109 It is the aim of the section of the book which starts here and continues for some 80 pages to present a pictorial review of the most interesting and important of 1937 films. The allocation of films into one year or another is peculiarly difficult in Britain, where many months may elapse between the London West-end showing and the arrival of the picture in the cinemas of the country as a whole. Thus a film to be released generally in mid1937, when it will be a “new” film to the mass of the British public, may have been seen in the West-end in late 1936. I have tried to cater for both publics in this “Film Parade of 1937.” Fully three-quarters of the films dealt with belong wholly to 1937. But others, which must be included in any survey that is at all comprehensive — such as “ Romeo and Juliet,” “ Rembrandt ” and “Sabotage” — though seen recently in London will be generally released this year.
