywhere. The Odeon Theatre.
