on an intensive course of speech-training. Her bewilderment at the complexity and strangeness of her new surroundings is most forcefully expressed in the fast montage of gramophone records, recording instruments, metronomes and other paraphernalia. The sequence is, of course, utterly unreal, but it makes its point because we are seeing it through Eliza's confused eyes.
In the opening sequence of the musical On the Town we see three sailors, on twenty-four hours' shore leave, setting out to paint the town red. A montage sequence of the three sailors inspecting and dancing around the many sights of the town takes them from place to place while they are uninterruptedly singing the opening chorus " New York, New York, is a wonderful town ! " There can be no question of " realism " here. The fast, gay confusion of colourful images forms a fitting background for the opening song and most delightfully supports the joie-de-vivre of the whole film.
The three sequences from Citizen Kane, Pygmalion and On the Town show how the montage pattern can be used in a variety of dramatically effective ways. These have, if anything, been too little explored. In each case there is a valid dramatic reason why the spectator is suddenly asked to view the action in a different, more artificial way. In each case, in other words, the form of presentation is appropriate to the dramatic content. To decide that a particular series of facts is most conveniently told in short flashes is not enough : the dramatic content of the situation must also be in harmony with the montage form. Without this harmony of form and content, the montage sequence becomes at best a clumsy way out of continuity troubles, and at worst, an unjustifiable piece of trickery.
