Of ARNHEM
IT is something quite out of the ordinary that a film I should have its world premiere simultaneously in three countries, as happened recently when Britain's new film, distinguished "Theirs is the Glory" was first shown to audiences in London, Ottawa and the Dutch city of Arn- hem. It adds to the significance of this event that by Royal Command this film was seen by the King at a private screening at Balmoral Castle.

EREK BOND, ex-Captain in the Grenadier Guards, was permit- ted by his Commanding Officer to let his hair grow into long curls before being demobilised from the Army to play the title role in the new film of Charles Dickens' "Nicho- Ins Nickleby," and though that was nearly a year ago, the barber is still waiting for Mr Bond.
Even before this picture, perlad 1840, was completed he was cast for the leading part opposite Google Withers in "Joanna Godden," and he was forbidden to cut his hair for this story, which takes him only to 1900.
So popular is this talented young actor that again he has been cast before the completion of his current film. He will go from "Joanna Godden" to star in "Uncle Silas" opposite Jean Simmons, and at the time reverts to 1840 once Bame the again.

The story of their feat is the story of the film. It is the reacted epic of Arnhem. And it is the penetrating picture of modem war- fare. It radiates the burning forti- tude, endurance and self-sacrifice of the British fighting man. It is portrait of a living hell, and out of its fire, fith and fear rises shining that grim humour which, more than anything, characterises the British soldier.
