CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
The films about American schools are just about as bad. All the boys and girls do, is sing and dance instead of work. Pygmalion was quite a different thing altogether, it wasn't flashy, the actors acted naturally, the story was pleasant, and there were really humerous parts. This film was British. American actresses are far too made up, its horrible to have to sit and watch masks acting.
Also they put a good picture on, with a nasty little film to fill up the programme.

My favourite films are historical ones. I think the one I liked best of these was The Scarlet Pimpernel which starred Leslie Howard, Merle Oberon and Raymond Massey. It seemed an awful pleasure of the French people to go and watch people guillotined with such joy on their face even if the aristocrats were hated by the ordinary people of France. The best film I have ever seen, though it was not a historical one, was Wuthering Heights. I think all the characters acted superbly, especially Merle Oberon as Cathy. All the characters of the story were filled by filmstars who really looked so if they had stepped out of the book. I especially enjoyed this film as Merle Oberon is my favourite actress and Laurence Olivier my favourite actor. I went to see Jane Eyre and was very disappointed as I did not think the film was nearly as good as the book. Orson Welles acted very well but I did not think Joan Fontaine suited the part. The scenery in Jane Eyre was much the same sort as in Wuthering Heights. Another film I enjoyed very much was Pygmalion which starred Leslie Howard who acted excellently in it. Two films I am waiting to see eagerly are Caesar and Cleopatra which stars Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains, and A Song to Remember a film which is about the life of Chopin, and stars Merle Oberon and Paul Muni.

A film is really for the enjoyment of the public and most of the public enjoys films. The type of film I like now is quite different from the type I liked two years ago but I think some of my views are still the same. I rather like the picture which makes you cry, but not too much. As I am the sort of person easy to cry I am easily pleased in that way. On the other hand a film with, say, Abbott and Costello can be screamingly funny but I don't think I would enjoy it more than a sad film. I always enjoyed Deana
