REGARDING DECIBELS
To film fans, a kiss on jthe screen is a kiss — maybe hot, perhaps cold, possibly torrid — but still an osculation. To a sound recorder, however, a kiss is not a kiss at all. Ifc is a problem and strictly a matter of decibels! A decibel is a unit of sound comparable to the soft russle of tissue paper heard from a distance of approximately 10 feet. Humphrey Bogart worried the sound men from time to time. Although, from frequent practice, he has become a nearly silent kisser, he was once regarded as a "smacker." Ingrid Bergman is regarded as the gods' gift to sound men by members of that profession. She is an expert and in "Saratoga Trunk," said to be her most torridly amorous portrayal to date. she kisses Garry Cooper time and time again, without so much as the very breath of a noise. Mr. Cooper made a perfect partner, being more or less silent in everything he does. He's not worried about decibels.
