...Warner) is one of the best things Hollywood has done since it learned to talk; and the movie can take a place, without blushing, among the best ever made. But unlike many films of high quality, it does not wear its art on its sleeve. This admirable reticence may earn Treasure some peculiar awards. Movie trade papers are treating it as a western; Daily Variety called it "action stuff with heavy masculine appeal."

Arthur Rank's empire just when he has a chance to earn some badly needed dollars (TIME, Dec. 21). And no matter how Hollywood feared the bark of pressure groups, the bite had not yet proved painful. Among the two big moneymakers of 1947, according to Variety, were David O. Selznick's Duel in the Sun and Darryl Zanuck's Forever...
