THE ADULT AND THE CINEMA
Valentino's attitude towards Vilma Banky in one of these pictures led me to act in a similar, but somewhat modified way towards a girl friend with satisfactory results.
In the first instance I became a little ashamed and disturbed at the reaction, but as the phase was shortlived it gradually ceased to worry me. I can only quote outstanding instances. I most certainly have been influenced before but not so strongly as in the cases mentioned here. Later in 1939, 1 saw Juarez.

When we got home we discussed that film as we have never discussed a film before or since. We agreed that, for one thing, it seemed to correspond with the Bible story in every detail. I think that the greatest thing about it was that in no way had the Greatest Sacrifice of all been tampered with. If it had it would have been spoilt for any such as myself who believe (and am grateful for) the fact that Jesus Christ died for all people. AND FOR ME. I had loved Jesus before, but never with such intensity as I did after that film. To see it portrayed in pictures was I think, as I afterwards remarked, better than the finest sermon ever preached.
