Marie Louise (Josiane). 1945. Francesca [Ann Todd). 1945 evacuated child, without a trace of false sentiment. The tender relationship that almost inevitably grew up between the child and the temporary parents fostered, of course, by the growing length of the war was shown by a few significant scenes, never over-prolonged or over-sentimentalized. As a masterpiece of sincerity and sympathy Ann Todd's Francesca in the film the seventh veil will probably never be surpassed, it might well form a standard for other, and probably quite different, productions. We can and must have freshness and sympathy and above all understanding when we enter into the spirit of young girls, each so different, each so essentially herself. Girlhood need no longer be confined on the stage or screen to over-alert juveniles, sometimes associated with American children, or to a sentimentality which is in our hearts rather than in them. The under sixteens are a charming age, an age of dreaming and an age of commonsense. We can make it seem tiresome or illusive, if we choose, but, if we care to, we can quite easily understand. 26
