We warn you not to be too gullible in accepting obvious clues, because Paramount, Inc., is bent...
...Slalom" must be a rare treat for the devotees of snow and ice, for besides being entirely in a sympathetic vein, it shows how the feats of splendid grace are performed by experts. For the rest of humanity this unique film is vicarious participation in the breathless and apparently effortless antics of winter athletes, without involving any of the chills and spills, but at the same time giving a most generous sample in comparison with the measly glimpses of the news reels...
