...friend of the Führer. Over 2,000,000 ft. of film were exposed by German cameramen, no foreign cameras being permitted. When cut and assembled, this footage is to make one full-length German film of Nazi triumphs at the games, and 20 separate short films, with dialog in the languages of countries that sent teams to Berlin. Berlin film men said last week that the job would take nearly another year...
...fashion calls for overdressed sentimentality masquerading as sophistication. Seventh Heaven's strongest quality is sophisticated simplicity which, for the naive, may make its fragile little story seem even more sentimental than it is. Nonetheless, despite flaws in Henry King's direction and in Melville Baker's dialog when it occurred to them that the picture needed purple patches, Seventh Heaven retains most of its original persuasiveness. Even the alarming contrast between Simone Simon's baby-car-riage French accent and James Stewart's adenoidal Princeton one, gives their scenes together-of which the picture...
...consuming desire was to be on first-name terms with the great ones of his world, and now he began to see his wish fulfilled. He even crashed county society, found he could play his part there to his own satisfaction. As for the others: "The setting and the dialog were perfect, the character performances superb, and there seemed to be, only every now and then, a suspicion of overacting among the smaller parts." He began to write plays, stories, a novel. When he sold a play to Manhattan Producer Al Woods, he was encouraged to make a trip...
...presents as a maladministered boon. Technically it begins with the definition of a kilowatt hour ("When this thousand-watt bulb burns for an hour, that's a kilowatt hour"). From then on, by means of a pedagogical disembodied Voice, cartoon and scenic lantern slides, motion pictures and dialog between fictional and actual characters, Power grows into a loud and lively indictment of the U. S. power business's many frauds and follies. By taking stock shares out of one pocket and putting them in another, an impersonator of Samuel Insull demonstrates to a boobish consumer how his great...
...with somebody she said she was with "no man," a statement which the listeners take to mean that she was with Beelzebub. After that only Roger's opportune horseback arrival could possibly save her life. In spite of valiant effort by a harassed cast, the dialog is of the prithee and methinks kind and never gets the strophe of real human talk. MacMurray, heretofore a trade emblem of flip 20th-century youth, invents a kind of brogue which fails to transport him back two centuries and a half. Best shots: careful and authentic reproductions of colonial candle-dripping, house...
