CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
and you never feel that they really are the characters they portray. True to life film, the characters could have lived.
She liked: For Whom the Bell Tolls, but it couldn't have happened; again, she seems to mean mainly the love-story.
Jane Eyre — Thinks Jane had some idea of Rochester being married; only some parts could have happened — first part could. Rochester, for instance, would be sure to have told Jane about his wife as she was mad, otherwise perhaps not.
Liked Things to Come, but very far-fetched, utterly fantastic. Architecture very interesting.

Family. Mother Austrian, father Polish — one sister (older), one brother (younger). Modern house; many relations (cousins, etc.) whom she sees a lot; have discussions on films, amongst other things.

Interests. Likes games, very good at them; at school, mainly history, geography, and Latin. Doesn't like school much, 'it's very tame'. Reads a good deal — novels, etc.
General. Very intelligent, progressive views.
Cinema. Mr. Chips — could actually see wife — in book she plays minor part.

Gone with the Wind — T rather sympathise with Scarlett' — she was
