...leftist point of view will have the answer pat. Manning is the leader of an upperclass church, the Episcopalians being the cream of the wealthy fashionables of New York, and so he inevitably bespeaks their strong Anglophile sentiments. They will see in the college presidents the tools of their gold-plated corporations, serving to present the demands of unbridled-capitalism in the best light.

For M.G.M. has screened his "immortal classic," the "Wizard of Oz," as only M.G.M. can. With a sort of inverted Midas touch, they have turned fabulous amounts of gold into one of the most imposing pictures of the season. Of course, Frank Baum has been rather left out of things in the process and a strong aroma of Walt Disney drifts out from the screen at times, but however hybrid is the plot, it is a good show...
