CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA I hope many more such films will be made. I think Roddy McDowall is very good in this sort of film. I like true films about the Army, Navy and Airforce. Of the army I liked The Immortal Sergeant, I think, the best airforce film I have seen is Target for Tonight, a film which I liked and was mostly about the navy was We Strike at Dawn. Some other good films are Gung Ho, The Way Ahead and Coastal Command and The First of the Few. I liked Women Coragous which was about The Womans Auxiliary Ferrying Service. Sometimes I like The March of Time which is a monthly programe. I like cowboy films but the trouble is the stories are all so much alike. I also enjoy films like North West Mounted Police. I prefer technicolour to ordinary black and white. I like Nelson Eddie and Jeanette Macdonald together. Eddie Cantor and his goggly eyes makes me roar with laughter. I do not like sloppy films. I do not like films in which there are too many bands. I did not like Sensations ofig^ because it had about six jazz bands and there were also some negroe singers which I detest. I like a film to have a fairly possible story. I do not like all singing and dancing and no story. One thing I do detest, which is not really about the films themselves but about the cinema, is little boys who make rude remarks and keep hissing and booing at things. (Time taken, i hour 45 mins.) The Films I Like and Dislike 10. L.C. I am not very fond of films as a whole. If I do go however I like films about animals and the Wild West. Also I like funny films. I do not like sloppy films. I went to see Madame Curie and I liked it very much as it was true. I do not like murder films as they make me dream. I hate jazzy films. I think Walt Disney spoils his films by having some nasty parts in them. I especially like horse and dog films. 11.J.G. Some films are very nice, but others are not too good. I like films like Wing and a Prayer which was about a carrier unknown which is called X because in case the name would be letting out Informa 120
