...Ghost Goes West (London Films). Rene Clair's first film in English, made at Alexander Korda's London studio from a screen play by Robert Sherwood, is a satiric fantasy notable for the qualities of grace, charm and imaginative wit that have long distinguished its director's work in French. Produced by a Hungarian, written by an American, directed by a Frenchman, and acted by an English-speaking cast, it has the homogeneity of style, the smooth polish often conspicuously lacking in its Hollywood counterparts. Its most serious fault is an occasional lethargy of pace, which...

Eleven years have passed since Ernest Hemingway published In Our Time, a collection of remarkable short stories. Since then he has written two novels, a parody of Sherwood Anderson, a book on bullfighting, two more volumes of short stones. In all these he revealed his distaste for literary affectations, his admiration for simple human courage and physical accomplishment, his preference for warm countries, his distrust of people who use big words and indulge in easy generalities. But he has never formulated a statement of the philosophy that has guided him in his writing. Consequently, Green Hills of Africa, which contains...
