(As the Class and Teacher Saw It)
It is interesting to note that iiany of the students were critical if the unanswered questions raisd by the film. Their comments oilow:
"The only fault in the movie dinner Party is in regard to the lucstions the narrator asked but lid not answer."
"I was hoping all through the iio\ ie the questions would be anwered more fully. I am not sure »f many of them and I know iiany other students in the class rcn't cither."
"I learned something from the )icture, but not as much as I ould have if it actually told me 11 the correct ways."
These comments are to be ex)ccted. No film can answer or hould answer everything. This hould guide the teacher in her )Ianning prior to the showing of he film. Actually, these unanswer;d questions are a help rather han a hindrance to the discussion hat should follow the shoiving of his picture. If the teacher knows n advance what questions are )osed, the discussion will be led lirectly into those activities in eading and fact finding which hould follow.
One boy "wrapped up" his )pinions briefly in these words:
"They asked a lot of questions just have to know the answers o. It was very helpful and interesting.
P. S. It made me hungry!"

(Through the Eyes of the Director)
Some questions remain unanswered at the close of the class, yet the class by this time was aware that there were sources of information within their own school library which would answer these questions and others as well.
After a few days had elapsed, the librarian reported that the demand for Emily Post and The Vogue Book on Etiquette exceeded anything that she had ever experienced in her long term of service as a school librarian.
I folloAved this up. We used Dinner Party in different situations. It has been shown to a group of students in a private school catering to the "well-todo." Children from underprivileged areas have seen and enjoyed the story it presents. From the standpoint of the audio-visual educator, this is one film which really "rings the bell." It is a springboard to intelligent and guided socialized education. Let's have more of this type of picture produced for our schools.
