Pacific Destiny

"Pacific Destiny" is an unpretentious little film that manages to be very fury in parts, with comedy com ing from such an unlikely person as Michael Hordern.

Most people will have read Bir Arthur Grimble's book "A Patier of Islands" in which a green young cadet posted to an obscure group of islands Ande that most of the training and advice he has received must be repinced by plain common sense and tact.

Elliott makes the young man more naive than Sir Arthur must have been, but it adds to the humour of many of which ha The predicaments in finds himself.

Serenade

This long awaited film which cynical Hollywood ob servers predicted would never be finished due to the temperament of the star, is at last upon us.

Because of the arrival of two new hims yesterday instead of the previous day, as had been scheduled. It hus only becn possible to see one before going to press. "Gaby" was my choice, as "Se trade" will probably run for at least two week-enda.

It seems strange that a fim with the gentle-soun ling title "Serenade" thould have been based on a story by the hard- sensation exploiting writer Jahres M. Cain, and it will be interesting lp so how the makers evade the scissora of the censor.

The story concerns the rise to fame of an abscure tenor, his infatuation for a wealthy woman who colle. 1s edlebrities and as quickly drops theti, his
