CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
tion to the enemy. This picture was about the adventures of the men on the carrier and their feelings. There were no women in this film. I think women sometimes spoil the film. The women in the film Ladies Courageous did not spoil the film at all. But I think it would have been a much better film without the love part.
The sort of pictures I don't like is where the heroine meets the hero and they do all sorts of silly things and then something happens then they part and at the end they usually kiss. Life Boat was a very good film spoilt by the fact there was not very much story to it, you only saw the funnel of lines disappearing beneath the waters, and at the end the men and women in the lifeboat just get up and shout 'A Ship' — 'A Ship' and the words 'The End' appear on the screen.
Cowboy films are nice, where they keep to cowboys and indians but when they make a girl start kissing a man it becomes spoilt. War films are usually very good I liked In Which We Serve very much with Noel Coward the star in it. I also liked Sahara with Huphrey Bogard as star, there were no women in it. Some love pictures aren't too bad, but when the people start kissing everybody else it makes me feel sick. I often wonder if the men ever get nervous breakdowns with all those women kissing them? If I was one I would.
In some films the men have to carry women for a long time, I expect the women must be awful light in weight or the men very strong. For Whom the Bells Toll was a good film, their wasn't very much love in it and Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman did behave sensible in it.
I like comedy films or least some of them if they have a good laugh in them.
12. J.H.
I very much enjoy going to the pictures. I do not like animal films (not because I do not like animals) but quite the opposite. I never go to see animal films because they are generally sad. My Friend Flicker, Lassie Come Home, Home in Indiana are among the films which I purposely avoided because of this. I particularly like war films like Guadalcanal, and The Navy Comes Through. I also like films like Pride and Prejudice. In which Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier starred.
Greer Garson is my favourite film star and I like Gloria Jean and the new star Jane Powell also. I do not like the Andrew Sisters (to put it rather vulgerly), they get on my nerves. I do not like much
