...daughters as the only background for the whole film. With the faithfulness of attention to detail which characterizes German cinema production.

In the article he expounds at length on the deletrious influence of such programs as "Little Orphan Annie," and "Skippy," on his children. He describes his horror at hearing his six-year-old son command him to "Stick 'em up!" and indulges generally in the expression of those paranoiac which, appearently, haunt parents when their children decided to become sheriffs or outlaws. While the conclusions of the article are interesting only in their absurdity, they move in a just cause; if the programs in question...
