...reason for this celluloid explosion is the widespread conviction among young people that film is the most vital modern art form. Jean Cocteau believed that movies could never become a true art until the materials to make them were as inexpensive as pencil and paper. The era he predicted is rapidly arriving. Students can now make a short film for as little as $25, and a workable 16-mm. camera can be had for as little as $40. McLuhan-age educators, moreover, welcome this form of creative endeavor. Some foresee the day when film training will be an accepted...

The trend started at the turn of the century with Gide, who wrote stage pieces about Philoctetes, Prometheus, and Oedipus. Montherlant turn-to Pasipha*e, and Cocteau dramatized Antigone, Orpheus, and Oedipus. Claudel turned to Proteus, and did a version of Aeschylus' entire Orestes trilogy. Giraudoux turned to Amphitryon, Electra, and the Trojan War, while Sartre refashioned the Oresteia in his Les Mouches. As part of this movement, then, Anouilh wrote not only Antigone, but plays about Eurydice...
