FILMS
I my own personal in-
terests are shared to any extent by you, then you will find "The Journey," one of the interesting films of the year. Showing at the Hoover and Gald, it has' as its concern the incidents of the 1956 Hungarian Rising, and the escape of a bus lond of neutrala. from terror stricken Budapest, and their attempts to reach Austria.
I could now proceed to all the whole of his
page with the astounding, incidents which
make the filmi
out- such an standing contribution to the kn world, and Incidentally, the most poignant comment on current affairs.
In my opinion, "The Journey" Js the finest statement made upon the Communist regime. Not because it is so outspoken, but because it refuses to be- come propaganda.
Director Anatole Liivak saying; this is how it really is; he WAVES no Bags: he is neither bleary eyed nor starry eyed. He does not add to, nor subtract front This is what i men bellove; this Is the way they behave. They behave as they do because they believe what they do.
The result, or I have already said, is an outstanding artistle triumph Yu! Brynner 09 Majar Surov represents the Communist ideal. His perform ance will be evaluated by those who know what he about. If
It is permissible to, ise "per- feet" then I claim his perform ance is perfect,
. Ife Interprets the role of the Communist idealist with an in-
telligence never yet approached by any actor called to play similar role.
The film really illustrates the
which contradiction of tdeals separate East from West. Bryn- ner portrays with wonderful clarity that confusion of mind which his remorseless logic ob- lains when brought up against The less clearly defined ideals of Western Demineracy.
So I could go on filling page after page.
