Britain's Second War Film

WILL Hongkong cinema- goers be allowed to see the British film "U-boat 29" which was produced in London at the Denham Studios with British capital?

Recently the Malayan film censor banned this picture, no reason for the banning being given. The film will go up bo- fore the Malayan Film Commit- tee of Appeal.

How will this 8lm fare in Hong- kong?

At present no notißention of the arrival of the film has been received here.

This fim, which has an imposing British cast including Valerie Hobson, Sebastian Shaw and June Duprez, Iran for four weeks at the London Odean and was generally released throughout Great Britain under Be title of "The Spy in Black."

Scene after scene in this melodrama is said to have such amazing parallels in recent European events and such strong elements of anti-German pro- paganda that responsible American film Interests have released it in the United States under the tle of "U boat 20,"

U-Boat Exploits

The ignominious exploits of U-boat 20 which sets out from the Kiel Canal to an unknown assignment in Scapa Flow near the Orkney Islands, nnd the brutality and cunning of its com- murder, form the, background of a picture that sees the fleet in action.

The Anul scene is reallstic portrayal of the sinking of the U- boat after having been hounded and (bombed by a British destroyer.

The lighter side of the production stresses Germany's economic Im- poverishment as one hears the water at a Kiel hotel say that as there is no butter ur meat, the U-boat comman- der, after 14 days at sea on sardines. will have to do with margarine and boiled carrots.
