...churches, reaching out among the 9-to-5 weekday population around them for what congregations they can get. Lutherans in the mushrooming suburb of North Hollywood have organized a drive-in church. Pastor Glen E.

...Faulkner tales on which it is based (The Hamlet, Barn Burning). The Hamlet, in which Author Faulkner aired the moral midden of Yoknapatawpha County in an ecstasy of disgust, is particularly strong stuff, and Producer Jerry Wald clearly had to clean up his subject for the screen. In the process, unfortunately, he converted Faulkner's county into a community almost as corny as Al Capp's Dogpatch, and reduced all the poetry of degradation to the customary commercial serving of fresh ham and pot likkah.
