Running time: 62 MINS, 'THE STORY OF UFE'* IS A BEAUTI- FULLY TURNED OUT FILM, aimed at the WiWS or TH t SHOW WOIHD sex education of audiences of all ages. Its title aptly describes the subject matter. Pro- ducers have woven story around the use of three short subjects, produced , earlier in 16m . for distribution through ' high schools and colleges. . Shorts used were titled "The Story of V. D.," "The Story of Reproduction," and "The Story of Birth." Producers, who will distribute picture, are selling film to family theatres only, permit- ting children of any age to attend if accom- panied by parents. No attempt will be made to exploit or high-pressure film sales. Good taste used throughout should make it suit- able fare for social-educational showings. Story which binds shorts together is simple and direct. Its realism, simple dialog and problem presentation does much to ease the shock and prepare audiences for the educa- tional material. Plot deals with boy and girl . whOj after premarital tests, learn from ,the doctor that each has had a past, the boy a venereal disease and the girl has given birth to a child out of wedlock. The doctor's ex- planations and showing of the reels finally bring the two together with a new under-' standing. Educational briefies use both live, models and animated drawings. Art work by Charles ' Shaw is exceptionally well done; animation by Robert Moore and Lester Novros effective. Joseph Creehan, playing the doctor, turns in another of his competent, well-rounded performances. Wanda McKay, the girl, is believable and sincere as is the man, John Parker. Howard Bretherton directed tastefully. Walter Lawrence's story and screenplay is done with direct simplicity and professional touch. Several so-called veteran screenplay writers might profit by a look .at this film. Film editor Dede Allen's is a masterful job of cutting and Sam Baiter's and Hy Aver-' back's narration is solid. ■ * TERMS: 40% of gross, adyertising off theiop, or WE WILL RENT YOUR THEATRE WRITE, PHONE OR WIRE INTERNATIONAL PICTURES, INC. 7 East 42nd Street, New York 17, New York Telephone — MUrray ffiU 2-0230 and 0231
