Sir-A perusal of available papers and magazines satisfies me beyond all doubt that there is one, and only one, film critic in the country, and he is The Listener critic. In calibre he ranks with the best of the theatrical critics of other times, and all that John Doe (with his unintelligible American idiom), and his friend say will not alter that fact. Whether one agrees with all, or any, of the reviews by "G.M." is beside the point. He criticises. constructively and gives reasons. If there were a hundred like him we would get in this country a much-needed improvement in the standard of pictures.
