THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA Now the second word behaviour takes me back to that picture Lady in the Dark in which you will remember Ginger Rogers throws a paper weight at Ray Milland and later apologises in a very charming manner this also brings in the word manners. Well now think of that British picture It Happened One Sunday remember the fun they use. Well, Lady in the Dark teaches you your manners the Americans have a very nice way of showing you but the British picture is teaching you how to swear. A picture can be good without this fun. For wisecracks American pictures certainly show you Fashions but where is British fashions, Stars are always smart I should certainly like to go to a Dance in Evening Dress with a young Lady in a long dress. And now the second question: Have films ever appeared in your dreams. Yes. One night I dreamt that Edward G. Robinson was in a room with me and that he had hold of me by the throat trying to murder me because I was insured. I think that brings in the picture Double Indemnity. Well I hope these questions will help you. 6. Dr. . . . i. Influence of films on behaviour — Such films of the beautiful open air, semi-nudes, glamourised sex affairs as Escape to Happiness ( Mediterranean) Autumn Crocus (Switzerland) The Blue Light (Dolomites) have almost persuaded me to escape from professional work, social convention etc to take up painting, travel and have amorous adventures (finance and discretion unhappily prevailed) . Lady in the Dark (after reading Arrival and Departure) showed me that physical fulfilment matters more than professional success. Mark of the Vampire I'd give anything not to have seen. 2.
