CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
manner; T don't think he really loved her'. Seen about six weeks ago.
The Lodger — liked the 'feeling of mystery'.
Essay. The Way Ahead.
(y)P.T.
Family. Small brother; mother present at interview — prompted, e.g. re Madame Curie, mother suggested that P. liked the film; on further questioning, however, it turned out that she found it rather boring. Whole interview, therefore, probably rather unreliable as mother was present.
Mother rather definite views — likes English, rather sentimental films; e.g. Love Story, Mrs. Miniver, etc. Also goes to shows, not necessarily 'straight' plays. Sensible woman, evidently gets on rather well with children on first impression. Six-roomed suburban house, comfortable.
Friends. Usually goes to flicks with one or two friends from school; no very particular friend.
Interests. Reading — novels because of films. Whole interview more superficial than others, did not talk very easily, fewer facts, fewer about herself.
'Why do you go to the cinema?' — 'Well, I suppose to get away from everyday life.' Does not, therefore, like war-films; but liked In Which We Serve, because more 'true-to-life' pictures; how does that square with first statement? Says she likes documentaries, e.g. Target for Tonight, Battle of Britain, 'because they are interesting . . . not exaggerated'.
Likes Disney films — 'would always go and see a cartoon'; Fantasia— 'nice way of listening to music' — goes to concerts, and listens totheB.B.C.
Bernadette — 'I wish it had been longer — it gave you something to think about'; very impressed by it — went to see it twice (Mother suggested — 'I think you liked the acting'); parts mainly remembered: scene where Bernadette shows the nun the tumour on her knee; the nun in the chapel; the miller finds the stream. Last seen five months ago. Also read parts of the book.
Gone with the Wind — preferred book to film — 'there was more in it'. But on the whole likes to see films, 'because you can sit back and watch it'.
Reads critics — Mirror, Observer, Standard; does not always agree with Miss Lejeune.
For Whom the Bell Tolls — liked guerillas, etc., but love story unreal.
