...living knows more about children and how they grow than Arnold Lucius Gesell. Unlike Freud, who reconstructed the child's development from the moldering memories of neurotic adults, Dr. Gesell (pronounced gazelle) went to the child. For 40 years, most of them spent at Yale University's Clinic of Child Development, Dr. Gesell has poked the fists of newborn babies to see how they contracted, taken 300,000 feet of movies showing how more than 12,000 youngsters grew in skills and aptitudes from the cradle to the age of ten.* This week, in a slim volume called...

...Probably no one could tell you precisely what the film is about--it makes no pretensions at hanging together all of a piece and giving any single, clear meaning. But the word "surrealist" shouldn't frighten you off. With no more than a New Yorker-level of knowledge of Freud, a little patience for modern music and art, and the least bit of initial curiosity, this quite amazing motion picture will soon sweep you up and carry you along in a swirl of color and sound without bewildering you hardly...
