CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA it was very sad and exciting when the company sergeant had his leg caught under a lorry in the hold of the ship, the ship was gradually sinking lower but at last they managed to free his leg. When the men did eventually reach French Morocco the men were shown fighting against the Germans. After our men had been firing on the German fortress for some time a German officer told them to surrender but they did not. 10. E.F. I think my favourite film was My Friend Flicka. This film, an animal one, had a different theme than the usual film of today. They are usually war or love, or the two mixed. My Friend Flicka was a refreshing story of a boy and a filly he chose to be his own of all the horses on the ranch. The family from which the filly came had never been tamed. They were thought to be 'loco' or mad. The film tells how the filly was gradually tamed, after throwing herself into a fence of barbed wire in a desperate attempt to get away from her captors. How after a long period of nursing she seemed to be recovering until one day she was found on her side with a half healed wound open again. The father ordered the filly to be shot to put her out of her misery. The boy, however, managed to put off the shooting till early morning and went down to the pasture to say 'good-bye'. He found the filly lying in a stream that ran through the field, and he stayed all night holding her head out of the water. In the morning he was found, stiff with cold, by the ranch hand who had been told to shoot Flicka. The boy was very ill for many weeks but when he was at last well enough he was carried by his father down to the pasture where Flicka lived. The filly had not been shot as the cold water running over her had taken the fever away. The film ends with the happy meeting of the two and as the book says leaves them to grow well and strong together. ii. B.R. The most inspiring film I have ever seen was My Friend Flicker. It was not one of the films that you would see every day, and you know exactly how they are going to end.
