In a rather bizarre role, that of a cynical book publisher who, after being drowned at sea, is allowed to return to life to seek redemp- tion, Nool Coward makes his first Alm appearance in a picture about to be released in New York en- titled "The Scoundrel" (snys the Daily Telegraph.)

Bored and disillusioned after many years of philandering, An- thony Mallare, the publisher, has a romantic love affair with Cora Moore Young, a poetesa. After à few months, however, Tony wear- les of her, and seeks distraction with another woman, a musician. Corn pleads with him not to aban- don her, but he is brutally in- different.

The "King of Hell", Hopel Pro- vince's best-hated bandit, is dend. Death came to him at the hands of enraged militia and citizens.

"King of Hell" Kuo, also widely known as "Northern Heaven-Seli- er," had terrorized the region north of the Ming Tombs in the Changping District for seven years. Released from prison seven years ago, Kuo joined a small group of bandits in the hills and soon made himself their lender. Kidnapping farmers, holding up lone travellers on the mountain roads, Kuo and his gang became powerful enough to dominate the entire region. His methods were so cruel that he earned the undying hatred of the entire population. There was no- traditional Robin thing of the Hood in his nature.

Learning before-hand intended to visit the Temple Fair at a small Village, the militin of the region made elaborate planu for his capture and succeeded.

Word quickly spread that the fearsome bandit leader had been taken. More than 20 villagers, all of whom had suffered from Kun's attentions, ni once waited upon the village alders to request that they be given the privilege of execut- ing Kuo by means of the "Lou- sand slices"-literally cutting him to ribbons. This the elders retus- ed to allow.

But unfortunately another group of villagers did not wait for off- eial sanction. Knives in hand they dragged him from the hands of the militia, took him outside the vil lage and commenced whittling.

Finding that he was still alive gone, the villagers at last bundled him onto a huge pile of firewood and set fire to the improvised pyre. Volunteers kept the flames roaring all night.

In its brittle humour and amus- ing impertinences, the first part of the film resembles Coward's own comedies, and the paternity of many of its best lines is obvious.
